The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal
Opened in 1912, The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal blends historic Golden Square Mile glamour with highly modern rooms, Maison Boulud dining and a rooftop saltwater pool beneath a glass canopy.
The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal has stood on Sherbrooke Street in the Golden Square Mile since 1912, giving it a claim as one of Canada’s defining grand hotels. Museums, McGill University and downtown shopping are all within an easy walk.
A major renovation preserved historic public spaces while rebuilding guest rooms around contemporary comfort and technology. Marble bathrooms include heated floors and advanced fixtures, while suites add fireplaces and more generous living areas.
The indoor saltwater pool sits beneath a glass roof with views across the city, an unexpectedly modern element inside such a historic hotel. The spa incorporates treatments using regional ingredients, including maple sugar.
Maison Boulud gives the hotel a serious culinary identity through Daniel Boulud’s French cooking and Quebec produce. The Palm Court preserves one of the property’s most recognizable historic rituals with afternoon tea and a Dom Pérignon-focused lounge experience.
The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal is best for travelers who want old-world atmosphere without old-fashioned rooms. Its history remains visible, but the technology, bathrooms and wellness facilities make the stay distinctly contemporary.
