Depends what you are into.

If you like goth/punk/industrial check out Fous Funes Electronique(something like that) on St. Catherines. I loved that place.

Well it really depends on you where to visit. But all I can say is that it's getting quite cold over here...

well i am coming from MN so cold is no big deal. I heard news year can be off the hook so looking froward to that. Just getting out of here for several days with a friend. So bar hpooing and site seeing it is. I have never been there.

A couple of "must see" links.

I'm heading up there also this Thursday!

We ar staying @ La Apartman,
the reason we chose this hotel is cuz
there is no security bugging you and
everyone is really freinldy there.
+ ITs so fucking cheap i could affort to rent it every day for a month no problem!

We havent' decided where we going for NYE but i'm sure itll be a blast like the last couple of years!

ok hotel with the pool on the roof- hotel de la montagne.

weather- wont be so bad for new years eve, its supposed to be 4 degrees celsius. much better than the -46 we saw last week.

As for where to party, the city is insane on new years eve. Tell me a bit more about what you like and i can help you out. are you looking for R&B/hip hop? a chic supperclub? rock n roll?

here is an NYE party we might hit up:

Sander Kleinenberg, DJ Dan, Max Graham @ Bell Center, Montreal, 31 December

U know anything about Techno/Trance/Hard House???

awesoem thanks. Isn't there like a street that is hopping on new years? googling hotels as we speak.

Yeah, downtown Montreal is cool. I've stayed at the Delta Hotel each time I've been there and it was fine. You might also want to check out / stay at the casino.

st. Catherines (SP is fucked up)

they got somanybars on this street and u get this bar hopping pass for like 1- or 15 bux and u can go into all of them with no hastles!

also, INFECTED MUSHROOM is @ ARIA NIGHTCLUB....


whats going on @ motrapolis???

try the w hotel its new and trendy.

i think its around 279 that nite..

W hotel is hot, but it isn't right where the action is. It is central to many things, but you do have to go a bit. It is about 2 blocks further east than the hotel for the Cybernetexpos in the past.

Montreal for new years is cool, plenty of good parties and such. Pick your poison, I am sure you can find it - anything from quiet evening, strip clubs, to raves and more. Old Montreal is a bit quiet this time of year, but the clubs on Cresent, St Catherine, and such will all be hopping. Plus there are a number of special raves and dance parties all over town.

Awesome! Exactly what i was looking for.

I'd recommend either the W Hotel or Hotel Godin. Both are brand new and really beautiful.

As for parties, you can come to my place ;)

Sixxxthsense, good luck getting passes for any of the big NYE parties, especially Celebration at the Bell Centre. If any are still available, you'll be paying like $70 a person.

Awww sheeit dude, Montreal is awesome for new years. It's fucking cold as hell but what a great fucking time it is!

You will have a blast! Stay down by Crescent Street and you can't go wrong!

DH

Abso-friggen-lutely.

rawalex is right.
its just that the w is one of the newer hotels that we have..
i suggest the hotels on de la montage for crescent fun.

Thats definately where you want to go

Either of these by St Catherines? or name a hotel that is? Price is not really a big deal. But i get in on new years so I want to be close after the flight.

Hotel Godin is on the corner of Sherbrooke and St-Laurent. St-Laurent is the main street of Montreal. You'd be within walking distance of all the swanky clubs, restaurants and bistros. Ste-Catherine St is a 5 min walk (downhill) from Sherbrooke.

The W is on St-Antoine and McGill in Old Montreal. Ste-Catherine is a 10 min walk uphill.

If you're planning on partying in the Crescent/Ste-Catherine area, the closest hotels are:

Marriott Chateau Champlain (4 stars) - about 3 blocks from Crescent/Ste-C
Le Centre Sheraton Hotel (4 stars) - 2 blocks from Crescent/Ste-C
Novotel (3 stars) - 2/3 blocks from Crescent/Ste-C
Fairmont Queen Elizabeth (4 stars) - about 5-6 blocks from Crescent/Ste-C
Quality Inn (2 stars) - on Crescent, one block below Ste-C
Chateau Royal (2.5 stars) - on the corner of Crescent/Ste-C

Just so you know, Ste-Catherine St is comparable to Queen St. It's mostly a shopping street. Crescent St between Ste-Catherine and Sherbrooke as well as St-Laurent/Sherbrooke up to St-Laurent/Rachel are comparable to the club district around Richmond/Peter in downtown Toronto.

Dude i owe you. Thanks a ton.

There's only one good hotel in Montreal IMO and it is the Saint-James
:thumbsup

No problem! Enjoy your stay!! :)

And yeah, the Saint James is awesome, but it's far from the area he wants to party at. It's 2 blocks farther than the W.

It's also about a million dollars a night... hehe... when the Rolling Stones were in town, they rented out the whole place!
