Le Mount Stephen

We stayed at the Le Mount Stephen Hotel for 4 nights in May. We enjoyed our stay. We loved the beautiful historical portion of the hotel. The hotel and service were amazing. We used the concierge for dinner reservations at Bar George. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a central location. It is a five minute walk to the Metro station and there are a lot of great restaurants in the area. The hotel restaurant, Bar George, is top notch. Highly recommend and would definitely stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience staying at Le Mount Stephen. Beautiful hotel, spectacular bar, and great restaurant. Exceptional customer service.

I think I have found my absolute favorite hotel in North America. You enter via the beautifully restored Victorian home of Lord Mount Stephen, the first president of the Canadian Pacific Railway and President of the Bank of Montreal. Behind this is a contemporary tower of ninety extraordinarily comfortable and quiet rooms. The Bar is a fabulous riot of color and noise and the dining room, where we had a delicious dinner, is quiet and very stylish. Our bedroom and bathroom were super-clean and very modern - the bath one of the biggest ever, as well as a big rain shower with chromotherapy to help with relaxation. The lighting, blinds and heating worked very efficiently using a straight-forward screen, and our king size bed was perfect with just the right-weight duvet and good linens. Best of all the staff were both super-friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to return.

Le Mount Stephen offers an exquisite blend of luxury and comfort. With attentive service, beautifully rooms, and tasty dining, it’s the perfect five-star retreat in the heart of Montreal. A stay that will be remembered. Highly recommended!

My wife and I booked a deluxe king room for a romantic getaway to Montreal. We had visited the bar on a previous visit and loved it so we were really looking forward to our stay. Check in was very smooth but the disappointment started as soon as we opened the door to our room. The lighting, blinds, and HVAC are controlled by a ridiculously complicated system, it took about half an hour to try to figure out how to dim the very bright, fluorescent colour temperature lighting as the blinds went up and down over, and over, and over…. The room was large but almost comically under furnished with a large unfurnished space that would’ve been great had we wanted to host an in-room dance party, but otherwise made the room feel barren. The walls were also rather plain (even though they were wallpapered throughout) and gave the room the feel of a Holiday Inn or similar chain hotel. The bathroom was nice, the shower was great and there was a very nice, large soaker tub. Minor quibbles related to water that pooled in the shower (tiles not properly sloped), and a loose shower control. For some reason the bathroom door is a large glass affair on a noisy slider that woke up my partner each time it was closed. Another disappointment was the view, we were on a higher floor but when the blind lifted the exterior wall only has a vignette of small windows. I guess this was done for exterior aesthetics, but in our opinion the in-room guest experience should govern. The common areas are nice but lacking in charm or character in the new part of the hotel (although the corridors were very nice and the gym is great). It should also be noted that the front facade of the old building is under construction so you have to enter through a small side door, none of this was disclosed by the hotel. Overall this is not a 5 star hotel and, although we really wanted to like this place, we can’t recommend it.
