Montréal
North America's most European city is a bilingual, bicultural, and thoroughly creative metropolis that excels in festivals, food, and winter culture. Montréal's underground city (RÉSO) connects 33km of heated pedestrian tunnels; the Plateau and Mile End neighborhoods rival Paris for café culture; and the summer festival season — Jazz Fest, Just for Laughs, Osheaga — makes it one of the world's great event cities.

“The finest boutique hotel in Montreal — a converted 1871 cotton warehouse in Old Montreal with exposed original brick, beautiful loft rooms, and impeccable service.”
