She treats newcomers like regulars and makes the chic hotel bar feel intimate and cozy.
This Place Is Perfect For: All kinds of travelers. Because of its proximity to the Financial District, the hotel is suitable for business stays, while the restaurant and prime location make it appropriate for leisure trips. Loews Hôtel Vogue is also family-friendly — so much so that children under the age of eighteen stay for free.
Rooms: There are 142 spacious guest rooms and sixteen suites, all brightly lit with natural light from large windows overlooking the city. Silver accents and gray furniture make for an understated but chic vibe. Past Vogue magazine covers decorate the walls, a nod to the hotel’s fashionable neighborhood. The bathrooms feel luxurious, with marble fittings and Jacuzzi tubs. WiFi is complimentary.
On Site: For the active traveler, there is a fitness center on the ninth floor, along with a lobby coffee machine for a boost of energy.
Food and Drink: La Société Bistro serves French food in a contemporary North American-style using fresh local ingredients. Of special note are the stunning seafood platters and the oyster bar. In true Parisian cafe style, interiors are decorated with wooden bistro chairs, a large hardwood bar, and a stunning stained-glass dome ceiling.
Lux Lounge, just around the corner from the lobby, is an ideal spot for cocktails before or after dinner. Locals and travelers gather around small tables, creating a comfortable and cozy vibe. The wine list is extensive and the cocktails use local ingredients.
The hotel works with several local businesses to give guests a true taste of Montreal without having to leave their hotel room. Mini bars are stocked with Broken 7 brews, the bar serves cocktails made with colas and ginger ales from 1642 Sodas, and Fairmont Bagel is available for onsite meetings.
