I had been to Montreal once before in 2007 for the Canadian Grand Prix (separate post here), and one of favorite things to do during my earlier visit is to walk around Old Montreal exploring all the little shops, cafes,galleries and trying out great dinners at the fabulous restaurants there. As the name would suggest, this portion of the city is very old. One-lane cobblestone streets criss-cross between classic landmarks like the Place D'Armes and the Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal, there are street performers, horse and carriage rides.. Like stepping into a time machine, a trip to Vieux Montreal allows you a glimpse at an older world. It is only a small section of Montreal but it has that Old Paris/Amsterdam feel to it.
Warm, cozy and inviting are the words that come to mind when I entered the hotel. The lobby was grand and had a European charm to it and our room was a three room suite (BR, LR/Kitchenette and Bath) that was like having our own apartment. It was spacious and well-appointed. The furnishings and style were very modern, yet very cozy at the same time.This boutique hotel is located in Rue St.Sulpice in the most historic spot of Old Montreal just steps away from the famed Basilica de Notre Dame and is an ideal spot for sight-seeing, shopping and strolling along the cobble stone streets exploring all the shops and sights.
This time I was really looking forward to staying at the Hotel Le Saint Sulpice and surely my wife and I weren't disappointed. Surprisingly located in the same block as the Notre-Dame cathedral in old Montreal, couldn't be in a better location to explore this beautiful city
