Sheraton Centre Montreal

I had a work trip to Montreal for a few days and tried out a few of the properties downtown, the first was the Sheraton Centre Montreal. My flight there was from Seattle to Atlanta on Delta One and then regular Delta first class on a small plane from Atlanta to Montreal. The new Delta Lounge is open at Seatac and I have to say it is even more impressive then their lounge in Atlanta. Their push in competition against Alaska Airlines is clearly evident in the magnificent space, attentive staff, and spa.

The flight on Delta One on a 767 was wonderful, flying across the country in a lay flat bed is a huge upgrade to regular 737 trips.

I had stayed at the Sheraton Centre Montreal years earlier and nothing much had changed. It is a massive hotel right in the heart of town and easy walking distance to all of the sights in the city.

The gym is quite large and there is also a beautiful indoor pool. I was given a very nice welcome gift, but the highlight of the hotel is the amazing Club Lounge on the roof. I sat in there and did work for a few hours since there is coffee, tea, and snacks all day but the views are outstanding.

A great option in Montreal, but definitely a busy and large hotel, so if you need something quieter, the nearby Le Meridien which was my next stay might be preferable.

Le Meridien Montreal

I had a work trip to Montreal for a few days and tried out a few of the properties downtown, the second was Le Meridien Montreal. Much smaller then the Sheraton, Le Meridien is downtown with a more boutique feel.

The staff was amazingly friendly and welcoming. The styling of the hotel and the room are trendy and quite stylish, my corner room had a beautiful outlook up towards Mount Royal. The only downside was that the gym was very small, but there is so much to see just outside in Montreal.

Amazing staff, great location, and perfect choice if you want something a little quieter then the busy Sheraton.

Montreal Sheraton Airport Hotel

I had a work trip to Montreal for a few days and tried out a few of the properties downtown before opting for the Montreal Sheraton Airport, since my flight was at an obscene 5:00 am.

The Montreal Sheraton Airport Hotel had a great pool and good gym, not too large but adequate for an airport hotel stay. The nearby location to the hotel was perfect for a morning flight, and since Uber does not go to the hotel but they can drop off at airport hotels, that meant I could use Uber as well.

I had a quick drink in the lobby bar but it was a brief stay. The suite I was upgraded to was large with two bathrooms and a separate living and bedroom area.

A great but brief stay.

Westin Puerto Vallarta

Another Westin Puerto Vallarta trip, this time upgraded to a junior suite. The staff and property were all amazing as always, and the pool has been freshly re-tiled.

A great stay as always, and Angel in the Royal Beach Club/ Club Lounge is still the best!

The Sheraton is closer to town but still does not compete, and the W and St. Regis are great, but another 45 minutes out of town so perfect if you want a quiet time in Punta Mita, but the Westin is a good mix at only 15 minutes to town but still in the quieter marina area.
