Five-star hotels in Montreal

Montreal has only a handful of five-star hotels (with one or two on the way), but the current selection seems to be sufficient for most of the city's well-off visitors.

Basically, you have your "old school" crowd gravitating towards Fairmont Queen Elizabeth, your business and convention crowd (Intercontinental), your younger, design-oriented crowd (W - Montreal), and a mix of all of the above (Hotel Le St-James).
