InterContinental Montreal

Montreal, Canada

Virgin rating

The hotel

Having recently been the proud recipient of a ‘Best Renovations’ award, the Intercontinental Montréal offers luxury accommodation in one of the city’s most sought after locations. Combining the exclusivity of a boutique hotel with top-tier service, guests are most certainly in for a treat when staying here, relaxing in rooms that are sumptuously furnished with plenty of space to stretch out in. On the 10th floor is the fitness centre with state-of-the-art equipment and aerobic classes. Alternatively, head to the indoor pool to swim a few laps or chill out in the spa tub. Osco! means ‘bravo!’, a sentiment you’ll heartily agree with at the Intercontinental’s signature restaurant, a Province-inspired brasserie with an ever-changing menu. There’s also the Sarah B Bar, named after Sarah Bernhardt, the queen of the French Tragedy, whose spirit is said to wander the vaults of the hotel — so keep your eyes peeled! At ‘green hour’, Absinthe is served. Known as the ‘green fairy’ it was said to enhance the creative energies of the great 19th century European writers and artists, including Sarah Bernhardt, but beware, at 55–75% proof, it’s not a tipple for the faint hearted!

We stayed here for 4 nights over the Christmas holiday. We chose this hotel for its location. Although the location was very convenient to things we wanted to see, the hotel itself was very disappointing. This Intercontinental is old, tired, and in desperate need of a remodel. We had a king bed standard room. The room was a decent size but full of worn out, mismatched furniture. The bathroom had a tub and tiny, moldy, corner unit shower stall, so tiny my husband couldn’t even bend over to wash his feet. Fixtures in the bathroom were so old that the chrome finish was worn off some of the pieces. The sink drain was incredibly slow. We arrived the afternoon of Christmas Eve after a long travel day. We had booked a dinner reservation at the hotel restaurant, Osco as we knew we would be tired and dining in the hotel would be convenient. The fixed menu meal that was the only option for dinner, was uninspiring. Everything tasted like it had been prepared far in advance and just reheated before serving. The common areas in the hotel just looked dated and worn. I wouldn’t choose this hotel again. I expect more from the Intercontinental brand. Read less

The location of this hotel can't be beat. Everything you need is there. You'll find great food, easy access to transit, a fantastic health & wellness centre and a spacious, comfortable room. The rooms are outdated but the furnishings have been so well maintained that it would be a shame to get rid of them.

I’ve been coming to Montreal with the family for more than 4 times for tourisme and we decided to change and come to intercontinental. It was the best so far. People are extremely nice. Nice breakfast. And the rooms are big and proper. I have a 3yrs old with me who did some naughty things around and people were always so friendly and understanding. Chantal the concierge, help me so much with organizing our visit with the kids. She knew it all! I insist, the best choice was coming here. Read less

Great hotel, helpful staff, nice bar and restaurant. Attentive breakfast staff with a great buffet selection or order from menu. Decent sized room, comfortable bed. Would stay again. Nice area to explore. Hotel looks very festive at this time of year.
