Celebs' favorite hotels & restaurants
It is true that such celebs as Clooney, DeCaprio, Pitt, Barrymore and others have stayed at the Vogue, and Thornton at the Omni. However, several have also stayed at the Inter-Continental and at the several 'boutique' hotels located in Old Mtl.
Movie stars filming in the Mtl area often rent a house in the wealthier sections of Mtl (Westmount, etc) as Scorsese is presently doing. Some less well-known producers have bought condos and houses in Old Mtl, and local celebs will often rent a suite at Le Germain to entertain 'the ladies'.
As for sports celebrities visiting Mtl, the Major League Baseball teams reside at the Sheraton Center, while the NHL hockey teams reside at Le Chateau Champlain, co-owned by Habs' legend Serge Savard.
If you want to bump into a celebrity during dinner, the place to be is usually at Le Globe, Le Blanc, Moishes or Buena Notte. During the daytime, several can often be seen (during the summer) having lunch/drinks at one of the several bistros located on Crescent street.
For a night out, i've spotted several at Wanda's and at Solid Gold.
As well as which celebs enjoy 'hobbying' while in Mtl, well.....i'm certain many of us have heard many stories from some of the lesser-known ladies in the Mtl hobby scene. One agency being regular used for such 'encounters' is very well-known as being prominently advertised in the local french paper. What is hillarious about all this is that very rarely will you ever hear of a celebs/athletes calling up ladies in the high end. Most of the times, these wealthy hobbyists will prefer paying the cheaper rates. It's no surprise hearing from many of the ladies that the cheapier clients are usually the wealthier ones.
