This July 1st will mark Canada’s 150th year. 150 years ago, a group of Canadians, loyal to the Crown, finalized negotiations with the United Kingdom to gain independence. Queen Victoria was a strong supporter. We call her the “Mother of Confederation.”
150 years of an experiment in self governance, Peace, Order and Good Government. So far so good!
Will you come visit? This July will be the most fun ever!

There are many Montreal hotels to choose from, here are some of my suggestions:
The Ritz-Carlton Montreal. No. 1 on TripAdvisor. Luxury hotel from the famous chain. Excellent location on Sherbrooke West within walking distance of Montreal’s shopping and restaurants.Loews Hotel Vogue Montreal. On Rue de la Montagne 5 minute walk to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Also high-end design hotel (not far from The Ritz-Carlton, actually) in the heart of Montreal’s downtown entertainment, shopping and commercial area.Hotel Gault. I actually had not heard about this hotel (and I’m in the tourism promotion world). Came across the Gault doing some research. Looks like an amazing hotel, the kind my wife and I like for brief getaways, so it’s now on my list. It can be pricey though so consider it a luxury boutique hotel. Hotel Gault is close to Montreal’s World Trade Center not far from Old Montreal. Rooms are Lofts, Suites Terraces and Apartments. Le Place d’Armes Hotel & Suites. Excellent boutique hotel very close to Montreal’s Place d’Armes Square and Old Montreal.Hotel Nelligan. Another excellent boutique hotel, this one right in Old Montreal. Charming old world surroundings and close to the Saint Lawrence River.Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile. On Sherbrooke very close to McGill University. Not as high-end as the Ritz-Carlton or the Loews, but quite good. Excellent for business trips as well.Holiday Inn Montreal Centre Ville. Holiday Inn quality. Moderate rates. Not far from Old Montreal.
