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!

One of the best hotel experiences we have had! Michael greeted us with a beaming smile and kindness, taking the time to ensure we had everything we needed while checking in and during our first visit to Montreal. He called shortly after we arrived at our room to make sure it was perfect. The hotel was perfectly located in the downtown area and even had access to the underground "city." We will definitely return to Montreal and the Intercontinental again. Read less
Dated but very comfortable.

Dated decor, but the room was very comfortable, kept very clean, and they kept providing with more free bottled water than I knew what to do with! It's very central which was very convenient. Would've appreciated being pointed towards the entrance to the RESO - I eventually found it after a couple of days. Staff friendly and helpful though.
Outdated property

This hotel is very outdated. It’s crying for a renovation. My guess, the rooms were last updated in the 1980s. In room coffee maker - Keurig (yuck) - they need to upgrade to Nespresso. Restaurant dinner was very good. Staff is friendly and helpful. Parking underground. No valet / no bellman.
Excellent hotel choice in Montréal

The Intercontinental Montréal was home for 3 nights while on a recent trip to Canada and impressed with the hotel and it’s central location. It’s easily accessible from Gare Centrale de Montréal which is less than 10 minutes away if walking. Checkin was quick and soon in my room which was on the 14th floor facing the rear of the hotel so it was pretty quiet and no noise at all which was great. The room was a good size, very spacious, the king bed very comfortable with white crisp linens , I slept very well. I agree with previous comments that it feels a tad dated but it is holding up well apart from the odd scuff mark here and there. There was a desk should you need to work, a large screen TV, fridge and coffee machine, everything you could want in a hotel. The wifi was fast and easy to connect to . 2 bottles of complimentary waters which were replaced every day was a nice touch. The bathroom was a decent size with a separate shower and tub. The towels were soft and luxurious and the toiletries of a high standard and smelt lovely. There was 2 separate wardrobes so plenty of space to hang your clothes ( lots of hangers too ) Breakfast was not included in my rate and was $35 p.p. which I thought was very reasonable for a fancy hotel. The hotel bar, Sarah B has oysters on a Wednesday and Thursday at a great price - $9 for 6 / $16 for 12 . There was also selected cocktails for $10 which were well made too ! All of the staff which I encountered were great , happy to speak English or French and helpful with anything which you might have needed. The location is in an excellent location, you can walk to the metro, the old city / port and numerous nearby sights, bars and restaurants. I would not hesitate to stay here again when next in the city. Read less

Stay included family (with kids) in a one-bedroom suite. Accompanied spouse on a business trip. Excellent location- walking distance to old port and options for family entertainment. Didn’t want to drive anywhere and didn’t need to for the most part. Pool - picked this hotel for the saltwater pool but only went once. Not ideal for young children because pool depth is 4’ 6” throughout (same depth) and no stairs to enter. The pool has inserts for food placement to ascend/descend but no stairs to lounge or assist children with entry. They have life vests for children and pool noodles, floats available. Dry sauna inside change rooms. Clean facility. Gym is decent with great selection of workout equipment. Valet service was attentive and there was always someone at the entrance. Restaurant- French restaurant is excellent. Service was attentive and made the dining experience comfortable. Waiter provided good options and kids said it was one of their best meals in Montreal. Ordered room service from Oslo a couple of nights. Other dining options included Java (coffee/smoothies) and the attached ground level indoor mall type food options for bagels and coffee. Old Port/local destinations within walking distance: - museum of illusions was very close and a must if you have a teenager. It was a highlight and we spent more than an hour exploring. - if you want a traditional America style breakfast try Alo coco (6 minutes away). - Rue MCGill offers many quick dining options including fish n chips, burgers, ramen,etc. - recommend Aura experience at Notre Dame Basilica…old port is within 10 to 15 minutes away walking distance. - Montreal science centre is an option but I found more interesting for younger kids. Go during the afternoon because a lot of local school children do field trips earlier in the day, which makes it busier but it clears out after 2 pm. - escape room (amaze) is located close by in old port (6 minutes walking distance) - lots of cafes and crepe places…next time will try high tea - hot yoga studio, oxygen yoga located 4 minutes walking distance away…highly recommended and very welcoming atmosphere. Ask for a promo membership option to try a few classes. Read less
