...exciting and different from London, Paris, Rome." The Rialto (starting at $263 a night) is tailored to that kind of visitor. Poland's first boutique hotel, it opened last year as an alternative to the other five-star hotels and has since won acclaim for its spare, Art Deco decor and excellent cuisine.

Once ensconced, set out to sample the food in one of North America's great dining capitals. In the preen-and-be-seen category is downtown's Cavalli (514-843-5100), where sumptuous nouvelle cuisine Italienne is served in a hot-pink and wasabi-colored decor best described as Felliniesque.

Owner Kerry Simon, a master of this affordable style, originally had two stores...
