Travelers looking for suites with antique furniture and plasma-screen-TV-equipped, marble-encased bathrooms can alight here for $300 to $3,750 a night. A bit pricey, non? "Our guests don't ask the price, they ask for the square footage," sniffs the hotel's directeur-general Guy Luzy. If price does matter, try the Hotel Gault (514-904-1616), a minimalist gem where classic 20th century fixtures and furniture are set against bare white, oak or hot-rolled-steel walls and concrete floors. Tucked away on a quiet Old Montreal street, the Gault's design aesthetic is so gaunt that a visitor can barely make out the insignia by the front door. Rooms are $170 to $435."
I am holding a reservation for three nights at Hotel Gault for our 10th anniversary. TripAdvisor has Gault rated #1. I usually agree with their results but will revisit this issue. Any concurrences with the above findings? Any recent stays at either or both properties? Recommendations? Thanks!
