We’ve stayed at some of the best hotels in Europe – the Hotel Le St James is clearly in their league. The hotel is small and sophisticated. The lobby has the air of a gentleman’s club. The two suites we had for three nights were magnificent – large, comfortable, and decorated in an old world charm. The service was impeccable.... more

I am very critical of hotels, and this one, surprised me. I have nothing but glowing things to say about this hotel. It was first class all the way. The location was superb, the concierge was fantastic, the room exceeded expectations. Everything was impressive. Stay here, it's expensive, but worth it in the end. You will have great memories!

Wow. A truly wonderful hotel in Old Montreal. Worth every penny; the service and staff alone make this a winner. Add in fabulous rooms, especially the suites and this is not just a great find in Old Montreal, but a great place period. Even traveling with an infant, our stay was easy and enjoyable. The staff (all of them from... more

If you like European grand hotels ( Connaught/Claridges in London, Ritz Paris) you will appreciate the St James. Not a chain hotel but very personalized service. Name usage very impressive. Beautiful rooms and amenities. Efficient service. more

The location is very convenient, close to everywhere in Vieux Montreal. I stayed at a regular guestroom, which doesn't have a bathtub -fine by me-, and the decor and cleanliness was impeccable. The toiletry was Molton Brown and was very enjoyable. My room faces an extremely small garden surrounded by other rooms, thereby lacking sunlight. It was a disadvantage because... more

Le St. James is expensive for Montreal, but we felt it was worth every penny given our travel style and tolerance of paying a bit extra for convenience and comfort. We booked Le St. James hotel as a last-minute choice based on a positive review in the New York Times. We did our same-day booking online at the hotel's web... more

Disapointed I didn't have a bathtub in the room. When I asked the front desk they said there were no other rooms available, though I really doubted it. The shower was great but there was no bench in it. Shower curtain was too small and water ended up all over the floor. Service was excellent. Watch out for additional charges... more

Fabulous hotel and a great location. I stayed in Hotel Gault last year due to the rave reviews on this site. What a disapointment, totally over rated. We went back to Le St James last week, What a difference. The service was friendly and efficient. we had a suite which was large and well furnished, huge bathroom with walk in... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for the long weekend in January. We requested that the concierge recommend a few restaurants for us for dinner while we would be there. Alain e-mailed us a good amount of choices, with comments about each, and booked our final choices. All his recommendations were wonderful. While at the hotel, our stay... more
