Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Palace Royal

A soaring indoor atrium with balconies overlooking a tropical garden, swimming pool, and hot tub lends a sense of drama to this family-friendly hotel. Its eclectic design with large, ornate rooms featuring antique gold accents makes use of everything from Asian styles to art deco. The rooms have views of either the Old City or the atrium; some rooms on the seventh floor and up have a view of the St. Lawrence River.
