Hotel overview
Located in Montreal’s vibrant downtown, this 4-star hotel merges the flair of boutique charm with the edgy style of an art gallery. The décor blends intimate boudoir elements with contemporary art touches, creating a uniquely captivating atmosphere. Guests appreciate the sleek glass-wall showers and thoughtful room amenities including air conditioning, laundry service, and a minibar-friendly setup.
A standout feature is the regular film screenings held on-site, offering an added cultural layer beyond a typical hotel stay. Situated steps away from McGill University and historic Victorian mansions, this property places visitors close to key cultural landmarks like the McCord Museum and Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
Visitors often praise the convenient location and comfortable rooms, though the lively neighborhood means street noise is a factor during late hours. This energetic area is perfect for travelers eager to explore museum exhibits, scenic city views from Mount Royal, and the striking Notre-Dame Basilica. Dining and nightlife options are abundant nearby, helping to round out a well-connected stay.

Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“My room was extraordinary. I really loved the beautiful setup and I wished that I could have stayed longer in Montreal. They included a free breakfast, a good selection of cold items and a choice between espresso and regular coffee. Very satisfying. I absolutely loved the bathroom and the shower.”
“The room is very clean and comfortable during midnight sleeping. Before 11:30pm, the noise is loud, one of noise sources is from the downstairs restaurant, the front desk said it’s exhausting ventilation fans; another noise source is from the street. Except for the noise, the room is quite good, especially for business travelers, because there are some ironing boards, desk and chairs, and other furniture. Breakfast and coffee are simple but good enough for the day start.”
“The room was nice and has its own signature. Very nice and friendly staff. However, the breakfast was a bit bellow average! There was obviously no effort. The coffee at breakfast was good though.”
“Staff was wonderful. Location is great but maybe too great: you can hear traffic outside, and its a very happening area. Also the floors are squeaky. Metro is a few blocks away. There are some super fancy hotels just around the corner, so if you want to dine luxuriously, meet celebrities, or party all night, this is a perfect place! On one hand, the lobby was very helpful, but the cleaning service forgot our soaps on day one.”
