Hotel InterContinental Montréal ReviewAcross the street from the convention center and a few minutes' walk from the Basilique Notre-Dame and Vieux-Montréal's restaurants and nightspots, this striking luxury hotel opened in 1991, and in 2008 started a 5-year renovation of its rooms, lobby, health club, and reception area, all to better compete with a new Westin hotel (Le Westin Montréal) opening directly across the street in 2009. But one can only wonder how the hotel could significantly improve the guest rooms: They're already spacious, quiet, spotless, well lit, and, in many cases, romantic. They're also decorated with photographs and lithographs by local artists. The turret rooms are fun, with their wraparound windows, and guests of the club rooms get access to an exclusive lounge serving complimentary continental breakfast and afternoon hors d'oeuvres, beer, and wine. The restored 1888 Nordheimer building adjacent to the lobby contains a bar-bistro, and the hotel has direct access to the underground city. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
