Stay in the lap of luxury
Rooftop plunge pools, five-star dining, underground access to designer shopping and your wildest dreams come true… these are just some of the extravagances Montréal’s luxury hotels have to offer. They’re located all over the city’s central core and guarantee you an unforgettable stay—and more!

Make your stay iconic
Hôtel Birks Montréal brings refined luxury to the heart of downtown, inside the historic Birks jewellery building that has stood proudly on Sainte-Catherine Street since 1894. Opened in 2018, this elegant boutique hotel blends European sophistication with contemporary comfort across its beautifully designed rooms and suites. Between moments of relaxation at the Valmont Spa, an intimate gathering in its reception spaces, or an indulgent meal next door at Henri Brasserie Française, every detail feels thoughtfully curated. Downstairs, Maison Birks continues its legacy with its flagship jewellery store, making this address as storied as it is stylish.

Clink glasses in gilded style
Smack bang in the Golden Square Mile in Montréal’s downtown, Vogue Hotel Montréal Downtown is a nine-storey property that’s been renovated into a cutting-edge stylish property, with a lobby restaurant penned by star chef Antonio Park that draws the glitterati every weekend. Decompress with room service after a long day, or celebrate a closed deal by clinking glasses on the rooftop terrasse.

Rest like royalty
One night in your plush signature bed at the Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile will make you call this your home away from home. Contemporary and playful in its central spaces, this pampering property adds warmth and charm to its ambiance with Victorian accents culled from the estate of North American railroad pioneer William Cornelius Van Horne. Enjoy French fusion at the renowned Renoir restaurant.

Keep it contemporary
Located right on the beautiful Square Victoria on the edge of Griffintown, W Montréal is a hop and a jump from the hottest addresses on the Montréal restaurant scene. After a relaxing stay in your edgy modern room, do a little pre-gaming at Tbsp. onsite, or just meet a friend for a casual drink in the bustling lobby bar before a night on the town. For an even more unforgettable evening, head to the Vinyl bar, which promises a refined experience centred around a record collection of 3,000 albums.

Soak up the real feel of Montréal
This Old Montréal gem masterfully bridges past and present. Built into a carefully restored 18th‑century grey‑stone building, Hôtel William Gray delivers a distinctive experience defined by world‑class hospitality, striking views, and enduring style. Dine on the rooftop terrace overlooking the Old Port — with summer fireworks as a bonus — or unwind at the spa. After a rejuvenating multi‑jet rain shower, step out of your deluxe room for a stellar espresso at the onsite Café Olimpico, an offshoot of the beloved Mile End institution.

See the sights from up close
Luxury in the exciting bustle of the city center lives at the Renaissance Montréal Downtown Hotel, where your sleekly designed guest room is just the start: the open-concept lobby was inspired by local art and is a lovely place to hang out and enjoy a glass of bubbly; or ride the elevator up to the stunning Terrace R Montreal (open most of the year), featuring a full bar, bistro kitchen. You can see the whole of downtown from up there!

See a new side of Old Montréal
Perched at the eastern extreme of the Old Port, the glorious Hyatt Centric Montréal provides incredible views from its rooms and rooftop restaurant of the St. Lawrence River, Jacques-Cartier Bridge and Biosphère on Parc Jean-Drapeau. Relish the cushy paradise of its beds with a sleep-in, before enjoying lunch at Cartier Arms, a British pub run by the acclaimed team behind the beloved Burgundy Lion.

Soak up Art Nouveau style
Sitting pretty atop Place-des-Arts metro station smack-bang in the middle of Quartier des Spectacles, Honeyrose Hotel Montréal will woo you with its luxuriously designed central spaces, from the lobby to the restaurant to the ballroom with direct view on the festivals below. The rooms were designed in Art Nouveau inflections, with tasteful touches of dusty rose and every desirable amenity imaginable.

Do business in style
You couldn’t be better placed to conduct business in Montréal than at the gracefully redesigned Warwick Le Crystal Hotel, located right in the centre of the financial district. The Bose sound system and bespoke all-natural cosmetics included in your mountain-view suite (complete with private deck) will make you feel right at home.

Relax to the max in a grand graystone
Behind a magnificent 19th-century graystone façade in Old Montréal, Hotel Gault hides a completely contemporary décor featuring sophisticated sleek lines, smooth surfaces and a relaxing approach to minimalism. Take a load off in this calming environment, surprisingly protected from the bustle of the neighbourhood right below. From the flawless amenities (like heated bathroom floors) to the graceful service, this is a true haven of peace.

Bask at the foot of the mountain
You can bring your beloved pooch to visit La Belle Ville thanks to Omni Mont-Royal Hotel, a luxury property downtown that’s open to pets. It’s at the very foot of Mount Royal Park, too, ensuring the most picturesque morning walks! Abundant natural light streams into the loft-style rooms and suites, and don’t forget to stop in to Alice Bar in the lobby for a quick drink and a session of people-watching.

Relish a colourful stay right downtown
You’ll know you’ve arrived at Hôtel Le Germain Montréal when you see the bright colours of its façade. It’s as strikingly festive outside as it is sophisticated and sober on the inside — the suites are decorated in peerless elegance, with monochromatic whites, grays and lots of black. You’ll sleep like a dream in the bespoke linen sheets!

Get an eyeful of Old Montréal
Housed in a beautifully restored heritage building, Hôtel St-Paul on McGill offers a modern and serene interior, with regal jewel tones and plush textiles like velvet and leather. Each floor offers exceptional views of Old Montréal and downtown, meaning your suite will be as beautiful to look out from as it is to look at.

Gaze upon all the attractions
Literal steps away from Notre-Dame Basilica, Hôtel Place d’Armes is at the heart of Old Montréal’s most entertaining district, a block away from La Grande Roue de Montréal.The hotel itself is a busy social spot, with restaurants and a rooftop bar that are beloved by locals as well as visitors. Celebrate to your heart’s content before sinking deep into one of their cloud-soft bed.

Enjoy the high life in Old Montréal
The terrasse atop Hôtel Nelligan has been a bona fide hot spot for the Montréal business set since the day it opened over two decades ago. The food is delish, the drinks fantastic, and the vibe outstanding! How perfect, then, to have a room ready and waiting for after, in this luxury property perched on Old Montréal’s stylish Rue Saint-Paul.
