Montreal hotels

A vast feeling of happiness permeates Montreal.

It has got multicolored skyscrapers, a historical area and a lot of public

 places providing entertainment. For eight months

 of the year it is cold and white. Decorated with snow, the willow trees near

 the ponds are absolutely stunning, and snowy

Parc du Mont-Royal is a frozen beauty. Montreal celebrates a number

 of events with motley festivals which include ice sculpting,

 barrel jumping, skating, culinary competitions, light shows, pop concerts

 and a free breakfast at dawn. You can explore

 Montreal on a bike; there is a day of free entrance in the museums

 and even complimentary buses to take the travelers from one place to another.

Hotels there remind of cheerful hostels and luxury inns.

 Rooms have rustic spirit like Russian style wood-beamed ceilings and

 small fireplaces. In the morning, your breakfast will include

 chocolate croissants and omelets. There are warm

 bus stops like little cabins. Christmas in Montreal is spectacular – the magically

 white buildings, the street lanterns and the merry Christmas trees,

 the piles of snow, ice skating at the Old Port, basically enjoy the glorious Canadian winter.

Montreal is terrifically romantic. After all, it is the city in

which Elizabeth Taylor married Richard Burton with such passionate,

 intensity and turbulence. Fool! –she said to him on the

 set of Cleopatra in 1961 –  “Don’t you see now that I could have

 poisoned you a hundred times had I been able to

 live without you!” Montreal was the city in which their sophisticate and

 debonair romance started with white flowers adorning the beautiful hair of the bride.

In case you are in the mood for love, you can cuddle in the

 botanical gardens, especially the wonderfully relaxing

 Zen garden where there are butterfly houses with hundred of living

butterflies, which fly around and sometimes perch upon your

 shoulders. The most generous of Montreal hotels serves afternoon tea

 in the spring, featuring blood orange marmalade,

petites fours, fresh fruit and the world best teas. In some Montreal hotels,

 visitors get a complimentary glass of wine served with cheese

in lobby bar, while listening to live jazz on Thursday night. If you are

 looking for sweets for your sweet – you can get cupcakes,

 or treats by the local chocolatier, with cardamom, honey and pepper.

 In the bath complexes, you can swim in a pool with jets and a

waterfall, there is a steam room smelling of eucalyptus oil, or you can nap

 in a sling-back chair in the hallway. You can trek the small mountain,

 called Mont-Royal and experience the twilight after the sunset.

In some of the streets you can forget what year it is – they carry the

spirit of the Old World and transfer you to the 18th century.

Carriages pulled by horses roam Montreal, and the buildings are really

old-school. On the main square you can buy posters of Montreal.

The kings of bongo gather in warm Sunday mornings in the

Parc Mont-Royal for an amazing percussion show and mercilessly

wake up the whole city. People roll out of bed to be present,

and never complain. In the afternoon it’s a tradition to stop by and lie

 flat in the grass together with everyone else.
