21 Best Hotels in Montreal, Quebec

This showcase for 19th-century architecture—think casement windows, exposed beams, and brick—is the gold standard for intimate boutique hotels, attracting A-listers and well-heeled romantics with its mix of old-world charm and modern comfort. In the rooms, the historical architectural features are paired with high-tech gadgetry (like Harman Kardon S3 Bluetooth speakers) and stylish contemporary bathrooms with multi-jet rainfall showers. Accommodation options include hotel rooms as well as lofts and apartments in separate buildings. The hotel also houses two restaurants, Taverne Gaspar and Pincette Lobster Bar, in addition to a rooftop bar in summer.

Site of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's legendary 1969 "bed-in", Le Reine Elizabeth boasts contemporary mid-century modern interiors; a huge market and food hall; a gorgeous pool redo and new spa; and creative meeting hubs, all the while preserving the property's iconic heritage. Indeed, John and Yoko's "bed-in" suite [1742] was carefully restored and enhanced in 2017, with artifacts from the day. Atmospheric Art Deco restaurant Rosélys, helmed by Paris-trained chef Edgar Trudeau-Ferrin, is popular with locals for its posh cocktails, friendly and attentive service, and ever-changing top tier menu. Vegetarians—and vegans in particular—can be accommodated but should call ahead.

At the junction of Downtown, Old Montréal, and Chinatown, Humaniti, a member of the Marriott Autograph Collection, is an uber-modern design hotel and condo construction that opened in 2021. The H-shaped complex consists of three linked glass towers of different heights, housing the hotel and restaurant/bar, condos, offices, wellness options, a bakery, and a grocery store. The hotel lobby, a vision of retro-chic design, features asymmetrical black flooring, canary yellow sofas, rounded accent chairs, and lots of poufs and cushions in bright pops of color. Adorning the reception area are bold artworks by local artists, from the owner's personal collection. Rooms are sleek and contemporary with low, Scandinavian-inspired wooden bed frames and back paneling, mustard yellow club chairs, floor-to-ceiling windows, and modern bathrooms with peacock blue tiles. Guests can also avail themselves of the spa and the two-story hypergym with eco-friendly NOHrD equipment and a yoga studio.

Brainchild of Silvio Sicoli and Gino Melatti, owners of hotel group Epik Collection, this retro boutique hotel-slash-museum is an ode to the Montréal of the 1960s and '70s, a period when the city hosted Expo '67 and stood at the forefront of art, culture, and design in North America. Each floor is a distinct mélange of art, history, and design, in addition to a film, music, and photo archive. They couldn't have done it without the collaboration of Archives Montréal, Bibliothèque et archives nationales du Québec, Library and Archives Canada, and the National Film Board (NFB). Each of the 33 rooms is completely unique, with custom built furniture and bespoke wallpaper. Guests will find vintage records to play on old-school turntables, NFB film footage to play on TVs, rotary phones on the bedside table, and more. Uville is not just a hotel or an immersive museum; it's a work of love.

Four splendidly ornate neoclassical commercial buildings were merged to create Old Montréal's largest boutique hotel, pleasing honeymooners and business execs alike with its old-fashioned grandeur, exposed brick walls in rooms, hammam (Middle Eastern–style steam bath), rooftop terrace, and unobstructed views of the Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Montréal. In late-2024, Le Place d'Armes was awarded a Michelin key, a distinction reserved for hotels that the organization judges as excellent in five categories: architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, overall personality and character, value for the price, and a significant contribution to the guest experience in a particular setting.

With its rustic stone walls and exposed beams, this inn was the first of its kind in the Old Port when it opened in the late 1980s, and the new owners continue to honor its tradition of calm excellence while adding modern comfort and contemporary design accents throughout. Rooms have faux fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, safes that accommodate laptops, and roomy desks. 

Hôtel Bonaparte's lobby, with its stark white walls, gleaming white tile floors, faux ornamental molding, and a wall-mounted electric fireplace, belies the 19th-century building in which it is housed, as well as the rest of the hotel's old-world style. The rooms feature exposed stone walls, hardwood floors, and original wood details. Given its old-fashioned good service, one of the best French restaurants in the city, a concierge Clef d'Or, and comfortable rooms, what's not to love? Rooms near the rear have views over the private gardens of the Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Montréal.

Le Crystal's luxury suites are all about dramatic style and comfort, designed to showcase the rooms' sleek kitchens, spa-style bathrooms, separate soaking tubs, and floor-to-ceiling windows. A nice perk is the on-site Starbucks.

With the construction, in 2019, of an additional six stories of glass-walled rooms atop the roof, the formerly drab concrete building looks, if not more attractive at least more interesting. A kaleidoscopic mural, Dazzle My Heart, by Canadian artist Michelle Hoogveld, appears on the hotel's façade. Inside, rooms are contemporary 1960s chic with vintage touches like ridged wooden paneling, “bubble” chairs, spherical lamps, and, in some cases, round beds. The 1960s theme continues in the luxurious bathrooms, which are papered with murals of retro newspaper highlights in a nostalgic homage to hip '60s-era Montréal. Egyptian cotton and bamboo linen sheets, plush cotton bathrobes, and Ruby Brown vegan bath products exclusive to Le Germain Hotel Montréal round out the luxury experience.

Often accommodating movie crews and performers who make themselves at home in the sun-filled laundry room and glassed-in rooftop pool, this apartment-style hotel is full of basic rooms and suites—all with fully equipped kitchens and living rooms with flat-screen televisions.

This boutique hotel, named for Québec's most passionate poet, Émile Nelligan, is known for its lobby atrium and rooftop terrace offering views of Old Montréal and the harbor. Occupying four historic buildings from the 1850s, the hotel is just a block south of the Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Montréal.

Forget fussy oil paintings or rococo furniture—behind its 19th-century Beaux arts façade, the St. Paul boasts a chic lobby furnished with jewel-toned velvet sofas and a giant alabaster fireplace built of backlit blocks of "ice."

Inside an art deco landmark, this chic hotel has loftlike rooms and apartments with high ceilings and lots of space, as well as sleek IKEA kitchens, king beds, funky art, leather sectionals, and expansive views of the cityscape.

An icon from Expo '67, this 36-floor skyscraper overlooking Place du Canada is always full of business guests, families, and prom parties, due to its expansive views of the city from its distinctive half-moon windows and the indoor links to the métro. A major refresh in 2020-2021 transformed the main level into a brighter, airier space. The Caf' Conc' ( cafeconcert.ca/en/) short for “Café Concert”, the hotel's kitschy, over-the-top cabaret-style performance venue, also underwent a full makeover after being closed for more than 30 years. Rooms are fresher and more contemporary with sheer white curtains, white bedcovers, linen wall panels in white and pale gray, and espresso brown hardwood floors. Contemporary white, black, and dove gray furnishings lend the rooms an air of tranquility despite the busy Downtown location and urban views. 

The second of the Petit Hôtels, the Petit Hôtel Notre-Dame opened in early 2025. Decor and design are sleek, modern and minimalist, featuring exposed brick and limestone walls--as is to be expected in this part of the city--low platform beds, simple white bedding, and inoffensive taupe and white tones throughout. The headboard with built-in electrical outlets, reading lights, and USB ports makes it easy to charge your phone and other electronics as you lie in bed.

  Another, the first, Petit Hôtel is located three blocks away at 168 rue St-Paul Ouest.

Little sister of Auberge du Vieux-Port, this boutique hotel marries creative design with old stone walls, exposed beams, a narrow lobby with a counter coffee bar and a 7-foot orange sculpture, and—contrary to its name—not-so-petite rooms. The ample rooms have king-sized beds with fluffy feather bedding (can be swapped for nonallergenic), bamboo floors, desks, and panels to connect electronic devices.  A second Petit Hôtel location opened in 2025 at 39 rue Notre Dame Ouest in Old Montréal.

With its sought-after address beside the basilica's chapel, this boutique hotel is blessed with a magical garden terrace, luxurious suites—both in space and décor—artwork by Québec designer Jean-Claude Poitras, and a lively lobby restaurant with one of the city's best menus.

Housed in a stately 19th-century former bank in the financial district, the dignified façade accurately suggests the grand interior with its high ceilings, antique furnishings, and large windows. Yet the iconic Robert Indiana Love sculpture outside hints at the more exuberant décor within: a bright Art Deco breakfast room; a bar with a jarring mélange of stripes, colors, and textures; and an extraordinary contemporary art collection featuring a parade of works by Andy Warhol, Fernando Botero, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, and more.

A chic showcase for your Prada luggage, the W Montréal lives up to the brand's reputation for a hip take on luxury and style, providing its A-list clientele with excellent service and sleek, modern decor, notably peekaboo bathrooms, a trendy bar, and a lobby designed for lingering and entertaining.

This hotel a block from Centre Bell has a modern and luxurious feel. Each room at the Warwick Le Crystal is a suite with apartment-style rooms and small kitchenettes.
