“Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!”

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at the St. James. To say that this hotel was amazing is an understatement. I am very well traveled and this is absolutely the best hotel I have ever stayed in. It is over the top superior in comfort, service and has the "WOW" factor that has been missing in other 5 star hotels I have stayed at. The room was very large and had a lovely sitting room with plasma TV. The bed was extremely comfortable. The shower was fabulous, 3 attendants came in each evening for the turndown service and brought anything we needed and tidyed up the room. The overall architecture was fabulous. The location was absolutely perfect for walking to the old part of Montreal and to Place Jacque Cartier. No expense was spared at this hotel. I will not soon forget this hotel!

“Sublime!! Best hotel in Montreal....”

The hotel is charming, cozy and absolutely spotless. The decor is wonderful and the staff polite and welcoming. I have stayed in some of the finest hotels in Europe and the St. James is comfortably in their league. I can honestly say it is one of the few times I have had no complaints with a hotel...quite rare for me!

“Decadent luxury”

Le St. James

5 of 5 stars
Westport, CT
Jul 12, 2007
2/3 found this review helpful

We’ve stayed at some of the best hotels in Europe – the Hotel Le St James is clearly in their league.

The hotel is small and sophisticated. The lobby has the air of a gentleman’s club.

The two suites we had for three nights were magnificent – large, comfortable, and decorated in an old world charm. The service was impeccable.

The old city location is convenient to both the old city and downtown, which is a 10-5 minute walk.

This is the perfect hotel for a couple’s weekend getaway to Montreal.

“Great! Stay here!!”

Le St. James

Jul 10, 2007
2/3 found this review helpful

I am very critical of hotels, and this one, surprised me. I have nothing but glowing things to say about this hotel. It was first class all the way. The location was superb, the concierge was fantastic, the room exceeded expectations. Everything was impressive. Stay here, it's expensive, but worth it in the end. You will have great memories!

PS: Don't miss Gibby's for dinner!

“Charming Hotel, Warm Staff”

Le St. James

5 of 5 stars
NYC Metro Area
Jul 6, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

Wow. A truly wonderful hotel in Old Montreal. Worth every penny; the service and staff alone make this a winner. Add in fabulous rooms, especially the suites and this is not just a great find in Old Montreal, but a great place period.

Even traveling with an infant, our stay was easy and enjoyable. The staff (all of them from the housekeepers to the concierge to the general manager) went out of their way to make our stay perfect. The concierge were amazing. They arranged for great, kid friendly dining options that did not involve placemats with crayons and hot dogs. Speaking of which, Eggspectations is a great breakfast option and just steps away from the hotel.

If you are in Montreal, might pass by Montreal or are just thinking about Montreal run don't walk to the St. James.
