Food & Wine


Dining in Montréal and Stratford

While in Montréal, Québec, Canada, in August 2016, my husband, Frank, and I stayed three nights at Le Square Phillips Hôtel & Suites (1193 Place Phillips, Montréal; 866/393-1193, www.squarephillips.com). It’s located within walking distance of the Old City, the old port, downtown and major museums. 

Our king studio had a full kitchenette and a dining area for four. High ceilings and tall windows made it feel even more spacious. The rate of CAN236 (near $181) per night included tax and a large Continental breakfast.


Memorable
Marrakech

In order to attend the wedding of my brother’s son, Andy, I traveled to Marrakech, Morocco, with my sister, Nancy (another ITN subscriber), and her husband, Bob Gatland, along with their son, Kevin, and his wife, Julie, during the last week of October 2016.

We spent three nights at the pleasant Palais Sebban (43 Derb My Abdellah Ben Hssein, Rue el Ksour, Marrakech 40000; phone +212 5244 40226, www.riad-palais-sebban.com).
