What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
With high-rise views and floor-to-ceiling windows, these plush, oversized rooms and suites are anything but edgy.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Place Jean-Paul Riopelle sits right outside, and the cobblestones of Old Montreal begin just down the street.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows look out across the city skyline, brightening oversized spaces styled with modernist classics.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
On the tenth floor, a heated pool sits beneath an angled glass roof looking out over the skyline.
The spa and gym
A cedar sauna and 24-hour fitness centre share the tenth floor with quiet treatment rooms for massage therapy.
Restaurant
Osco!
The brasserie pairs regional Quebec produce with French classics, with herringbone wood floors facing Place Jean-Paul Riopelle.
At the table
At Sarah B., bartenders shake craft cocktails alongside Provençal tapas in moody booths named for the Green Fairy.
How it began
The modern tower incorporates the 1888 Nordheimer Building, a Romanesque Revival music hall that once hosted Sarah Bernhardt.
