Loews Hotel Vogue

This place just keeps getting better and better! i booked a last minute room on Expedia for the Vogue at $ 120/​night. What a deal! The Loews Vogue is my FAVORITE hotel in Montréal. Why is that? Well let’s see…
— Best bed in any hotel
— Best bathroom in any regular hotel room
— Great location — Right near Ogilvys on Mountain St. just off St. Catherine
— Great hotel restaurant — La Societe
— Best front door man in the business
— Quiet rooms with a luxurious feel
The only problem, that’s not really a problem (but might bother some people) is the construction that is happening across the road where the Hotel de la Montagne was and is now a hole in the ground waiting for a new high-​rise. Although they stop working around 5pm, they do start up again around 8am. Good thing the rooms are almost sound proof. But if absolute quiet is your thing, it may be a problem. I am always impressed with how quiet the rooms are given the location so close to the main drag in town, Rue St. Catherine.
The hotel also has an adequate fitness room and they are gracious with late check-​outs when they can. The 9^th floor takes it up a notch in terms of décor and bathroom, but the 8^th floor is about as nice. While the hotel itself is very old, renovations have taken place regularly and the new showers are awesome.
Valet parking is $ 35 per night and there are many shops and restaurants in a short walk from the hotel.

Came here for a 4 day trip. My girlfriend had booked the hotel on a limb. It was a fantastic experience. It is a very short walk to St Catherine shopping and to the bell center (Go Habs). They staff made some of the best food and experience recommendations, the room was clean and had good amenities (the jetted tub was worth every minute).
My complaint, and, know that it is a personal preference, is that the bed was too firm. Other than that I would recommend this hotel and would reserve it again.
Ps… the bar in the lobby serves the tastiest and most deadly old fashioned ever, it is made with smoked maple syrup. And a must after a Habs game or walking Eaton Center.

The beautiful, spacious room, large bathroom and plush king sized bed all contributed to a wonderful 2-​night stay at Loews this past weekend. Of course, this is to be expected of such a high-​calibre spot.
What I was particularly impressed with was the lobby space (free wifi, great work space + desk, great espresso machine) and the impeccable customer service due to a few noisy neighbours.
After being kept up until 5 am from a party down the hallway, our travel companions (who stayed in the next room) complained to the front desk. The staff apologized sincerely, and promptly sent up a bottle of wine and handwritten note to their room, promising they’d monitor noise levels the next night to make sure we got a good rest.
Not all hotels hold up their end when it comes to customer service, but Loews really does. You’ll be smart to make a reservation the next time your in Montréal!
A few small notes:
— Major construction across the road can be heard easily in the early morning– perhaps ask for a room on the opposite side of the hall (facing the back of the hotel).
— As per other Unilocal reviews, we did notice that the walls did little to soundproof our space. We could hear our neighbours quite well (blow drying hair, talking, etc), but it wasn’t so problematic that we needed to say anything.

Love Montréal. Vogue looks good.
And Vogue sounded good, but what sounds good doesn’t always sound great.
I’m talking about sound dampening between rooms. The clearest way I could say it (literally): if I were sitting on the bed in my room and had someone in the room adjacent reading this review aloud… every. word. would. be. easily. heard.
Feeling like another guest is actually IN my room due to the lack of acoustic privacy here is as annoying to me as certain ways of using punctuation.
I pack earplugs for sleeping («just in case,» as every traveler should) however I never expect to have to use them nor turn up my tv volume just to avoid hearing conversations verbatim through the adjoining door. Likewise, when I’d be in the entry of my room, I had an intimate understanding of the fact that it was adjacent to the bathroom of the room next door.
I do appreciate the other aesthetics of Vogue — the boutique feel, the very attractive room, with the huge jetted tub. (The desire for a jetted ice bath was the reason why I’d booked here.) I was not disappointed by the tub nor the ample sized room/​bathroom. The bed linens were acceptable however the towels seemed thin and rough. The roll of bathroom squares («can you spare a (better) square?») is nothing I’ve ever commented on however I will say that I quickly upgraded myself to that box of facial tissue. (The quote is «Elaine» on «Seinfeld,» in case you don’t know your squares.)
The staff was personable and professional. I did interact with management about the room noise. The gentleman was hospitable, but of course, nothing could be done.
On a side note: the bellmen are very intent on opening that front door for you, and I greatly appreciate this attention when I’m encumbered. However when my arms are freely floating and I’m about ready to handle this task myself, reaching for the door, and out of stage right lurches a gentleman, «allow me»… it’s awkward. Not to mention, he startles me! I know this is not an easy line to ride, many would insist that you step up and open that door for them. The hotel is «nice» however this level of formality was not required. Along the same lines… I’d spent a good thirty minutes relaxing in the lobby prior to setting out on my day’s journey. However, I did not feel relaxed. I appreciate a clean glass tables as much as the next person but watching an individual compulsively clean them was a distraction and now, weeks later, interestingly memorable. I remember how it was all I could do not to start timing him. A guest sits in a chair for three minutes, leaves. Table untouched. Start the clock. Here he is with the cloth and spray. Time. Repeat. It felt frantic. It’s a balance and I felt it tipping the wrong direction.
My feelings about the bellman and the lobby housekeeping may seem trivial however having stayed at other properties, I know that a more «seamless» level of presentation can be achieved and I prefer it. It is not for those reasons that I likely wouldn’t stay here again, it is due to the room acoustics, especially bearing in my mind that these other guests were not even being «loud,» they were just going about their regular business. I’d like to be generous with an overall three stars, it was not a terrible stay however it just was not the level of ease and comfort that I would prefer.

Very old school, not modern for the young kids, people here are very nice, service is on point.

I now try to stay only at Loews. I’m not a picky traveller, but I do have standards. Boutique feel (never over crowded), but with the benefits of a well managed organization.

Wonderful hotel. Prime location (intersection of Ste. Catherine and Rue de la Montagne; right across from Ogilvy). Service and concierge were wonderful, especially the doormen! I can’t rave enough about how wonderful the doormen are — it set such an awesome tone at the very beginning of our vacation. Then we went to check-​in, and our 2 dogs were given little dog tags and poop bags/​containers (so thoughtful!).
It’s very rare for me to go on vacation and never want to leave my room, but this was the case. We got a double bed room — 2 queen beds, with couches/​tables to eat breakfast in the morning. Huge, spacious bathroom with marble floors, a stand-​up shower, a jetstream (I think? didn’t get to try it out, sadly) bathtub with a TV right there! They also had a drying lamp, and the mirror was huuuuge with perfect lighting.
There’s also a vanity area to sit and get ready outside the bathroom. The mirror is huge, and there are lights surrounding the mirror. I’ve now decided I NEED one of these in my home.
Beautiful, clean hotel with amazing staff and free wifi? Definitely returning and recommending this place to everyone I know.

I love Montréal so much, and my husband chose this hotel for our honeymoon.
I had no idea where we were staying and I was blown away!
The décor is fabulous!
You are treated so nicely from the moment you walk in. It was never a problem to get a cab, one was always hailed quickly for us. Bed was super comfortable.
I loved the room so much. Didn’t use the mini bar — it’s expensive but there is a Couche-​Tard right down the block. We could walk to the museums we wanted to see.
The room service was fast and 24 hours!
Merci!

Yes, this is a lovely, modern styled hotel with all the amenities. It is fairly well located and fairly recently renovated (though I wish they had not because I much preferred the old world style of the past. This is a very nice place to stay, Mobutu if you are coming to explore old Montréal, stay in old port at one of the small inns or hotels as you will get a much better nose of this fabulous city. At Lowes, I could have been in any city in the world, there was nothing special or different and it is MUCH more expensive than some of the charming smaller places near Old Port.

Need a hotel that is kid friendly, knows your name (mainly because you are there a little too much) and will teach your kid French (maybe an exaggeration).
This is the spot. We’ve gone more than half a dozen times in the past year and they know who we are when we drive up by now, the babysitter at the hotel has worked there for 30 years and is like a sweet grandmother who you just can’t not trust. The hotel suites look beautiful– cleaner than I could ever get a room and very updated.
The bathroom fits a small pack ‘n play– if you are a parent, you’ll understand why that is HOTEL GOLD. I try to stay away from the mini bar, I do, but the prices are reasonable and the salted cashews just the best (I don’t care if that is all in my head, I LOVE THEM, stop judging). Le Societe is the room service restaurant and you may notice there isn’t a kids menu, but fear not, they are amazing and will make you (I mean your child… okay, and me) whatever you need.
The staff is well dressed (I’m not saying the room service guys are really attractive… I’m just alluding to it) and housekeeping is really sweet. When I was pumping after just having my son our housekeeper graciously helped us mid pump and even told my husband how much work that is– I will love that lady forever.
The jet in the large spa tub is a little piece of heaven and if you spring for a suite, you can fit two people into one. Just do it.
The vanity stool is also a favorite of mine because to be honest, I’m a fan of sitting in the morning– standing seems like exercise and that’s not my thing at the crack of dawn. The crack of dawn is what many parents call sleeping in (that’s for those wondering who in their right mind wakes up that early while away for pleasure)
Also, for the kids, Bob the Bricoleur, is hilarious in French. Even if you don’t have kids– have a glass (or bottle, or bottles) and watch it. I promise you a laugh.
As frequent guests we have always been upgraded which, no matter how many times it has happened, always feels like winning the lottery. Also don’t miss the coffee machine in the lobby– better than Tim Hortons (don’t hate me for that, I’m American– plausible deniability or something).

Five stars to the staff, wait staff at Le Societe, big and clean rooms, customer service and location. We stayed for 12 nights for our vacation. Our home basically for two weeks! It made our visit to Montréal very memorable.
I had a reunion with my brother and one of the concierge staff (Jade) gave us a personalize note a half bottle of wine. That was so nice of her. It was very touching.
Kudos to all the bellman, they are all very friendly and nice!
The housekeeping made sure that our room is always clean, and replenish our toiletries.
We will definitely stay again in this quaint hotel.

What a perfect hotel! Magnificent rooms. Excellent amenities. Superb staff. Great location. There is not much more I can say hat hasn’t been said. This hotel sets my standard for what I think a great hotel is.

Stayed during Valentine’s Day for three nights. We arrived at around 6 and our room wasn’t ready. Valet was $ 35 found that pretty expensive. Room was beautiful. Wish this hotel had a room. Hotel was located around many bars and shopping malls. Great location. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

It Doesn’t Get Better. Great service, a bathroom I got lost in and a bed that felt like sleeping on a cloud. What more could you ask for?

This was one of the nicest hotels that I have ever stayed in. The downstairs lobby is very pretty and the rooms are clean, large and nicely decorated. The beds and pillows are comfortable. The rooms have modern décor and include free wifi, which is a great perk considering the price of data in Montréal for people traveling from the United States.
It is also in a great location, located within walking distance of good shopping and good restaurants in downtown Montréal. The bathroom was also large and extremely clean. There are TVs in the bathrooms which was a touch that my husband appreciated.
The service in the hotel was also fantastic and they offer free coffee in the lobby. I would definitely recommend this as a great hotel to consider in Montréal!

Excellent hotel and location…1 star deduction is for the bathroom sink and the front doormen. That’s for the unbelievably annoying bathroom faucet fixtures at the sink! I should have taken a picture… it’s two extremely round metal knobs with no real grip so it’s not the easiest to turn on the hot and cold water at the sink. I can’t imagine if you’re old or have arthritis because you’d have some difficulty turning on the taps. The front door men here are friendly when they are doing their job but when they are not in the mood to work, which was about 30% of the time. That would include smoking, chatting with friends or whoever while you walk in or out and they are standing right there but choose not to open the door and greet you. Seriously? It’s not the Ritz but the hotel is up there and it’s service should match. So change those fixtures and have the doormen pay more attention to guests and it’s a 5 star for this place.
Otherwise:
— excellent location — you are in the best section of Rue Saint Catherines where all the better shopping is located (including an SAQ Signature Store), 5 mins walk from the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts and Concordia University, 10 mins walk from McGill, 5 mins walk from many eateries and bars/​nightlife and most importantly 5 min walk from Peel Station if you are taking the metro, a minute away on Maisonneuve is a 24 hr convenience store «Couche Tard» or Macs as we know it in the rest of Canada.
— rooms are extremely clean and spacious.
— bed and pillows are excellent; soft sheets
— bathroom is very spacious with lots of counter space, tub and a stand up shower with good water pressure
— can be a tad noisy if you are on the street side of the hotel but otherwise quiet hotel
— very friendly and helpful front desk staff
— free coffee and tea in the lobby and in your room; free wifi
— $ 40 flat rate cab to the airport
I would definitely stay here again!

5 stars on everything.

1. Room
2. Service
3. Valet
4. Wi-​fi connection
5. Promptness to requests
6. Location in the heart of Montréal Downtown
7. Knowledge of staff for directions
8. Around the clock assistance.
9. Cleanliness of room
10. Size of the room (Gigantic)
11. Bathroom — Full bath, separate shower, massive mirror, AND an LCD tv
12. Bed comfort + cordless phone.
i have absolutely nothing to critique and nothing to complain about. I loved every minute of my stay here.

My husband and I stayed here during the holiday season and absolutely loved it! From arrival the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Room was stunning, clean, well decorated, spacious, perfect amenities! And in a great part of town for shopping and restaurants. Literally a couple steps from so much. We will definitely be visiting this place again!

Certainly one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in recently. Some highlights:
— Well situated near the western end of the St. Catherine strip (near Crescent St), close to nightlife, shopping, and the corporate center of the city.
— Well appointed rooms, with luxurious bedding, free wi-​fi, plush towels, and a great desk for working.
— Free espresso drinks (high-​end machine-​made) in the lobby.

Smack in the center of Montréal’s downtown district, this Loews is almost everything you could want in a hotel:
The rooms are gorgeous, beautifully decorated open spaces. They provide free wi-​fi (for me at least, I had to accept a charge they waived), a great bed, outlets in the lamp for all your office needs, a coffee-​maker, and most importantly, a TV in the bathroom.
Someday i want a TV in my own bathroom, because I’m tired of having dinner parties and somehow working it into the conversation that I watch TV as I poop. When you have a flatscreen in there it’s just self-​explanatory.
Speaking of the bathroom, it’s huge. There is a large tub completely separate from the shower, which unfortunately leaves a little bit to be desired. However, I do like that they don’t skimp on the towels. There is a person-​sized stack of every type of towel. I like that. It shows trust that I won’t use 7 towels to dry my nether regions and force them to do excessive amounts of laundry. Just like you trust that I didn’t do exactly that, and then carefully fold those towels back into the stack.
Overall, the Hotel Vogue is an excellent place to stay, and decently affordable as well. I will gladly return next time I’m in Montréal, although I’m not sure that they’ll have me back because this review has gone in some strange and unexpected directions.
