As a Montrealer passionate about my city, I must share with you my favorite hotels for 2025. These perfectly reflect the Montreal way of life and I recommend staying in one of them during your next trip to Quebec.

Whether you're looking for an urban family experience or a more intimate stay in Old Montreal, here are hotels perfectly suited for any type of getaway and budget.

#1. Hôtel Place d'Armes

I particularly recommend this exceptional establishment for its unique blend of history and modern luxury. Housed in four 19th-century historic buildings, the hotel won me over with its authentic hammam and panoramic terrace on the 8th floor.

My advice: book a room with a view of the Notre-Dame Basilica. The nighttime view of this illuminated monument remains etched in my memory. 

Guests particularly love the Kyo Bar Japonais, an elegant tavern offering refined sushi and an impressive sake menu. For my part, I prefer the oysters and cocktails at Brasserie 701! There's something for every taste. 

The proximity to the Old Port and metro stations makes exploring Montreal very convenient.

#2. Hôtel Monville 

I discovered this architectural gem during an outing in downtown Montreal. Its contemporary facade and 20 floors immediately captivated me. A fascinating detail: the hotel features Canada's first robot concierge service, delivering your orders directly to your room.

The sleek rooms with modern lines offer a spectacular view of the skyscrapers in the Business District. On the culinary side, the signature restaurant offers refined local cuisine that I particularly enjoyed.

The proximity to the Chinese Quarter and Saint-Laurent Boulevard allows for easy exploration of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods.

#3. Hôtel Alt Montréal

I particularly appreciate this avant-garde establishment that perfectly reflects the creative spirit of the Griffintown neighborhood. It truly feels like you're living in a neighborhood condo! To add to the purely local experience, the hotel showcases works by local artists that change each season, transforming the hall into a true ephemeral art gallery.

Travelers love the trendy lobby-bar where neighborhood residents and visitors mingle over excellent craft cocktails. The urban terrace on the 7th floor offers a relaxed ambiance with its lounge sofas and tapas bar, perfect for admiring the sunset over the converted old manufactories.

Plus, you are just a minute from the Lachine Canal. I suggest a walk along it, up to Atwater Market, where you can put together a picnic made with local products!

#4. L'Appartement Hôtel

This warm establishment is located a stone's throw from McGill University, in downtown Montreal. A rather rare detail in Montreal, each room has a fully equipped kitchenette, perfect for preparing a brunch with fresh products!

However, my favorite element remains the heated indoor pool on the rooftop, offering a spectacular view of Mount Royal. If you want to treat yourself, opt for a suite on the top floor to enjoy the panoramic bay windows.

The prime location near Place des Arts allows you to attend major summer festivals without worrying about the often-crowded public transport.

#5. Hôtel Le Germain Montréal

My crush is on this iconic establishment of the Golden Square. The 60s architecture elegantly revisited instantly won me over, as did the interior design that blends modernity with retro touches.

A standout feature: the hotel displays a permanent collection of contemporary Quebec artworks, transforming each floor into an actual gallery. The intimate library on the top floor remains my favorite spot to savor breakfast with a view of the fine arts.

I suggest booking a corner room with large bay windows. The spaces are remarkably bright, and the view of downtown is truly worth seeing. In the evening, the cozy lounge bar attracts both trendy Montrealers and savvy travelers.

#6. Delta Hotel Downtown

In the heart of downtown Montreal, the Delta hotel is perfect for a family stay. Their thematic "Enchanted Forest" and "Winter Magic" rooms delight young travelers aged 10 and under with enchanting decor and age-appropriate surprises.

The spacious rooms allow families to settle in comfortably. The complimentary breakfast served in the panoramic lounge transforms every morning into a magical moment.

The heated indoor pool and the children's playroom are a delight for families. Just steps away from Montreal's underground world, you can explore the city even on rainy days.

#7. Hôtel William Gray

Nestled in Old Montreal, the William Gray is a true urban gem that perfectly blends historical architecture and contemporary design. The hotel occupies two historic 18th-century buildings, including the former house of Edward William Gray, Montreal's sheriff. The architectural fusion creates a truly unique atmosphere you won't find anywhere else in the city.

The panoramic terrace on the 8th floor particularly impressed me with its stunning view of Place Jacques-Cartier and the St. Lawrence River. If you're traveling as a couple, it's a must! 

If you visit us in winter, book one of the six heated domes for a unique dining experience. I savored signature cocktails and refined dishes while the lights of the Old Port twinkled on the horizon.

#8. Bonaventure Hotel Montreal 

I am fascinated by this genuine haven of peace suspended above the city. A well-kept secret: during winter, the heated outdoor pool becomes a magical spot where you can swim under the snowflakes.

Families will appreciate the spacious rooms with views of the gardens on the upper floors. If you can, opt for a room on the top floor, facing the waterfalls. Children love watching the ducks that frequently visit the ponds.

To be close to downtown, while enjoying the amenities of a large hotel chain, you can't find better!

#9. Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth 

I fell under the spell of this iconic palace in Montreal. Its fascinating history revolves around the famous suite 1742 where John Lennon and Yoko Ono held their "bed-in" for peace in 1969, remains a mythical place. This suite still exists today! 

By day, a must is the Artisans market. It transforms according to events and times of the year! It's a great place to meet for lunch or for a renowned pastry. 

In the evenings, I indulge myself at Nacarat, the most refined cocktail bar in downtown, yet unpretentious. The mixologists create bold blends with local ingredients.

My recommendation: reserve a table at the bar to admire the sunset over the city while savoring their signature cocktail with maple notes.

#10. Hôtel Zero 1 

I have memorable memories of this avant-garde design establishment. Its contemporary facade hides a surprise,  a panoramic terrace on the 5th floor offering a spectacular view of the Quartier des Spectacles!

The rooms particularly captivated me with their layout inspired by New York lofts. Each space features floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a unique bright atmosphere with urban charm.

My favorite discovery is still the secret inner courtyard, an unexpected haven of peace in the heart of downtown. For an authentic urban experience, choose a LOFT room on the upper floors. The view of the illuminated skyscrapers is worth every moment.

#11. Hôtel 10 

Hotel 10 is a sixties charm establishment unique to Montreal. It occupies a historic building from 1914 combined with a modern structure from the 60s, creating fascinating architecture.

The monumental artistic mural created in 2021 on the facade particularly impressed me. It turns the hotel into a true urban art gallery.

Book a room on the Sherbrooke side to enjoy the urban spectacle. In the evening, the hotel's bar becomes a trendy place where travelers and Montrealers mingle in a relaxed atmosphere.

#12. Hôtel Gault 

I discovered in this old building from 1871 a luxurious escape in the heart of Old Montreal. The transformation of the place in 2002 preserved the industrial soul while creating a refined contemporary atmosphere. You go to the Gault if you want to indulge yourself! 

The large arched windows of my suite offered a perfect setting to admire the sunrise over the historic rooftops. The personalized service of the library with its selection of films and books is a plus if you prefer a relaxing evening.

My suggestion: book a room on the upper floors facing Sainte-Hélène Street. In 1998, the City of Montreal, in partnership with Gaz Métropolitain, installed twenty-two gas lanterns on Sainte-Hélène Street, paying homage to the lighting of yesteryear. This initiative has made the street a popular location for historical film shoots, making it a little gem of the Old City! 

In the morning, go down for breakfast in the restaurant bathed in natural light. The eggs benedict there are simply divine.

#13. Four Seasons Hotel Montreal

If you are looking for a VIP experience in Montreal, this gem of the Golden Square Mile is for you. A remarkable fact: the hotel has just obtained the 5 Green Key certification for its environmental commitment, a first for a luxury hotel in Montreal.

The terrace of the MARCUS restaurant won me over with its panoramic view of the city. It's one of the most popular bars in the city! The signature cocktails with fresh herbs from the rooftop garden create a memorable taste experience.

My recommendation: book a suite with a view of Mount Royal.

#14. Hôtel Nelligan

I had a real crush on this historic establishment in Old Montreal. Each room pays tribute to the famous poet Émile Nelligan with excerpts of his works engraved on the walls.

The exposed century-old bricks create a unique warm atmosphere, enhanced by refined contemporary furniture. My favorite spot remains the central atrium with its spectacular glass roof, a magical place to enjoy breakfast.

Opt for a suite with a view of the St. Lawrence on the fourth floor. The monumental windows offer a fascinating spectacle of the river that changes with the seasons.

#15. Best Western Ville-Marie

I discovered in this urban refuge a warm welcome perfect for families. My surprise? The special kids' program with a Montreal exploration passport, a unique initiative that turns each stay into an educational adventure.

Their concierge service has a dedicated family section. Their expertise allows for organizing days adapted to all ages, from the smallest to teenagers.

Request a room on floors 15-17. The panoramic view of Mount Royal fascinates children, especially at sunset when the city lights gradually turn on.
