2 Best Hotels in Montreal, Quebec

Committed luxury shoppers love the location—across the street from the posh Holt Renfrew Ogilvy and steps away from other destination fashion boutiques on rue Ste-Catherine and the Golden Square Mile. A refurbish of the rooms and lobby between 2020 and 2023 make the hotel swankier still. Style changes include a redesigned two-story floor-to-ceiling glass-and-steel façade and a mid-century modern lobby featuring a suspended mirrored bronze fireplace. On the epicurean front, YAMA, a modern Japanese eatery from Montréal chef Antonio Park serves Latin-influenced Asian plates while French pâtissier Bertrand Bazin makes top-notch French pastries and bistro fare. Rooms boast gently curved, pale pink love seats at the foot of the bed,Vogue magazine cover art, and marble bathrooms that include a separate shower and whirlpool bath. 

Situated on the eastern edge of Old Montréal, the Hyatt Centric forms part of a new six-acre mixed-use development, Place Gare Viger, a visionary complex built around the 19th-century Canadian Pacific Railway hotel, the Château Viger. The hotel itself is housed in forward-looking cantilevered buildings. The lobby, a nod to train stations in the early days of railway travel, features a marble reception desk, squared bronze arches, and a terrazzo floor. Rooms are understated and practical, with walls and furniture in muted whites and grays, including a gallery wall of black and white photos above the bed (s), the one splash of color being the teal armchair and desk chair.
