"You'll bask in an amber glow from the exposed brick walls as soon as you walk into this welcoming greystone building in Old Montreal. The lobby, with its earth tones and chocolate leather armchairs, might even make you want to light a cigar. The exposed brick walls in the lobby extend upstairs to the rooms, where earth tones and dark wood furniture offer a cozy, plush feel. Hôtel Nelligan is undoubtedly worth it. Set on one of the city's best shopping streets in the middle of Old Montreal, this is a gold-standard hotel with stunning views from its rooftop deck. At the restaurant, you'll rub shoulders with a crowd of 30- and 40-something locals having lunch or post-work drinks. Out-of-town guests, meanwhile, feel more established." - Isa Tousignant, Todd Plummer
