Traveling to Montreal and can't decide between Hotel L St. James and Intercontinental. Any thoughs?

Only staying for two nights and both hotels look great. Just not sure if St. James is worth the extra $$$. thxTraveling to Montreal and can't decide between Hotel L St. James and Intercontinental. Any thoughs?
The St-James is a nicer hotel if you don't mind paying more. Madonna stayed there when she was in town.Traveling to Montreal and can't decide between Hotel L St. James and Intercontinental. Any thoughs?
I have stayed at the intercontinental. No problems there.


I have never stayed at the St James.
I guess this all depends on what you are planning to do in Montreal. Both hotels have wonderful locations. Though the St. James Hotel seems to be more in the heart of Old Montreal.





So, if you were planning to spend a lot of time in Old Montreal and/or you want the feeling of living in another time, spend the extra cash. But you were planning to go out a little bit (particularly if you were planning to experience the nightlife on Crescent or St. Laurent), go for the Intercontinental.
Firstly, check tripadvisor.com and see what other people who have stayed at either place have to say. But, being a Montrealer, I have to say that there's so much to do in this fine city that you won't be spending THAT much time in your hotel.





The biggest deciding factor, should be what you want to do. If you're the clubbing type, find something downtown. If you want to sightsee Old Montreal %26amp; the areas around it, then choose something there (be warned, we have a bi-weekly fireworks display that's held a stone's throw from there and it gets LOUD (I live on the other side of Mt Royal %26amp; can still hear it)). Personally, I would not stay in Old Montreal because the costs are so exhorbitant in that area and they really do take advantage of tourists.

ABOUT LONDON and the St. James Club hotel????

hello,


a friend and I will be travelling to london next month and we will be staying at the st. james club hotel. is that a nice hotel? how do i get there from heathrow airport? how much is a taxi ride to this hotel?





any other tips about travelling to london would be greatly appreciated!!ABOUT LONDON and the St. James Club hotel????
hey i just answered your other question.... following is the advice from heathrow...





Piccadilly Line (underground) straight to Green Park station.. and the hotel's a 2 mins walk from the station.





This is simple n cheap, a taxi ride will cost you at least 拢30, whereas this comes up to.... just 拢15 at the very max.





as mentioned in the earlier post, you should get a week's travel card (zones 1-3) as this is the best method.. cabs are very expensive and worthless unless you're travelling late at night.





however heathrow aiport is zone 6, so upon arrival just buy a normal day's travel card (all zones)....





London is divided into 6 zones... 1 being the inner most of the city, 6 being the outskirts. you'll be in zone 1-2... so just in case you should get zone 3 included.ABOUT LONDON and the St. James Club hotel????
You can either get a taxi that will cost approx 拢45-55 from Heathrow or take the tube train from Heathrow to Green Park station. You can walk from there. This is the cheapest way. A good resource for travelling to London is http://www.londonvacationguide.com

If that's the one, you're just off Piccadilly, with Fortnum and Mason, The Ritz and the Royal Academy within a few minutes. St James's Street is famous for its Gentlemen's Clubs, including Brooks, Boodles and Whites - and famous particularly in Regency times.





Just up the road (east) is Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square. As the above respondent said, a travel card is a good idea so you can hop on and off buses (also right about the other travel); but Oxford Street and Regent Street are within walking distance. You're very central.

I am booked into Crowne Plaza Hotel St James and I wish to go to Chelsea Football Ground - best route please?

get a tube district line (if your lucky you can get a wimbledon bound one and don't change at earls court) or piccadilly line west bound to earls court then you want a wimbledon bound (south bound district line) tube to 'Fulham Broadway' come out onto the road turn left and Stamford Bridge Home Of Chelsea Football Club The Champions Of England is on the left, good luck and enjoy the game. You can get a 14 or 414 bus from outside The Ritz or Harrods.I am booked into Crowne Plaza Hotel St James and I wish to go to Chelsea Football Ground - best route please?

Have you stayed at the James Chicago Hotel, what did you think about it?

It's a beautiful new hotel. Even if you opt not to stay there (it is quite pricey) have dinner and drinks in the restaurant. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is amazing. Dress to impress!Have you stayed at the James Chicago Hotel, what did you think about it?
I've stayed at the James twice and it's a fantastic hotel. Very slick, modern and an excellent bar scene. It's a tad bit pricey, but well worth it.
