Hotel Place d’Armes, Old Montreal’s first boutique hotel, combines classic urban chic with the 19th-century architecture of the three historic buildings that house it. Located just steps away from Montreal’s finest restaurants, the Notre-Dame Basilica, the Old Port and the Palais des Congrès, Hotel Place d’Armes is only a short walk to downtown Montreal’s famous shopping and nightlife. Whether you are visiting for business or pleasure, the Place d’Armes’ guest rooms and suites are ideal for the discerning traveler seeking luxury, quality and impeccable service. The Antonopoulos Group’s latest restaurant concept, Aix Cuisine du Terroir, has already made its mark on the North American gastronomic scene with a mention in the New York Times and a spot on the highly coveted annual En route Top 10 New Canadian Restaurants in 2004. Located on the promenade level of the luxurious Hôtel Place d’Armes in Old Montreal, Aix Cuisine du Terroir is above all a restaurant devoted to the enjoyment of local Quebec cooking: offering a blend of delicious flavors and generous portions. The menu, adapted to the seasons, is elaborate, healthy and coveys a love and passion for home cooking. The decor, honored in 2004 by the Montreal’s Commerce Design contest, was the creation of Yves Montpetit from the CAMDI firm: "My experience has shown me that the design is one of the most fundamental aspects of a restaurant’s atmosphere. Since Aix is harmonized with the contemporary look of the Hotel Place d’Armes and its staircase connects it to the bar, we let this atmosphere extend into the restaurant. Not too noisy, or too severe, the style is traditional, smart. Go up to the Aix bar and have a drink in the cozy atmosphere of the lobby of the stylish boutique Hotel Place D’Armes. Enjoy martini creations by our "mixologist" while savoring a little something from our Bar Menu. Come and relax in our completely renovated and expanded lounge bar.
