Montreal Staycation Guide
Are you sticking around Montreal for the holidays? Instead of envying your south-flying friends, here are some ideas to make your staycation feel like a fantastic voyage.
1. Hit Mont Royal for some snowy (fingers crossed!) exercise
2. Spend a day relaxing at Le Spa Scandinave. We love that we can see snowy cars from the window by the hot tub.
3. Treat yourself to a night in a hotel to really feel like you’re getting away. Hotel Place d’Armes has a fab Christmas package and we love Hotel Nelligan for New Years.
4. Enjoy a classic afternoon tea at Birks Café, The Queen Elizabeth Hotel or Le Maître Chocolatier.
5. Avoid the usual crowds at Montreal’s amazing attractions, including the Big Bang exhibit at the MMFA.
6. Go see to The Nutcracker by Les Grands Ballets Canadiens.
7. Stay in and curl up with great books, DVDs and wine (our recommendations coming next week!)
