The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal

A Grande Dame of the city, this venerable establishment first opened its doors in 1912 and retains its original splendour. Guests enter through an elegant winter garden featuring rounded Neo-Georgian windows, leading to the Palm Court, the traditional spot to enjoy afternoon tea by the fireplace beneath painted ceilings. On the upper floors, contemporary touches emerge: from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the modern structure perched atop the original building to the luxurious charm of the suites, which reinterpret the elegance of the Roaring Twenties for the modern era. Another bridge between past and present is the menu at Maison Boulud, which explores the nuances of French haute cuisine.
