The staff are generally very congenial and attentive, though we were disappointed by the misinformation given to us by the travel desk about local museums (i.e. hours of operation). The hotel's restaurant, XO, has a very strange sense of decor (almost fake-sophistication) and the enormous letters "X" and "O" bizarrely stand in the center of the dining space. The food... more

My wife grew up in Montreal, we return frequently and have stayed in a good many of the top hotels. Friends who live in Montreal advised that the best in the city is the St. James. We found it to be exactly that. First rate in every respect. You will not be disappointed. Best restaurants? Toque - 2 minutes walk.... more

My husband and I just came back from our long weekend to Montreal where we stayed at the Hotel Le St. James. What a great experience! From the moment we arrived we were greeted by our names. We were given a Junior Suite that was absolutely beautiful and appreciated being escorted to the room and having all the amenities explained.... more

I usually do not write reviews, but I thought I must share the pleasant stay I had at the St. James. Me and wife just returned from a 4 day stay (along with our 7 month old). Each and every staff member went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The concierge service was excellent and... more

I agree with the other reviews. this hotel was a true 5 star. The service was the best ever, from the concierge to the front desk. The rooms were great. The beds, pillows, sheets, huge towels, free shoeshines and really awesome shower just made it even better. Their breakfast which was included in our rate was called a continental breakfast... more

Being a very discerning traveler with high expectations, Le St. James did not disappoint. Excelling in all areas, this hotel clearly raises the bar in hospitality excellence. From the moment my door was opened by their valet, to the time we exited their lobby, this hotel intuitively knew how to please us and went out of their way to accommodate... more

I go to Montreal every month and this Hotel is the BEST in Montreal - and can complete with any hotel in the world. The service is European - they know what they are doing. Over the top? Perhaps, but isn't that what you want. Who complains when 2 staff come out with umbrellas when you drive up. Service in... more

We like to be pampered and we were pampered... Dinner at XO restaurant was great the first night despite the initial wait in the lounge. the morning complimentary coffee was a nice touch on the way out. My wife loved the flowers in the public areas (quite unusual and very impressive) I was able to have a smaller version of... more

This is a wonderful small elegant hotel (only about 60 rooms).   The location is great -- very close to Old Town and close to a metro entrance.     The staff is very friendly and gives great service, especially the concierge group.     Our room was quite large.    There are no views from any rooms, which makes the rooms a little dark and... more
