Château Versailles

The official lodging of the Musée des Beaux-Arts, the Versailles's location near the museum and high-end shopping make it popular (note, though, that it's outside most of the tourist orbit). The château began as a European-style pension in 1958, expanding into adjacent pre-WWI town houses. The most spacious rooms have enjoyed the full decorator treatment, with modern furnishings that have faint Deco tinges and 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. One deficiency: the lack of an elevator by which to deal with the three floors. The modern tower across the street is sister hotel Le Meridien Versailles, 1808 rue Sherbrooke ouest (tel. 888/933-8111 or 514/933-8111). It is home to the well-regarded restaurant Brontë.
