5. Auberge du Vieux-Port
Located in Vieux-Montreal – just a few blocks north of Notre-Dame Basilica – the Auberge du Vieux-Port makes a convenient home base for those looking to explore the city’s waterfront and historic sites. Travelers enjoy the hotel’s «very French» atmosphere, describing the guest rooms’ exposed brick or stone walls and hardwood floors as trendy, though some thought the rooms were a tad too small.
6. Abigail’s Hotel
Occupying a romantic 1930s Tudor mansion, Abigail’s Hotel is an intimate, 23-room property ideal for couples (no children younger than 13 are allowed). Reflecting the charm that pervades Victoria, rooms are appointed with seasonal flowers, fresh cookies, iPod docking stations, free Wi-Fi access and, in the premiere Sapphire rooms, a wood-burning fireplace and antique chandeliers.
