The mid-range L’Appartement Hotel is a good value for anyone seeking residence-style accommodations in the heart of Montreal. It has a surprising number of on-site features for a budget-friendly property, including a continental breakfast included in the rates, a fitness center, sauna, and a large, heated rooftop pool. The property also has guest laundry facilities, meeting space, and a parking garage. Its 126 suites are not especially memorable, but they're clean and spacious, with full kitchens and private balconies. Still, decor does lean toward dated, and bathrooms are on the small side. Rates are attractive for a central Montreal hotel, but travelers seeking lower downtown rates could consider the Hotel St-Denis.

Located on the edge of Old Montreal, in a restored historic building, the Hotel Le St-James is welcoming boutique hotel with classic style that attracts both tourists and celebrities -- the latter, in particular, are musicians performing at the many nearby music venues. Here, the grandiose decor of a 19th-century bank building combines with modern updates for a visually eclectic aesthetic: The marble lobby is ornate and impressive, while the XO restaurant and bar is somewhat club-like with its ambient LED lighting and colorful modern seating, surrounded by an ostentatious double staircase and mezzanine level. The 60 rooms are traditional in style, and most have luxurious marble bathrooms and classical decorative details like Corinthian columns and tufted leather stools.

Location is a big draw for the Best Western Ville-Marie Hotel & Suites, which is situated in downtown Montreal, next to McGill University, and adjacent to the shops, cafes, and shopping centers of Saint-Catherine, one of the city’s largest commercial districts. The heart of downtown is just a short walk away. There's a Lebanese restaurant downstairs as well as a lunch cafe, popular with locals who work in the area for a quick sandwich or Wi-Fi. The large rooms are possibly in need of a mechanical update; some guests have complained of noisy plumbing. Overall, though, it's an affordable and well-situated option for those who aren't looking for a distinctive aesthetic experience.

This all-suites hotel is located in the Latin Quarter, a lively area in Downtown Montreal, in a 1920 Art Deco building that once operated as a parking garage. The 50 huge rooms (starting at 800 square feet) come with full, modern kitchens and sleek, contemporary decor -- but the renovated warehouse feel isn't for everyone, and some guests have complained of lingering quirks. Don't expect a typical hotel experience, as there are no services whatsoever (no fitness center, no restaurant on-site, no business center), only a rooftop terrace with great downtown views, and three event spaces.

Le Centre Sheraton Montreal Hotel is an enormous upscale property that draws mature business travelers and tourists seeking reliability and convenience. Set in downtown Montreal near scenic Place du Canada, this 825-room hotel is the second largest in Montreal and offers a small indoor pool, tons of event space, and a classy lobby bar. Rooms are comfortable and equipped with large work desks, and some include access to the Club Lounge, with skyline views and free evening hors d'oeuvres. However, the hotel charges for extras such as Wi-Fi and even access to the fitness center for guests staying in some room categories.

The 36-room, two-and-a-half-pearl Auberge St. Jacques is a bit of a mixed bag. There’s no denying that the rates are attractive for a property offering clean, freshly renovated rooms, free parking, and a location by a metro bus stop. Rooms are spacious enough with cheerful, contemporary decor. But no restaurants or attractions are within walking distance, and there's no breakfast or even coffeemaker in rooms. It also is located in a somewhat grimy commercial district, and management advertises "couples-oriented" rooms available in four-hour blocks. If more amenities and a location closer to attractions and restaurants are essential, Hotel St-Denis and Auberge Le Pomerol are reasonable, small-hotel choices without paying much more.

The Fairmont Queen Elizabeth is a 950-room luxury property in the heart of Montreal’s downtown core. Although some have contested the price increase since the 2016/2017 renovations, the new design-forward rooms, tasteful mid-century furnishings, and elegant open spaces are hard to fault. With a restaurant, cocktail bar, cafe, pool, spa, fitness center, and business hub all on-site, it can feel like a city within the city. The quality of each of these facilities is such that one might find good reason to never leave the hotel at all. Although priced similarly to the nearby Le Crystal, the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth is unrivaled when it comes to style, facilities, and overall attention to detail.

The 56-room LHotel Montreal is an upper-middle-range property fusing the past and present. Housed in a 19th-century bank in Old Montreal, the hotel's crown jewel is its collection of contemporary art, including works by Botero and Warhol. A continental breakfast is served in the lovely Winter Garden and there's a trendy lobby bar for cocktails. Rooms are colorful and include flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges, but the blend of old-school fabrics and modern art can be jarring. There’s a small gym and in-room massages available, but the hotel doesn’t have a spa like the nearby Le Place D’Armes Hotel & Suites.

Le St-Martin Montreal Hotel Particulier is an upscale boutique property that occupies a high-rise building downtown.
