The easternmost part of Westmount is also arguably part of downtown Montreal, but... politics.
Westmounters are a funny bunch. They're adamant how they're not a suburb, yet when given the chance to prove their urban bonda fides they insisted on de-merging.

Obviously the reasons for that aren't primarily related to urbanity vs suburbanity, n'est-ce pas?
Hmm... and in a stunning reversal of events, it turns out the anglophones were the true separatist all along! Dun dun duuuun!

I find Westmount to really be it’s own thing separate from downtown. Westmount even have it’s own « main commercial street » with Sherbrooke street from Westmount parc in the east to Decarie in the West.
Westmount as a whole isn't part of downtown, but Greene Avenue, Westmount Square and Ste-Catherine just west of Atwater certainly is, in my books. It's like a much (much) more low-key version of Yorkville.
Westmount is pretty much the Montreal anglo equivalent of the in-town favoured quarter of Toronto, centered around Yonge and Avenue Rd. So a bit of Yorkville, Rathnelly, Forest Hill etc.
