Something Old, Something Bold: Hotel Godin, Montreal

Gwyneth Paltrow slept here. So can you if you’ve got $200 – $500 Canadian. At this great rate, the Hotel Godin in Montreal is very affordable for US and European travelers who want something hip, splashy and sassy. It’s a boutique hotel, a designer hotel, a 4-star hotel, and a lot more for a lot less than you usually pay for all these amenities.

It’s a beautiful pair of buildings located between downtown Montreal and the Plateau district. One was built in 1915 (the Edifice Godin); the other opened early this year (the Contemporary). The lobby connects to a terrific, quite spacious in-hotel gym. But the rooms are the big whoop with huge king-sized beds, Egyptian cotton sheets, 27″ TVs with flat screens, Internet access, spa robes, downtown views, and bathrooms with all kinds of cool fixtures.
