Montreal Nitelife Travel Highlights #4:

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

highlights4

With Spring Break in full effect, Montreal Nitelife Travel just had their biggest Spring Break Party Weekend. We hosted several schools with their Spring Break Party Weekend In Montreal, traveling from Southern Ontario and from Maine. Everything ran smoothly from the scheduled chartered buses to the hotel accommodations and the nightlife/entertainment activities in Montreal!

By adding more staff this weekend, we were also able to handle our steady number of groups traveling to Montreal for Bachelor Parties and Bachelorette Parties. A new package, the PAY-AS-YOU-GO package allows travelers to pick and choose what they want to do while they are here in Montreal, AND which people are involved in certain activities. It’s really helpful to group leaders and the Montreal Nitelife Travel staff!

Montreal Nightlife VIP Agent #1:

“My job was to help out with the go-karting and paintball activities for some of the Canadian spring break students, and of course my usual BP/BPe groups. I had a group of eight down on a Bachelor Party staying at Le Crystal Hotel, a really nice hotel. They had dinner on Friday and hit up some gentleman’s clubs VIP style the rest of the evening. Saturday was Casino and Supperclub night with them enjoying VIP tables at Buona Notte. “

Montreal Nightlife VIP Agent #2:

“I helped out with college students as a central Downtown guide making sure everyone knew where to go shopping, eating and of course nightlife. I had a group of girls in for a Bachelorette Party. They did 281 on Friday and Saturday they did the Spa thing and then went to Globe for dinner. I saw them later on dancing at Rouge. Good times.”

Montreal Nightlife VIP Agent #3 (Mr. Experienced):

“Here’s a first timer for me, I had clients in from Nunavut, which is next north as you can get for Canada.  A few things we didn’t know about Nunavut: no street names, just a number, and the postal codes are similar to Santa’s (H0H 0H0). Nice guys. I also had a group of girls that did 3 dinners, 3 clubs and paintball all through the PAY-AS-YOU-GO package. I also partied with some returning NYC clients during the week. We had dinner at Taverne Dominion and hit up Velvet in the old port. I also escorted them to Sugar Shack by Au Pied De Cochon last week, which was very cool!”

Looks like we’re gonna keep the Montreal Nitelife Travel Weekend Highlights!

mtl_nitelife

With the steady emergence of Montreal Nitelife Travel’s Trip Builder, we are able to keep our Montreal Nitelife Travel guests super happy. Our Trip Builder allows partygoers to select all the options they want in their package when taking a trip to Montreal. At the same time, they can remove certain items in order to budget for everyone!

Montreal Nightlife VIP Agent #1:

“OK, I had three groups in town. Two were pretty much taken care as they had major Montreal daytime activities and had simple-planned evening including dinner at Montreal’s supperclubs and bottle service after dinner.

Now my third group was a bunch of ALL-STARS. Met them at the lobby bar at The W Hotel. We did an INSTANT round of shots to help kick off the party weekend. They wanted the bar scene, so we headed over to Crescent Street and hit up Happy Hour at Newtown and Thursday’s. The evening turned into clubbing time quickly and they walked over to Light Ultra Club to finish off the nite with VIP entrance, guestlist and table reservation. Saturday they had dinner at Queue De Cheval, walked over to Wanda’s and then hit up St-Laurent Blvd for some Montreal Nightlife action at Ivy Nightclub and Le Rouge Bar. Sunday, they wanted to see the Plateau so went for coffee at Café Olympico and stuck around til lunch at the one and only, Schwartz’s Delicatassen. Awesome group.”

Montreal Nightlife VIP Agent #2:

Hey Hey, so I had four groups to take care of. Two groups were booked on the couples’ escape and only required my meet-n-greet on Friday evening. One couple was staying in Old Montreal at Hotel Place D’Armes, so most of their planned events/outings were in the Old Montreal area, including dinner at Gibby’s steakhouse and then checked out the Highlights Festival at the Quays of the Old Port. The other couples’ group (two couples) were staying at the Hilton Bonaventure, went for dinner at Milos on Friday, and I escorted them to La Croissanterie Figaro on Saturday Morning (I learned about this place through a cute girl I used to date and she worked there part time… I think every waitress ever hired has to be like movie-cute… because they all are). Saturday they checked out the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

My party groups hit up Milsa on Bishop, the bars below Ste-Catherine on Crescent such as Hurley’s and Brutopia and then took a gorgeous SUV stretch limousine to the Casino of Montreal. I also had one bachelor party take over the VIP section of Club SuperSexe with more bottles and ladies than in the rest of the club!”

Montreal Nitelife VIP Agent #3 (Mr. Experienced):

“Have you ever been to the Scandinave Spa up at Mont Tremblant? How about trying to tie that into a Montreal Party Weekend package? Wow, I sure didn’t think I could have them up there all of Saturday and back in downtown Montreal for the Olympic Gold Medal hockey game. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. Friday we went to dinner at Garde Manger and then had bottles at Santos Lounge. Saturday morning they somehow woke up on time and we brought them sandwiches from Olive & Gourmando. SUV rentals up to Mont Tremblant where they ski’d with afternoon passes and hit up the spa in the evening. Now that’s what I call hitting up Montreal with class and style!

Montreal Nitelife’s Weekend Review!

Montreal Nitelife Travel Weekend Highlights:

pw_shot1

Hey everybody!

Hope you had a wicked mid-February weekend.

Montreal Nitelife Travel was kicking it all over Montreal for a BIG PARTY WEEKEND:

Montreal Nitelife VIP Agent #1:

“I had several groups in town, and we partied with them at several venues. For my Montreal Bachelor Party group “FEB20”, our guests were staying at the Quality Hotel, had a large group dinner at Firegrill (with our VIP reservation & discount package).

The highlight of our night was the VIP treatment at Chez Parée and no lineup access at Light Ultraclub, where we had bottle service setup and ready for us by the time we were escorted to our table area.

Clients were extremely happy. My other two groups were happy too. A flawless party weekend!”

Montreal Nitelife VIP Agent #2:

“My largest group of 12 (seven girls, five guys) took some serious planning. Two birthday celebrations for this Montreal Party Weekend group “FEB19/20”, so we had two nights to make it rain. Friday night we went to Tonic Club Lounge, threw it down big time… Bottle service in the VIP booth and no lineup access for all 12 Montreal Nitelife partygoers.

On Saturday during the day, I had the guys bar-hopping on Crescent and Bishop Street to watch the Olympics while the girls went shopping with out Underground City discount cards.

They had dinner all together at Cibo & Vino on Saturday night with discount and reservations, and then I took them over to Ivy Nightclub on St-Laurent Boulevard where the remainder of the night is a blur! The tab would have been massive, but Montreal Nitelife hooked them up. Had they gone on their own, I doubt they would have had the same Montreal VIP treatment and service. Great group, lovely clients. Dinner at C&V was my highlight.”

Montreal Nitelife VIP Agent #3 (Mr. Experienced):

Friday I setup some skiing and snowboarding at Mont-Saint Sauveur with lift tickets and discount Montreal/Saint-Sauveur transportation. I had everyone back at the Westin Hotel (group of 8 NYCers, mid 20s professionals) wayyyy before midnight, and then I took them to dinner on St-Laurent at Globe, where some stayed the entire night, others strolled on up to Rouge and Koi Lounge. We ended the night at A Gogo’s Lounge. Perfect St-Laurent Blvd night.

Saturday night, my other group had dinner at BU wine bar, then hit up Macaroni Bar with bottle service and no lineup access. At 1:30 am, I swung by The W lounge to checkup on another group who were staying at the W hotel. Everything was perfect there, so I ended my night at Time Supperclub, where I partied with another Montreal Nightlife VIP Host and her group of nine girls from Toronto. They were money, so much fun.”

And that’s what a call A Perfect Montreal Nightlife Experience!

So you’re walking around in Old Montreal and want to have a glorious lunch featuring the freshest bread in town with stunning sandwich ingredients…

Hey guess what, you’re ordering at Olive + Gourmando!

Hip, modern and critical acclaim has this place pumping out cold sandwiches and hot plates with force.

Off the Hook yo!

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

off_the_hook_webAnd fittingly so. 

Off the Hook is Montreal’s tribute to urban youth culture.

While selling a bunch of street-wear including LRG and FreshJive, Off the Hook doubles as a popular art gallery for local, national and international artists.

Art shows often take place inside its walls, as well as advertisement for anything similar.

Anyone who wants to see the word on the street has but to climb up its bass-bumpin’ steps to stand above the sidewalk.

And yes, Air Yeezy’s have made their way to Off The Hook, located at 1021A Ste-Catherine St W (upstairs of Roots).

As though it fell from the sky, Montreal’s Adidas store shouts urban cool with their retro and classic collection of sneakers.

Their apparel features both limited edition pieces (by way of designer Jeremy Scott) and Diesel Jeans in a mega-collaboration.

You’ll find the zip-ups, watches, socks, sweatshirts and all the other urban-sports gear you can think of.

Continuously reinventing itself as the brand with the three stripes, make sure to have cleared your credit card when you step foot in Montreal’s Adidas Originale Boutique.

Found at 1238 Ste-Catherine W.

Classy done right at Montreal historic Ogilvy’s

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

f1010010_webOnce one of the four major department stores on Ste-Catherine, this surviving Montreal institution is one of the most cherished and high-end clothing markets in the city.

Still stuck with tradition, a bagpiper continues to strut around the store announcing the noon hour and special events.

Ogilvy houses the likes of Boss, Louis Vuitton, and Burberry and other posh labels. 

Located on the corner of De La Montagne at 1307 Ste-Catherine St W.

How else would you want to spend Saturday night?!
