Located on the prestigious rue Saint-Jacques in Montréal, Canada, the elegant Hôtel Le St-James, which opened in 2002, stands proud; a luxurious, yet tiny property with 61 total rooms (23 rooms and 37 suites) that was once a bank.

The 94-room Auberge Saint-Antoine in Québec, Canada artfully blends more than 700 historical artifacts with contemporary luxury to create a sophisticated and comfortable ambience for its guests. Conveniently located steps away from history, the hotel provided us with a perfect base from which to explore the charming city of Québec.

If the Fairmont Tremblant, located in Mont-Tremblant, Canada, was any closer to the mountain, I could have reached out my window and touched it. For skiers, it is a paradise, as it is the only ski-in, ski-out resort, and for non-skiers, has enough amenities to make it perfect in any season.
