“Style & Finesse

What's not to be said of this hotel... unique, comfort, style. Great staff made the trip easy as can be. Gym, spa, and restaurant. All there for my poor waking hangover. The view is not the highlight by far... looks into an office building, but hey, that's not why I stayed there. Close the curtains and it becomes quite the place to stay.

Great sexy place

it was a great place to stay while i was in Montreal. The place is nice and quiet during the day but at night the lounge and the club in the main floor gets really good. good crowd, good music etc.
The rooms are really nice a little small but well decorated and very sexy. The shower is a clean... more

So many things to love - and to not

This hotel is difficult to review because of all the plusses - and minuses. So first, things to love:
Location. You are right smack between Old Montreal and all that has to offer, and downtown shopping. Easy walking distance between both. It is also close to some awesome restaurants (Og, L'Original, Le Carter, Holder, to name a few.)
Public transportation... more

Good, but not as good as it used to be

I know this hotel well - I stayed here for nearly six months back in 2006/07. The rooms are silent, the beds exceptional, the bar a ton of fun. But I expect more, especially from my most recent (business stay).
1. If you forget your comb, most hotels have a travel one that they will bring to your room no... more

Incredibly modern hotel with fantastic service

We ended our honeymoon at the W. It's a very modern hotel in old Montreal. The check in, valet parking, and concierge services were super easy and friendly. Our room was huge! Very clean and urban, the furniture is very sleek and the layout is very minimal.
No special menu for dietary concerns is my only negative review.
The concierge... more

Somewhat "W" Whatever

Stayed at W Montreal week of April 16th 2012. Overall a pleasant experience and will stay there again.
- Mary, my 8th floor housekeeper ROCKED!!!!!!
- Alex, the ambassador was AWESOME- he has no idea how his angelic face made me feel calm INSTANTLY after being caught in the student protests.
- The blue/grey-eyed night time ambassador (sorry I didn't... more

Amazing experience

This is a great hotel - modern and funky with great service. The rooms are uniquely designed but still very clean, comfortable and relaxing. The open concept bathroom may not work if you are travelling with someone where you want privacy but overall the design is very interesting. I would definitely stay here again.

Truely Wow Experience Again

I am glad that I chose W Montreal this time when I came back to Montreal. My camera broke last time when I stayed in Montreal due to my own fault so I was unable to take beautiful pictures of this hotel but this time I came back with a better camera and this hotel have not aged a bit... more

Sadly not as expected - Fluke

We have been staying at the W Montreal at least once a year for the last 6 yrs and for the first time were not impressed.
Most of the issues had to do with the
- We had challenges with a clogged toilet on 2 occasions,
- the room was not cleaned properly and bed not properly made.
- the... more

Grand

Loved everything about it. Great place for young people who can afford the luxury.
Lobby is loud on weekend nights with the club and lounge on-site, so not the right place if you're looking for a quiet stay.
Everything about the room was fantastic! Would definitely stay here again.

Great all-round

Stayed at the W last week. It was fabulous and I would definitely stay there again. The staff were all young and very friendly (bar one receptionist) and helpful. I couldn't fault it if I tried!

On my any given visit, they are still the best

Business traveler here who got put in a room above the in-hotel night club. Woken up from 1-3 every night.

Liked it, but really small and really packed and really really expensive :p

niiiice

Solid decent hotel. We liked it that they have rooms that can accommodate 3 gentlemen ;)

excellent service au bar, drinks delicieux et hors de l'ordinaire. beaucoup de choix

God Service, affordable. The girl was not hot though

The girl was sooo maughty! And everything was included, and a special rate after I told them my horrible experience the day before. Leaving Montreal in a few hours, but a repeat whenever I come back here

The bar is the most cozy and beautiful place I ever seen for a nice 5@7. Lounge, confortable, nice cocktails and scotchs. A bit pricey but the place worth it.

Very very nice place, good musical and drink

One of my favorite hotels. Super modern W design with a great nightlife. The staff is very nice and the bartenders are great.

Cool Girls worth a repeat

Great hotel, well decorated. The lounge area is really good at night to party and have some drinks. rooms are very sexy with a clear glass bathroom in every room. Perfect for a couples getawayNext time i go to Montreal I will make sure to stay at this hotel again.

I am at the Plateau lounge for an evening birthday party and it is gorgeous here. Spacious and beautiful. Try the $1200 bottle of Dom Perrignon.

This is not just my mainstay place to lay my head for the frequent business trips I've been taking to Montreal for the past 13 months, but it's also one of the two W Hotels (the other being W Chicago Lakeshore Drive) which I use to judge every other Starwood property by.From Karyne welcoming me as the Commercial Sales Manager and inviting me to the SPG Elite drinks (and organizing a surprise... more

Never stayed in the hotel, but used my SkySpa dollars in the spa downstairs. The facility is small, but I had a great massage and pedicure. the staff is attentive, the service was great, and I liked that it was small, as it was nice a quiet and calming.

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous. Wonderful service, clean rooms, and interesting lay-outs. Not really sure how I feel about the bathroom situation, but the waterfall shower was really nice.

Business trip

Over the years I've stayed in many of W Hotels properties around the world. W Hotel Montreal is no different. Stylish (though not always practical), comfortable, and great location. Service is very personable and always delivers. One issue I had with W Montreal is that there is a nightclub/bar on the premise that is open up to 4 am every Wednesday. I can certainly appreciate a good bar scene... more

I was forced to make a last minute trip to Montreal, which I was a little stressed out about, but it ended up being an amazing vacation!  My room was gorgeous, very spacious (but dark) with an open bathroom.  The bathrrom had a separate shower and tub, but I only used the shower.  I only had a slight issue with the rainfall shower, as I would have preferred a higher pressure, and with the... more

My husband and I travel a lot and stay at a lot of hotels.We booked what was the next to "cheapest" (at over $400.00 it's not really cheap, is it?) room they had.  We were just staying two nights and did not plan to spend too much time in the room so we figure so long as we had a clean room with a king size bed we would be all set.When we got there we were cheerfully told that we had been... more

This is the worse W I've stayed at and I've stayed at a lot of them.First huge mistake let's just get it out of the way: from 3-5pm there is no bar open. They have 4 bars and not one of them is open. Are you kidding me? First, this is supposed to be the "W Living Room" vibe. Second, This is Montreal - a 24 hour city where people want to get a drink. What a joke - such terrible biz!It was hard... more

Plateau lounge: good, but could be better.  Montreal is definitely in need of better places to get a nightcap, and this certainly misses the mark by NY standards.  The music was forgettable and the bartender had no idea what vodkas they served, but otherwise, it's fine.

Average W Hotel.

This hotel exceeded my expectations in many ways, most of which had to do with the great service. After one night of staying in a very petite room, we were upgraded to a VERY large and luxurious suite for the rest of our 6 night stay. the double sinks and soaking tub in the bathroom were a blessing. The bathrobes were a slice of heaven. After a few days, we found out that the W offers free... more

The staff here treats their guests amazingly. As a Diamond member, my girl friend and I were upgraded to a two-story loft! We were there during a gay pride parade day/weekend, so I think they assumed we were together. Pretty funny... we had to take turns sitting downstairs so the other could shower in the transparent shower right next to the bed upstairs. No worries, there was a lot to do... more

I was recently in Montreal for a days worth of work and decided to stay at the W as I love this hotel chain. If you've never stayed at a W, it's a boutique hotel that is part of the Starwoods chain.  They're all pretty modern, chic and most importantly clean.Upon arrival I was greeted by multiple people before being checked in.  When I went to check in they upgraded me to a larger room.I was... more

A very chic hotel to stay at in Montréal.  As one of many boutique hotels à Montréal, the W lives up to its reputation.The room was huge and had a separate shower, bath tub, and toilet.  Bonus for having 2 sinks and a HUGE mirror so that I don't have to fight to primp in the morning!  Huge flat screen television that pivoted so it could face either the bed OR the "living room" area.  The room... more

It is an upscale hotel but at budget prices. The W Montreal is 12 miles from Pierre Trudeau International Airport. Local attractions include Old Port of Montreal, Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and the Olympic Stadium & Tower.The W Montreal is very sleek modern and clean. It has a fun upbeat young atmosphere. The only down side to this is if you ask for a wake up... more

Truthfully the hotel is the W. A very calculated experience. That's a good thing, of course. Unfortunately, they have a terrible restaurant at this W. Book a room, but stay out of the restaurant if it is still "Otto" when you arrive.

Stayed here for one night in early January. Checked in quite late on a Sunday night. Too bad the bar wasn't open, a friend had told me the bar there is great! Booked a Wonderful room through my Starwood points. The room isn't that big, but a decent size. Well-decorated. Modern & chic. Bed was really cozy & comfy. The shower in the washroom is clear glass, not much privacy - if that's what... more

I've stayed at probably 30-40 Starwood properties worldwide, but this was my first W experience.This is a hotel aimed towards young people. It is trendy and hip, with three (yes, three) bars/lounges/clubs on the premises. At night you have to pretty much flash your key card to get past the velvet ropes and into the hotel. I'm young but wasn't in a clubbing mood the weekend I visited so I didn't... more

If you're wondering what the W stands for, it stands for WICKED AWESOME!Planned a trip to Montreal for NEW YEARS '09, taking advantage of a 2 for 3 night deal. The person at reservations failed to give me the free third night, but one of the Managers called me the next day and offered me and my girlfriend complimentary massages. This is exactly the type of service that you can expect from the W... more

Absolutely recommend to any one staying in montreal

Best Experience Ever!!!

Service staff were very kind and friendly. good bar selection; nice to hang out at at night. Highly recommended.

Decadence in a Hotel

We have stayed here twice and always look forward to staying at any W, but especailly the W in Montreal. Great customer service, fantastic martinis in the lounge, modern and luxurious rooms, and great location! A stone throw's away from China town, Old Montreal and Downtown Montreal.

staying here on points for our babymoon/annimoon for 4 nights. got upgraded to the fantastic suite. interesting layout with the open bathroom to the bed and tv area. not really feeling the blue/teal floor to ceiling curtains. too ikea for me. typical modern w hotelish decor...usually i'm not into the super modern hotels but this was a fun experience. really enjoyed the big sofa/lounger/2nd bed... more

We had a great stay for 3 nights over labor day weekend. The hotel was close to everything and the staff was super friendly. Facilities were very clean and contemporary. The only issue was the thin sound barrier between our room and the next through the adjoining door. Our lovely French speaking neighbors were up way late talking very loudly which eventually turned into some noisy passionate... more

Nothing special...

Hotel is centrally located. Easy to get around. The hotel staff was rarely available for assistance for recommendations, assistance or directions. They were a bit snobby. It could be because we didn't speak French. Plan on being sell-suffiecent of you stay here.

It's quite a shame to give a W such a low rating, because normally I absolutely love going to the W Hotel lounges/bars for drinks but this particular location, not so much unfortunately. Went here while staying in Montreal, with a few friends to get drinks (or at least attempt to) one night at the bar. I will say, as all Ws tend to be, the place was decorate immaculately and the women's... more

montreal

this was my favortie trip and i would go again

Location, great staff, contemporary room

The W was centrally located for my experiences in Montreal - can walk or take the Metro with ease; the rooms are contemporary and clean; and the staff are very helpful, courteous and friendly. I stayed at the W last summer and had a positive experence so I returned again this summer (and will return on my next trip to Montreal as well).

I booked the W fairly last minute, based on locations and reviews. I was a little concerned as the W in SF is a little tatty and gets mixed reviews. I needn't have worried - the W in Montreal was outstanding. I think my husband and I managed to use every service available except the spa during our quick 2 night stay - room service, DVD rental, being chauffeured in the hotel's Acura, using the... more

It would come highly, highly recommended by myself if I were to be asked. I was was at total ease because the customer service was second to non, there wasn't enough they could do for you. It was an excellent value for the money, mind you your site was close to 40% cheaper than booking through any other means. Expectations were completely met....thank you... more

Funky decor, amazing service. My brother, his fiancee, and I had an amazing stay at the W hotel last winter in Montreal. I was blown away by the amazing decor that they had from the lounge to the rooms that they had. Good thing that my brother and I had different rooms -- the showers were see through, which would've been quite awkward.Other than that, beautiful place to stay in.

Perfect Stay

We could not have been happier with the W Hotel Montreal. My wife and I went to celebrate our 30th Birthdays - It was outstanding, from the friendly greeting as we arrived, to the professional (yet young and hip) front desk staff, to the concierge staff who knew so much that you would have thought they designed the city. The location is, without a doubt, the best that we saw while there. ... more

I usually don't Yelp about hotels, but this one was cool. Not because it was a W nor because of the rooms as I found them to be a bit odd. But because of the Otto's restaurant and the Plateau lounge. So first about the rooms. Since I had convinced the guys to join me in Montreal, we doubled up in two rooms. The rooms are relatively large with nice appointments, but the bathroom is weird. There... more

The W Hotel bends over backwards twice to make you happy.  [There might even be a McFlip or twist in there as well.]As a birthday present vacation from Denver, Colorado my girlfriend booked two nights for us here.  Nothing but great service from checking in, friendly bar tenders, incredibly helpful and sincere concierge service and even friendly and personable valet.The W had hip and chic... more

wowWowWOwWOW!The W Montreal is the definition of decadence. From the decor, to the service to the locale, everything about this hotel is spectacular. We had a large party, 12 to be exact, spending New Years in Montreal and the staff at the W, especially concierge Mireille, made our trip worthwhile. The hotel is located in the smack center of downtown with a connection to the underground city.... more

I absolutely love the ambiance of the plateau lounge.  That was the only part I've been to at this hotel.  The drinks are a little over priced but then again you are in a part of a Hotel.  You should expect it.

I just returned from a short 3 day / 2 night trip to Montreal, and of course, I stayed at the W.  As usual, the desk staff was great and the concierge was friendly and helpful.  Speaking of the concierge, I had a rezzy at a very popular restaurant that I needed to move at the last minute.  The concierge called on my behalf and rapped with the restaurant host in French and said something about... more

W label - again overestimated

the more I stay at hotels like the W - the more I am underwhelmed. The overall hotel is very nice and your room will be as you expect. The W Montreal falls short on basic amenities listed above, though not always important, can be received at similar or greater caliber properties nearby --- the Fairmont, the Westin -- among other chains. I still prefer a smaller run boutique hotel. My room... more

We stayed at The W hotel in Montreal for the weekend. Loved it.We stayed in one of their funky "Mega Rooms" where the bath/shower area is open to the bedroom area.It sounds funky but it really works. Makes the space feel so much bigger and fun being able to watch the tv from the bubble bath.Of course like all of the W hotels you can hardly see anything in the lobby because of the dim... more

As title suggested, I had a VERY satisfied stay at this property.  Arrived on a sold-out weekend (which is very common at this property), from the moment that I stepped in, I was instantly "in-Love" with this hotel.Check inThere were only 2 clerks so there was a bit of line but it is not as bad.  There are signature W drinks, Apples, and some cheesecake bites for you to enjoy during certain... more

"filthy unsanitary rip-off after being repeatedly trashed by partiers"overall:even with a free night and free breakfast, it was still a rip-off. nevertheless, i can't deny how great the location and staff were (but i give more credit here to the city and people of montreal than to the starwood hotel group).pros:1. location - walking dist from ste. catherine and vieux montreal2, transportation -... more

I stay in hotels all the time and as i am planning my next business trip, i find myself thinking back at my stay here in june/july.Best hotel ever! I wasn't even SPG Plat yet (gold at the time) and I got bumped up to a suite quickly and easily. The room was beautiful & staff extremely helpful and wonderful."Living" here totally made the difference during my extended stay in Montreal. The only... more

The W is really cool!

Very cool operation, smooth, and enjoyable, at times it felt like they tried too hard to be cool and sophisticated, the dim "csi" like lighting was neat at first, but the emphasis on it became a little tiring after a while. The location was excellent and easy to find, we really enjoyed our stay.

W Montreal

W is an experience. The decor, the staff, the anything/anytime attitude make this hotel unique.

When they say there motto is whatever, whenever they mean it. Whenever I've traveled to Montreal before I have always stayed at great B&B and never considered staying in hotel. With the W Montreal I had even higher level of service as well as a bathroom that is the same size as my bedroom in SF. We stayed there for six night and would go back again!If you travel for business, want to splurge or... more

Loved it. Get a Mega room and hang at the bar on a Saturday night. Good music most of the time. They charge more for higher bandwidth so we ate all the fruit they put out reception. What is this world coming too? Great bathroom - it was bigger than most hotel rooms. Makes you want to renovate your house when you get home. Will go back for sure.

For someone who spends about 60-70 nights a year in a hotel for business,  I can say without a doubt as a North America traveler that this is my favorite hotel no questions asked.The rooms are amazing.  I love the layout of the room so much that some day when I finally build my own loft, I will model my master bedroom area off of the hotel room.Service is the best of any W I have stayed at... more

There is no place I would rather stay in Montreal. I can't describe the feeling of a nice shower after a long flight, overlooking my room and the entire city. Not to mention the fantastic food, booze and company in the hotel Bar and lounge. I won't stay anywhere else when visiting! The W hotel prides itself with impeccable service, but the Montreal location outdoes itself. It's truly a... more

I am a big fan of Starwood hotels and have decided I want to work for this company someday (for the discounted room rates of course, natch) and now am a HUGE fan of the W hotels after staying here.  I was with a friend who was a platinum card holder and they treat you like absolute royalty, it was awesome.  We stayed in the fantastic suite and the absolute coolest part about it was that you get... more

I'm yelping well after the fact but the hotel was so fantastic, I feel it's warranted. I'd also be shocked if things have slipped at all.I must qualify by saying we got the Extreme Wow Room. Lucky me, to be traveling with a friend who was flush with Starwood points. It's was extremely wow worthy. Two stories of gorgeous design, two huge tv's, a dining area for 8 or 10, several bathrooms, a... more

Woohoo! I love the W! The staff here are trained to do ANYTHING AND ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING FOR YOU! And I can't get enough of their Bliss amenities. Which hotel provides you with cleansing gel for your face I ask you, let alone a Bliss product! We got upgraded to a super suite on our stay here. Long live platinum SPG status! It was phenomenal. We had the his and her sinks, and an ultra sexy tub... more

The W Montreal is one the nicest W hotels. The complete design and layout works very well. Good reception area, nice lounge, good restaurant, some of the sexist hotel rooms around. The Wow suite is wow and the Fantastic suite is fantastic. If you are a fan of the Mondrian in LA, Royalton in NY, or The Cliff House in SF; then you will appreciate this hotel. The whole package here is much better... more

Hotel Bar Fave it!

Sexy underground lounge for trendy tourists or local mtlers who want to dance to euro-music compliations of the W Hotel chain. Hot spot for happy hour or Thursdays.

Random night-spot Fave it!

I've only been here once, and I think it was a Wednesday night in the middle of winter (read: not packed with frosh - no offense), and I had a great time. I have heard mixed reviews since then - most people seem to hate it. Maybe it was the pre-drinks beforehand, or the bottle of vodka we ordered when we got there, but it made me feel like a rockstar. But really, if you've got good music,... more

Excellant Stay!

Excellent hotel. Staff very friendly & helpful. Would certainly stay here again. A little expensive, but worth the money. Close to public transportation and easy trip into the shopping and tourist areas.

After a six hour flight from San Diego to Montreal, I just want to fall into a wispy cloud and relax. The chic W Hotel in Montreal was a welcome relief  like a wispy cloud, a good outcome after enduring a napless flight and a taxi ride in rush hour traffic.Located in the heart of Montreal, sits W Hotel, discreetly established between the office buildings. From the W Hotels I've visited, all the... more

As far as a W hotel goes, this one is nothing special. Still, nothing special here is pretty darned good. They follow the whole "Whatever, Whenever" attitude and it is pretty much as you might expect it to be. They are dog-friendly as well. Of course, this being Montreal, everyone is 100% bi-lingual so if you don't know you're French, don't worry. The "club" bar on the main floor is your... more

Best hotel I ever stayed at.Great staff - staff are all beautiful :) .  front desk made sure a staff check the room before we entered. Great cheeky decor - The room was extremely spacious.  Great bed. Awesome bathroom.Cons - you can still smoke when I was there two years ago.  So it wasn't that much fun at the bar.
