Ester at reception was the most friendly and accommodating and made us feel so welcome and as we stayed here to celebrate my birthday she went above and beyond to make it so memorable , from the beautiful room to a surprise birthday cake. It was our first time at the Lyall, it is a beautiful, elegant and luxurious hotel with impeccable service - thank you for making our stay so memorable, we will be back for sure! ##### Tram Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Casino New Brunswick](https://www.expedia.ca/Moncton-Hotels-Casino-New-Brunswick.h3747980.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, Melbourne](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Langham.h2112.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178245-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Zanzibar-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d4186-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Calgary by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Calgary.h9141.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-friendly Hotels in Spokane](https://www.expedia.ca/Spokane-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d602959-tPetfriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-James-Armstrong-Richardson-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aYWG-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Stendhal](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Stendhal.h972987.Hotel-Information) > > [Alt Hotel Halifax Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Alt-Hotel-Halifax-Airport.h6159326.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hotel Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Hotel-Windsor.h11362.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Hotels in Barrie - Orillia](https://www.expedia.ca/Barrie-Orillia-Hotels-Lake-Hotels.0-0-d6057909-tLakeHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Montmagny](https://www.expedia.ca/Montmagny-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Montmagny.h4538965.Hotel-Information) > > [Dash Living on Prat](https://www.expedia.ca/Kowloon-Hotels-Dash-Living-On-Prat.h3849816.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Clocktower by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Kimpton-Clocktower.h7297.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/lhr/montreal-to-london) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mia/toronto-to-miami) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to New York (LGA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/lga/montreal-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/cun/montreal-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ord/toronto-to-chicago) > > [Bahamasair](https://www.expedia.ca/Bahamasair-Flights.cUP.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/31/flights-from-canada) ### Cruise ### Packages > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [Punta Cana Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana.d601906.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General
