Explore Montréal’s charming old town, characterised by grand stone buildings, before strolling down to the Vieux Port for a glimpse into the city’s trading past. Converted waterfront warehouse hotels in this neighbourhood offer a chic, laid-back feel, whilst Old Montréal is home to elegantly restored Beaux-Arts façades housing lovely hotels, boutiques and restaurants. Admire the striking Basilica of Notre-Dame, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Botanical Gardens, as well as popping into the many lovely churches dotted around the city.

Alternatively, for slick, contemporary luxury, head downtown, where trendy hotels offer spectacular views of the city’s modern skyline.

This is a seriously exciting city for food and culture, with a brilliant programme of lively musical, theatrical and culinary events throughout the year. Look out for small galleries, exhibition spaces, live music venues and pop-ups showcasing fabulous talents.

For an immersion into Montréal’s fascinating French past, explore Plateau Mont-Royal, packed with vintage and bohemian cafes, galleries and shops, whilst trendy Mile End also makes for a fun wander. With a huge array of cuisines on offer — in hipster bars, tiny patisseries or smart bistros — there’s no shortage of eateries and watering holes in which to relax and refuel.

Although Montréal’s winters are immensely cold, this is a popular year-round destination, so book your stay well in advance to avoid missing out! Whether you’re looking to amble through characterful markets, delve into the charm of the old town or perch on a terrace soaking up some live late-night jazz, the best places to stay in Montréal offer the perfect opportunity to unwind before another day of adventure.
