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.

I stayed at the William Gray for a couple of nights. It was a great escape considering everything that is happening. As soon as I walked in the staff at the front desk made me forget all the worries and I enjoyed a great time of pure relaxation. The manager at the front desk was really helpful and made my stay a great experience.

I just wanted to say thanks to Mauricio for everything he did for my girlfriends & I. He made sure we got a reservation for the terrace on their opening night, and took care of us completely. If there is anything you need at William Gray, contact Mauricio! He’s the best! And the hotel is a dream. Thanks again!

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!)
