When you arrive, take some time to enjoy your room at Hotel St. Paul, whose contemporary décor matches perfectly the Beaux Arts style of the building. When hungry at night, I recommend Toqué! for a taste Montreal’s best French cuisine (it’s about ten minutes from your hotel, in Old Montreal).
Or there’s Pullman if you’re in the mood to do some wine tasting in an environment that includes a huge chandelier made with glasses, and chairs hanging from the ceiling (it’s located a little further north on Parc Avenue). Before going to bed, take a walk through Old Montreal and admire the particular aesthetics of the buildings located on St. Paul and Notre-Dame.
Around the Palais des Congrès, the new International District is packed with avant-garde buildings and colourful creations, while the underground network from Place d’Armes to Square Victoria reflects Montreal’s taste for innovation and creativity.
