WASHINGTON – U.S. News and World Report has ranked Montreal’s Ritz-Carlton for the second year in a row as the best hotel in Canada, citing its stylish decor and amenities including a greenhouse and a French restaurant from celebrity chef Daniel Boulud.

Rosewood Hotel Georgia in Vancouver, which features an indoor saltwater pool and multiple dining options, was ranked No. 2, followed by the Trump International Hotel and Tower, 65 storeys high, in downtown Toronto.

Properties in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal took eight of the 10 spots in the American publication’s 2015 list of top Canadian luxury hotels.

Included in the ranking were Fairmont Pacific Rim and Loden Hotel, both in Vancouver; Four Seasons Hotel and Ritz-Carlton, both in Toronto; and Hotel Le St-James in Montreal.

Outside the three big cities, Auberge Saint-Antoine in Quebec City and Sonora Resort on B.C.’s Sonora Island also made the cut.

U.S. News and World Report said the 10 hotels “persistently wow travellers” with upscale amenities, top-notch service and “a sense of individuality.”

Visitor reviews and expert opinions were among factors used to compile the list, it said.
