Montreal's Place D'Armes : Cozy 'n Cool

Sometimes I want more than just a room somewhere.

Several years ago on my way to the Chic-Chocs of Quebec, I spent an evening in Vieux Montreal at the Place D'Armes Hotel & Suites.

After a long flight from Seattle to Toronto and at last Montreal, it was a welcome space to rest my weary head.

I remember receiving a voucher for a complimentary glass of wine from the hotel's bar, which I took up to my room.

I'd like to go back, next time with my hubby. I notice they have a Passion for Two package that sounds quite yummy. It includes:

Two nights in a luxury room or suite;
Continental breakfast served in the room;
Wine and cheese every evening from 5-7 PM;
Gastronomic dinner for two at the hotel's restaurant, Aix Cuisine du Terroir (service included);
Two, one-hour Swedish massages at the on-site Rainspa (gratuity included);
Chilled Champagne;
Bouquet of freshly cut flowers in your room upon arrival;
Box of chocolates

It's available now through April 30, 2008.

Package for two people starts at $785 plus taxes; extra nights available starting at $165.
