Montreal is not only a great city to experience culture — you can hear both French and English spoken in any part of the city — the area is also a booming metropolis and the third largest city in Canada. While some cities boasts of their “underground” cultures, Montreal has a literal underground located in the
downtown area. Far below The Place Ville-Marie, one of the most impressive office towers dotting the Montreal skyline, is an underground shopping mall that features more than 1,600 unique shops, eateries and other businesses. The downtown area also plays host to many artistic venues including the Museum of Fine Arts, McCord Museum of Canadian History, and the Contemporary Arts Museum.
The Downtown Montreal Hotels include
Hotel de la Montagne, which is close to Olympic Stadium and Mount Royale Park. Hotel de la Montagne is a luxury hotel offering the best modern amenities, including private balconies with stunning views of Montreal.
Best Western Ville-Marie Hotel, located downtown in close proximity to Mount Royal, McGill University, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Bell Centre, and the planetarium, offers guests wireless Internet access, a boutique and restaurant, among other amenities.

The downtown business district in Montreal is bustling during the week with people going to and from their jobs. Among the buildings in this area is the
