You can have it all in Montreal and if you time it just right, a vacation in this fabled city offers everything from hot jazz to the cool splash of scenic lakes and natural beaches. Once again I decided to do just that. I planned my trip around the 21st Annual Montreal International Jazz Festival, which runs for 11 days beginning the last week of June. Our Air Canada nonstop flight was smooth and as always the food on this airline is a cut above the rest.
Service is friendly and efficient.
The ultra-contemporary Le Germain expresses the best in minimalist design and is one of the city's newer properties with soft atmosphere, warm decor and excellent service. Since the kitchen was closed when I arrived, the very kind young staff offered to bring me something to eat from one of the nearby restaurants. A short time after I made my selection from the takeout menu, a staffer delivered my order to my door. Although it's only a year old, Hotel Le Germain has already won several major awards and it's definitely one of the most comfortable properties I've ever experienced. The cloud-soft bedding alone is reason to book a visit.
