Set on the buzzy Rue Saint-Denis in the Plateau-Mont-Royal district, this African-inspired boutique hotel is a 3-minute walk from Sherbrooke Metro station and a 8-minute walk from Parc La Fontaine. The standard rooms feature elegant, custom-made wooden furniture and plush fabrics, and come with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, tea and coffeemaking facilities, kitchenettes and balconies. Suites add living areas, while upgraded suites add whirlpool tubs, and the penthouse features exposed-brick walls and a fireplace.
