 Recently, in celebration of the hotel’s 10th anniversary, Le St. Sulpice Hotel produced a 15-minute film titled “La Valise,” in which four guests converge at the charming four-star boutique hotel located in Old Montreal.

“We wanted to create something daring and innovative,” said Alexandre Tessier, Director of Sales and Marketing. “La Valise” is but one part of Le St. Sulpice’s ongoing 10th anniversary celebration, which includes a contest with a grand prize worth more than $5,000.

Situated alongside the basilica of Notre Dame in the heart of Old Montreal, Le St. Sulpice features 108 suites, many of them with fireplaces and/or balconies. A favorite of the film industry, Le St. Sulpice cossets its guests with privacy and discretion and an extraordinary level of service that is both polished and respectful.

The expansive suites at Le St. Sulpice are evocative of urban condos, furnished with leather armchairs and upholstered sofas in warm earth tones. Ranging in size from 500 to 1500 square feet, all suites feature a living space and a separate bedroom (or two or three), with desk and fully-equipped kitchenette, including microwave and refrigerator. French windows overlook the garden courtyard or the limestone buildings of Old Montreal. Bathrooms are spacious, with deep soaking tubs and walk-in showers large enough for a ménage à trois.

Amenities include Nespresso machines and L’Occitane toiletries, as well as luxurious bathrobes. Beds are plush and sumptuous – and perfect for coffee in bed, should your partner be persuaded. Newspapers await your perusal in an attached rack outside your door.

A breakfast buffet is served in Restaurant Sinclair. Croissants are flaky, the butter sweet, and the coffee strong. You’ll want to linger.

And in truth, even when it’s time, you won’t want to leave Le St. Sulpice Hotel. As soon as you cross the threshold into the warm and inviting lobby, you feel as if you’re home, the home you’ve always imagined for yourself: the one with a crackling fireplace, the scent of white lotus in the air.

It’s no wonder that Le St. Sulpice is a favorite haunt of film people, as well as the characters of “La Valise.” The joy of a sojourn at Le St. Sulpice is that, at least for a while, you really are at home.
