Start us off with an overview.
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, feels delightfully inviting and residential.
What’s the crowd like?
You'll rub shoulders with a crowd of 30- and 40-something locals having lunch or post-work drinks.
Consistency is key. Do you get the same vibe from the rooms?
The exposed brick walls in the lobby extend upstairs to the rooms, where earth tones and dark wood furniture offer a cozy, plush feel.
Most important detail: the Wi-Fi. How is it?
Take advantage of the strong free Wi-Fi and make this your remote office.
What's the food situation?
Breakfast isn't free, but you can start the day right for less than $20: a fresh Montreal bagel topped with smoked salmon and cream cheese, spiced breakfast potatoes, a little salad, and strong coffee. The hotel also has not one, not two, but three restaurants: Méchant Boeuf, a sceney and fun high-end steak and burger restaurant; Mama C, a modern Greek restaurant; and the rooftop Terrasse Nelligan. In-room dining serviced by Mama C and Méchant Boeuf mean that order room service feels just as indulgent as dining out.
Are there any details that stood out to you during your stay?
The ladder-style shelving in the bathroom is a cute contemporary touch. The vast rooftop terrace is amazing, with a huge local following for its views (rue Saint-Paul and Notre-Dame Basilica on one side, the Old Port on the other), and cocktails, including a house cocktail that mixes peach purée, peach schnapps, orange juice, and sparkling wine.
So in a nutshell, is it worth it?
Yes, undoubtedly. Set on one of the city's best shopping streets in the middle of Old Montreal, Nelligan is a gold-standard hotel with stunning views from its crown-jewel rooftop deck.
