This hotel has the potential to be something very nice, but it is not there yet. Let me start by saying the location is fantastic - more on that later. We stayed 2 nights. The lobby is nice, the bellmen were very responsive and helpful as was the reception and concierge staff (mostly). The Suite 701 bar served us perhaps... more

We just stayed at The Place D'armes over the May long week-end, and I have very mixed feelings over it. The staff wasn't professional as they should have been. For instance, the spa staff rushed our mani pedis because we were the last clients of the day. The bar staff at 701 (the bar in the hotel) completely ignored us... more

Place D'Armes is a beautiful hotel in Old Montreal. We spent three nights there and the location is superb. The staff at the front desk and helping with the complimentary breakfast were very friendly and helpful. We were not able to take advantage of the free wine and cheese as the first evening was just too crowded in the bar... more

After a six hour drive, we finally pulled up late at night to this grand entrance, that's beautifully lit (it felt like we were in a movie). The Valet takes our car, and the bell boy takes our bags.

A very nice, modern, hip hotel in a great location. Was just there for two nights. Umbrellas in the closets, which came in handy since it poured the whole weekend! Booked two rooms. When checking in, one of them was very warm and smelled of stale smoke. Front desk quickly changed us to a better room. Bathrooms are ultra-modern with... more

Spent a wonderful romantic getaway at the Place D'armes last year. In Old Montreal near great restaurants and has an amazing brunch. Probably not a great place to take the kids, but for couples it is wonderful. Rooms are upscale with a great metropolitan feel (redone in the past few years). Have sent several couples here who all loved it.... more

Spent two nights at the Place d'Armes over Labor Day weekend (2005) with five children. I booked the rooms through Travelocity as their rate was $75 (US) cheaper and when I called the hotel, they advsed me they could not match the rate and to book via the internet. I then emailed the hotel (using their "contact us" button on... more

This shady square is located just across from the Notre-Dame Basilica. It is surronded by skyscrapers so it is a peaceful rest area surronded by the busy city. In the center of it is a tall statue, which is typical in most squares. Behind the square is a building that is a copy of the pantheon in Rome. more
