Hôtel Nelligan

Frommer's Review

Occupying adjoining 1850 buildings, the Nelligan opened in 2002 and spent C$8 million to expand in 2007, going from 63 to 105 units; more than half of the overnight accommodations are now suites. Bedrooms are dark-wooded, masculine retreats, with puffy duvets, heaps of pillows, and quality mattresses. The staff performs its duties admirably, and the building maintains beautiful public spaces, from the Verses restaurant on the ground floor to the rooftop terrace, where drinks and light meals are served until 11pm. The hotel is named for the 19th-century Québécois poet Emile Nelligan, whose lines are excerpted on the bedroom walls. The one distraction is that the hotel's center atrium can sometimes pull noise from the downstairs bar up to rooms. Still, claiming an enveloping lobby chair facing the open front to the street, with a book and a cold drink at hand, is one definition of utter contentment.
