Hotel Bonaventure

Montréal


Once part of the Hilton chain, today the Bonaventure is locally owned and has all the deluxe amenities you'd expect in a luxury hotel. All rooms have on-command movies, mahogany furniture, marbled bathrooms and large working areas – and most have panoramic views of downtown. The highlight is the 1-hectare rooftop garden with heated pool, open year-round.

It's connected to the underground city, so you can move around downtown without braving the cold if you visit in winter.
