This grande dame of Montréal has been impressing guests ever since Liz Taylor and Richard Burton got married here. For its 2012 centenary, it reopened after a four-year, $200-million renovation, with only half as many rooms as before and a new set of luxury residences. Rooms are ultraopulent, with classic touches and impeccable service.
You can splash out on the Royal Suite, the largest in the city, if you don’t mind dropping $10,000 a night.
