Sleek, upscale high-rise hotel with modern interiors and Montreal city views
With a sleek, glass exterior, this upscale property -- aptly named the Hotel Le Crystal -- features great city views of Montreal from 28 floors. Hotel suites take up 12 floors of the building and the remaining floors are occupied by apartments. Neon lights glow from an awning over the entrance. Silver accents and light wooden details in the lobby create a grand first impression. A wall of windows bathes the lobby lounge -- with high-back tufted sofas and lovely chandeliers -- in natural light. Healthy snacks are available at the front desk.
This hotel suits business travelers with its large and modernly decorated meeting rooms, but guests who appreciate luxury services and contemporary designs also stay here, and families can appreciate the pool.

Valet parking is available 24 hours a day, but it can be pricey, so guests often check prices at nearby garages before using it. A Starbucks Reserve cafe offers fresh brew in the lobby.
