It's no secret that Montreal is known for its renowned restaurants, nightlife and top spas, and as it turns out our hotel scene is also highly sought after.
Forbes recently announced its winners of the 2023 Star Awards, highlighting the world's best hotels, spas and restaurants, and Montreal scored a spot in all three categories.
The travel magazine sends out "highly trained inspectors," who follow an objective inspection process with over 900 criteria when visiting a facility or experiencing a service. "Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest," Forbes says.
Not one, not two, but four Montreal hotels were recognized and rated by Forbes. So, which swanky Montreal hotels made the cut?
