Hotel Saint-Sulpice sits at 414 Rue Saint-Sulpice in Old Montreal, rated four stars with 108 rooms, nearly all of them suites. The location could hardly be better for sightseeing: Notre-Dame Basilica, Place d'Armes and the Old Port are each about two minutes' walk, Place Jacques-Cartier is five minutes away and Place-d'Armes metro station is also about five minutes. The Montreal Convention Centre is five minutes by foot and Central Station sixteen. What distinguishes the hotel is the suite format: rooms come with a kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator and stovetop, and the suites have a bar-style kitchen with a Nespresso machine, which suits longer stays and families. Bed arrangements include one queen with a sofa bed, two queens with a courtyard view, and king suites, with larger city-view suites of around 783 square feet. The restaurant Cour Arriere serves breakfast, brunch and dinner, and the lobby has a bar and a fireplace. The spa offers massages, facials, body scrubs and in-room treatments, with massages by reservation. Guests get access cards to a nearby gym. Wifi is free, valet parking is charged by the night with limited spots and an electric car charger, and pets are accepted for a fee, up to two per room. Check-in starts at 4 pm, the minimum age is 18, and check-out is by noon.
Why stay here
The combination of kitchen facilities and a prime old-town address is unusual. You can keep breakfast and snacks in the room, return from a day of cobblestones to your own space and still be steps from the restaurants of Rue Saint-Paul and Rue Saint-Vincent. The in-room kitchenette is particularly useful for families with children and for visitors staying a week. Courtyard-view rooms are quieter, a benefit in summer when the old town is busy.
Eating and relaxing
Cour Arriere offers a convenient breakfast and brunch, with the courtyard setting adding to the atmosphere in warm weather, and breakfast is available for a fee. The in-room spa treatments are a pleasant way to recover after a long day of walking, and the lobby fireplace is a cosy gathering spot in winter. There is no pool, so guests who want to swim need to look elsewhere, and the nearby gym access is the substitute for a fitness room.
Who it suits
Couples, families and longer-stay visitors who want an old-town location with extra space. It is less suited to travellers who want a pool, a big hotel's range of services or the Underground City at the door. Check the rate details for breakfast and parking and the pet policy before you book.
