Frommer's Review

If it weren't for the reception and concierge desks at each end of the lobby, you might think you'd stepped into an exclusive dance club, what with the thumping music, the fire-engine-red glow of the wall panels, and the 3.6m (12-ft.) waterfall. That tone pervades: Employees, male and female, are young and distractingly attractive, and the hotel's restaurant, Otto, attracts a sleek crowd of models, people who date models, and people who pretend they're one or the other. The intimate W Café/Bartini concocts specialty martinis and is open until 3am, while Wunderbar picks up the pace with beat-spinning DJs, also until 3am. Bedrooms follow through, with pillow-top mattresses, goose-down comforters, and 350-count Egyptian cotton sheets. That flatscreen TVs and DVD players are standard in even the basic (called "Cozy") rooms is only to be expected. The W is located where Vieux-Montréal meets downtown.

Facilities:
Restaurant; 3 bars; exercise room and spa; concierge; room service; babysitting

About Our System

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.
