Château Versailles

Frommer's Review

This long-popular facility underwent a remarkable transformation from a popular but dowdy inn to a full member of the growing local ranks of snappy boutique hotels. It began as a European-style pension in 1958, expanding into adjacent pre?World War I town houses. The spacious rooms have enjoyed the full decorator treatment, with navy, gold, and olive tones, fine modern furnishings with faint Deco tinges, and some Second Empire touches. Some have fireplaces. A buffet breakfast is served in the main living room, where you can sit at a small table or in an easy chair in front of a fireplace. Only one deficiency remains: the lack of an elevator to deal with the three floors. Because the hotel is the official lodging of the nearby Musée des Beaux-Arts and its price and location near rue Sherbrooke shopping are so competitive, reserve well in advance.

A modern tower across the street is the sister hotel Le Meridien Versailles (1808 rue Sherbrooke ouest; tel. 888/933-8111 or 514/933-8111). It has 110 units, a fitness center, and the well-regarded restaurant Brontë. Rates there start at C$159 (US$138/£68) with a variety of package deals.
