My Suggested and recommended hotels in Toronto – see reviews on TripAdvisor:
Sheraton Centre. Great location across from Nathan Phillips Square and very close to Toronto’s Eaton Centre, shopping mall. Few blocks west and you’re in Toronto’s hip Queen Street West area (and not far at all from the AGO).Fairmont Royal York (this hotel hosts my favorite brunch in Toronto)Hyatt Regency on King Street (in the Theatre and Entertainment District)The Drake Hotel – if you like the cool factor, this is the hotel for you (check out the live music listings)Park Hyatt in Yorkville (Yorkville is the posh area of downtown)The Chelsea Hotel in the center of the action near the Eaton Centre and Dundas Square (within walking distance from the AGO)Ritz-Carlton for the luxury travel crowdShangri-la Hotel. Ditto.Holiday Inn Express downtown – centrally located, moderate, clean, breakfast includedCollege Backpackers hostel in the funky Kensington Market neighbourhood – for the young and frugal.The Only Backpackers Inn on the Danforth – hostel in the Greek Town area of Toronto, near the subway
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.
