Lonely Planet review

Known for its rotating rooftop beacon that illuminates downtown at night, the Place Ville-Marie tower marked the beginning of Montréal's underground city over four decades ago. Its cruciform shape was chosen to commemorate Maisonneuve's planting of a great cross on Mont Royal in 1642. The 42-story skyscraper is home to high-powered offices as well as a chic rooftop bar, Club 737.

The intriguing fountain in the forecourt is called Feminine Landscape (1972) by Toronto artist Gerald Gladstone.
