What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Le Germain’s interiors are minimal and fashion-forward, the rooms laid out loft-style, the old bank’s windows letting plenty of sunlight in.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tucked onto quiet Rue Mansfield in the Golden Square Mile, the hotel sits two blocks from McGill University and Sainte-Catherine shopping.
The rooms
Sunlit loft-style rooms feature curved walnut joinery, swing-out desks, and plush beds dressed in goose down duvets and Egyptian cotton.
The gym
On the seventeenth floor, the gym looks out over the downtown skyline with treadmills, spinning bikes, and free weights.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Le Boulevardier
The second-floor French brasserie serves dishes rooted in Quebec terroir beside tall street-facing windows.
Inspired by a midcentury-modern aesthetic, Hôtel Le Germain’s 2019 renovations transformed this downtown property into an elegant space that also has outstanding service.
At the table
Flâneur Bar Lounge pours cocktails along a long wooden counter in the lobby, and a covered terrace opens outside.
How it began
Built in 1967 as headquarters for Quebec's engineers, this modernist office tower was converted into a boutique hotel by the Germain family.
