The 56-room LHotel Montreal is an upper-middle-range property fusing the past and present. Housed in a 19th-century bank in Old Montreal, the hotel's crown jewel is its collection of contemporary art, including works by Botero and Warhol. A continental breakfast is served in the lovely Winter Garden and there's a trendy lobby bar for cocktails. Rooms are colorful and include flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges, but the blend of old-school fabrics and modern art can be jarring. There’s a small gym and in-room massages available, but the hotel doesn’t have a spa like the nearby Le Place D’Armes Hotel & Suites.
