The core trip is booked, minus one class.
Flights, Auberge, Sunday 7 PM AURA, Tuesday Bota Bota, and all three dinner reservations remain booked. The Sunday Bagel Class was canceled by the provider, so arrival afternoon becomes easy Old Montreal: land, drop bags, light lunch, check in, AURA, then Monarque.
Auberge du Vieux-Port
River-front king room in Old Port. The hotel shopping clutter is gone; this is now the home base.
Tap for detailsThe Bagel Class
The provider canceled Sunday's 2:00 PM workshop. Treat this as a refund/reschedule follow-up, not a slot to urgently refill.
Tap for detailsBota Bota
Couples 90-min Swedish relaxation massage at 9:40 AM, then water-circuit access at 11:40 AM. Lunch at the spa keeps the day easy.

Two travelers: MEERANISHIL PATEL + NISHILA PATEL. Confirmed fare: $366.50 each, $733.00 total.
Tap for budget detailAuberge is home base.
The hotel decision is done. Auberge du Vieux-Port puts the trip exactly where it should be: Old Port, riverfront, walkable to Notre-Dame, Bota Bota, cafés, rooftops, and the easiest no-kids wandering.
Auberge du Vieux-Port
Deluxe Room, 1 King Bed, River Front. Booked through Hotels.com for 3 nights, 2 adults, 1 room.
Total confirmed: $1,181.99 after $33.54 OneKeyCash. Itinerary: 72074139649791.
Tap for detailsNon-refundable rate
The confirmation says the room/rate selected is non-refundable. No refunds for late check-in or early checkout, and stay extensions need a new reservation.
Loose, romantic, not a death march.
JUN 14
Arrival + Old Montreal + AURA
Taxi/Uber to Auberge / Old Montreal. Budget ~US$35–50 each way and 25–45 min. Do not bus this; it’s a couples trip.
Bagel Class canceled Sunday's workshop. Use the freed window for bag drop, easy lunch, and Old Port wandering.
Check in, reset, and grab a small bite nearby only if hunger is real before AURA and Monarque.
Make Sunday 7:00 PM the working plan so Monday stays free for Mount Royal, Mile End, and the rest of the itinerary.
Table Brasserie for 2 after AURA. The Brasserie menu is the right late-arrival fit; Toqué! handles the polished fine-dining slot Tuesday.
JUN 15
Mount Royal + Mile End / Plateau
Taxi up, 60–90 minute skyline walk. Enough nature, not pretending this is a hike.
Bagels, Café Olimpico, boutiques. Vegetarian lunch at Lola Rosa or Sushi Momo.
Either back to hotel or Montreal Museum of Fine Arts if weather turns.
Table for 2 at 7:30 PM. This is the most memorable vegetarian-friendly splurge of the trip.
JUN 16
Bota Bota long spa day + nice dinner
Give yourselves buffer before the booked 9:40 AM couples massage.
Booked for Tuesday morning. This is now the indulgent core of the trip.
Confirmation lists water-circuit access at 11:40. Plan lunch there instead of leaving the spa bubble.
Ask Meera whether she wants an add-on after the circuit; 3:30 would trim the last part of the confirmed water-circuit window.
Table for 2 at 7:00 PM, which is better than a later seating after a long spa day.
JUN 17
Breakfast + fly home
Keep it close to hotel. No heroic last-morning plan.
Arrive around 11:45–12:00 for the 2:20 PM international departure.
Everything radiates from Auberge.
The hotel is booked in Old Port, Sunday now stays near Old Montreal after the Bagel Class cancellation, and Tuesday is anchored by Bota Bota. The map shows airport transfer, hotel, spa, AURA, Mount Royal/Mile End, and the three booked dinner reservations all at once.
The dinner run is booked.
Sunday is Monarque Brasserie after AURA, Monday is Damas after Mount Royal/Mile End, and Tuesday is Toqué! after Bota Bota. LOV McGill, Olive + Gourmando, and BEVO stay as easy vegetarian-friendly backups and daytime options.
Monarque Brasserie
8:30 PM Table Brasserie for 2 after AURA. Easy Old Montreal logistics and the right late dinner pace.
Tap for detailsDamas
7:30 PM table for 2. Upscale Syrian in Outremont with excellent vegetarian mezze potential.
Tap for detailsToqué!
7:00 PM table for 2 after the Bota Bota day. This is the polished final dinner.
Tap for detailsLOV McGill
Modern fully plant-based restaurant on Rue McGill, roughly the cleanest vegetarian-first option near the spa/Old Port lane.
Tap for detailsOlive + Gourmando
Old Montreal classic for coffee, pastries, breakfast, and casual lunch. No reservations, so use it as an easy daytime stop.
Tap for detailsBEVO Pizzeria
Old Montreal wood-fired pizza with vegetarian dishes available. Good low-friction backup when fine dining feels like work.
Tap for detailsBooked base: flights, Auberge, AURA, Bota Bota, dinners.
The trip budget is now USD-first for planning. Canadian-dollar bookings are converted using the May 8 rate of 1 Canadian dollar ≈ $0.732 USD; exact card charges may vary slightly. Bagel Class is no longer active after the provider cancellation, with the CA$176 refund/reschedule follow-up still open.

What changed
The old hotel comparison is gone, Auberge is booked, the Sunday Bagel Class was canceled, Sunday still has AURA plus Monarque, Monday has Damas, and Tuesday has Bota Bota plus Toqué!.
No replacement activity is required. The only open/admin notes are the Bagel Class refund or reschedule, the Bota discount question, and whether Meera wants a body-treatment add-on.
No replacement booking needed.
1. Bagel Class refund/reschedule
The provider canceled Sunday's class. Watch for refund/credit details and only reschedule if they offer an easy slot that does not wreck the weekend shape.
Tap for details2. Ask Bota: 20% massage discount
Since the duo massage is booked for 9:40 AM, ask whether the before-10 AM massage discount applies.
Tap for details3. Optional: body treatment?
Add a post-circuit treatment only if Meera really wants it; this is optional, not a trip blocker.
