This boutique hotel consists of two connected buildings, both thought to be built between 1830 and 1840. Don't think that means that the Nelligan is old and musty, however. The hotel's exposed-brick and stone walls hint at its lengthy history, but it provides all the modern touches that guests expect in an urban hotel, including wireless high-speed Internet access, multiline phones, and a minibar in every room. Down comforters, terrycloth bathrobes, evening turndown service, daily ice delivery, and windows that open onto the streets of Old Montréal ensure guests' comfort. A wine and cheese reception is offered daily, and the on-site restaurant, Verses, serves French fare in a hip and trendy setting.
