Published on June 22, 2009 – In the past several years, with the seeds of boutique hotels so liberally sown and grown, sometimes it’s hard to see the hotels for the trees. But Montréal’s Opus Hotel continues to stand out, giving high-end travelers reasons to return to its beautifully revamped art nouveau building.
In keeping with the Opus Hotel brand’s commitment to providing guests with luxe lodgings in a swank setting with instant access to a city’s vibrant urban scene, Montréal’s Opus instantly connects visitors to the heady vibe of Saint-Laurent Boulevard, where the well-heeled and beautiful congregate for dinner, drinks and dancing. There’s certainly no shortage of chic watering holes, upscale eateries, crave-worthy restaurants and clubs to get your funk out on “The Main”.
But, truth is, visitors will likely be tempted to stay put. With in-house hangouts the likes of the glamorous KOKO restaurant and lounge, which bliss out taste buds with mouth-watering modern Asian cuisine, and the ultra-cool Suco Lounge, decorated with steel sculptures and a 30-foot marble bar backlit with orange mirrors (with the city’s hottest DJs curating the evening’s music), guests will not be in a hurry to seek out a more happening scene.
For the traveler who loves upscale and exclusive treatment (there are an intimate 136 guestrooms) and staying connected to the city vibe, the Opus Montréal is an excellent choice. Condé Nast thinks so too, naming it one of the world’s hottest new hotels in 2008.
