The most sumptuous is the Hotel Le St-James (514-841-3111), which was fashioned out of a 130-year-old merchant-bank building in the Old Montreal district. Travelers looking for suites with antique furniture and plasma-screen-TV-equipped, marble-encased bathrooms can alight here for $300 to $3,750 a night. A bit pricey, non?
