THE ROLLING STONES have commandeered an entire five-star hotel in MONTREAL ahead of their gig in the city tonight (January 8).

All 61 rooms of the plush Hotel Le St James in the city’s Old Town– ranging in price from $325 per night to $6,000 a night for the penthouse apartment – have been booked up by the rock veterans, and anyone not part of the band’s party is being barred until tomorrow.

The hotel’s two Royal Suites ($2,500-$3,800) have lavish dining rooms with enormous crystal chandeliers, while the terrace penthouse ($4,000-$6,000) has a dining room and grand piano. The more modest executive suites ($650-$975) boast marble bathrooms. Plasma screen TVs are standard in all rooms.
