The elegant, revamped bathrooms at Le Germain Montréal

Montréal’s trendy downtown district is home to another Le Germain, a chic and intimate boutique hotel designed for a hip clientele of leisure and business travelers. Opened in the spring of 1999—and renovated this spring—this former office building was refurbished to offer a unique concept in accommodation.

Designer accessories combine with contrasting textures, natural earth tones, dark woods, glass and mirrors to forge a luxurious decor noted for its warmth and comfort. The 101 rooms and two suites exploit the natural light and panoramic views of the city and have the feel of a stylish loft.

Among the hotel’s enhancements are Marie Saint Pierre linens and accessories; wall-mounted 42-inch LCD TVs; connectivity panels for laptop use; energy-saving light fixtures; locally crafted furniture; revamped bathrooms with new lighting; and a new and improved fitness room.

Le Germain Montréal’s top accommodation is the Bi-Level Apartment Suite, a loft space that includes a living room with wood-burning fireplace; fully equipped kitchen; powder room, including washer and dryer; and a king-size bedroom with separate bath and shower on the upper floor. For families, guests can add up to two adjoining rooms to the suite for $210 each.

At the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant, Laurie Raphaël, designer Jean-Pierre Viau has created a contemporary environment flavored with local ambiance. It’s a casual and welcoming setting for exploring the richness of Montréal’s culinary heritage, and to enjoying a great selection of fine wines.

Built in the early 20th century in Quebec City’s Old Port, Hôtel Le Germain-Dominion has unique style and irresistible charm that is reflected in its 60 rooms overlooking either Old Quebec or the St. Lawrence River. The blend of classic architectural features and an ultramodern design creates a memorable experience. Located in the heart of a neighborhood known for its rich past and wealth of gourmet restaurants, the hotel is the perfect starting point for a historic and culinary adventure.

There are no suites here, but the larger Superior Deluxe Room features a king bed with bath and glass shower. All rooms include free wireless high-speed Internet access, minibar and deluxe continental breakfast included in room rate.
