The hotel

Historic architecture with a modern twist, the William Gray takes you back in time whilst also making you feel at home. Dine on the rooftop, and sip on one of the tasty cocktails whilst looking out at Old Montreal below. Treat yourself and indulge at the spa, complete with a relaxing thermal circuit, Himalayan salt room and an outdoor pool. And if that doesn’t sound appealing enough, the Living Room is where you can have a game of pool, read a book, or pick a record out of the vinyl collection to sit back, relax and listen to.

We stayed the the Hotel William Gray for a few nights in early March. It was a great experience, with an exceptional location.

We stayed the the Hotel William Gray for a few nights in early March. It was a great experience, with an exceptional location. If you are looking to do things like visit Bota Bota, or the Notre Dame Basilica, you couldn't ask for a better location. It's in the heart of downtown Montreal but it's a relatively quiet side street. We were close to the street level, and noise, etc. wasn't an issue for us. You can step out of the door of the hotel and have great bars, restaurants, coffee, etc. all within 5-10 minutes walking in any direction. We would definitely be back. The staff were great, very helpful and friendly. The hotel has a chic and modern feel to it, and none of the decor seemed overlooked in this regard. Our hotel room was probably one of the most stylish we've stayed in, original stone walls, concrete and a bright feel. It was really aesthetically pleasing. Bathroom was great and modern. The only critique I would have would just be the small touches, our room was very clean, but I noticed in the main area plants that were dead, debris from the winter on the rugs etc. Nothing major, and I would be back, but just little things that would elevate the hotel even further. We had a great stay and would recommend. Read less

What a cool property! Very clean, great central location, very friendly and helpful staff everywhere, comfortable public spaces for just hanging out. Would recommend to anyone looking for a chic place to spend a night or two (or more!)

We were greeted by Luca when we arrived who was pleasant and friendly and very helpful even offering suggestions of places to see and eat. The hotel is nestled in the heart of old Montreal, a short walk to excellent cafes (Cafe Olympico, Tommy Cafe and Crew Coffee), restaurants and architecture along St. Paul and surrounding areas. The hotel is beautiful and the room offered exceptional views of the waterfront and old port. The restaurant was also very nice and our only meal there, which was breakfast, was very good and reasonably priced. We had a couples massage at the spa on level P1 at the hotel which was also excellent and relaxing. We would absolutely stay here again without hesitation. Read less

Very clean and in a central location. Incredible views and good food nearby. The cafe attached to the hotel is one of the best in the city. A very hip clothing store is within the lobby.

Very clean and in a central location. Incredible views and good food nearby. The cafe attached to the hotel is one of the best in the city. A very hip clothing store is within the lobby. The room was very modern and well decorated. Bed was incredibly comfortable. The staff were all great people. We took an afternoon to visit the spa which was well worth it. The full thermal experience was great. I believe they have a rooftop pool to visit that may be included in some spa packages. We thought the on-site parking was a bit expensive but it may be normal for the location. Read less

We had a wonderful stay at this chic and unique hotel. The perfect mix of modern and old architecture, with a helpful staff to boot. Luca at the front desk was incredible and upgraded us to a larger room at no extra cost. He gave great recommendations for food and the perfect walking route to explore Old Montreal. We would definitely return!
