Vogue Hotel Montreal Downtown is a nine-floor, 142-room hotel at 1425 Rue de la Montagne, in the heart of downtown's entertainment district and rated 4.5. It is part of the Curio Collection by Hilton. The position is lively: Sainte-Catherine Street is one minute away, Crescent Street two minutes, the Underground City two minutes, McGill University five and the Bell Centre seven. Peel metro station is five minutes on foot. The hotel has YAMA Restaurant and YAMA Bar plus Cafe Bazin, a 24-hour gym and a top-floor fitness center, and spa services including in-room massages and a top-floor Spa Suite. Wifi is free in all rooms and some public areas, and covered valet parking is charged daily with an electric car charger. No pool is listed. Rooms come with one king bed or two doubles, in Superior and Deluxe categories, with studio suites, suites, premium suites and presidential suites above them, plus an accessible room with a bathtub. Pets are allowed in specific rooms, up to two, for a fee per stay. Check-in starts at 4 pm and check-out is at 11 am, and early check-in and late check-out carry fees.
What to expect
The Vogue positions itself as a stylish city hotel, and the location draws guests who want to be close to Crescent Street's bars and restaurants, the shops of Sainte-Catherine and the Museum of Fine Arts nearby. The spa suite on the top floor is a distinctive feature, as is the choice of in-room massages, which suit a long weekend in the city. The hotel is a good choice for couples and for friends travelling together who want to go out in the evening and walk back.
Practical advice
Because the area is lively, ask for a higher floor or a quieter room if you are a light sleeper, especially on weekends and during the summer festivals and Grand Prix weekend, when Crescent Street is at its busiest. The Underground City is a two-minute walk, which makes winter stays easy, and Peel and McGill metro stations give access to the orange and green lines. Check the rate details for parking, breakfast and the pet fee before you book.
Who it suits
Couples, shoppers, nightlife fans and business travellers who want a stylish downtown base. It is less suited to families who want a pool, to travellers looking for an old-town atmosphere or to anyone who wants a quiet residential location. Old Montreal is a short metro ride or a walk of about twenty-five minutes. If you are travelling in winter, the covered link to the Underground City makes the walk to the Eaton Centre and the metro easy, and in summer the Crescent Street terraces are a short stroll away.
Ask the hotel about the Spa Suite booking arrangements before you arrive, because spa availability tends to be limited. The property was formerly known as the Loews Vogue, which is useful to know if you see older references to it online.
