InterContinental Montreal

Montreal, Canada

Virgin rating

The hotel

Having recently been the proud recipient of a ‘Best Renovations’ award, the Intercontinental Montréal offers luxury accommodation in one of the city’s most sought after locations. Combining the exclusivity of a boutique hotel with top-tier service, guests are most certainly in for a treat when staying here, relaxing in rooms that are sumptuously furnished with plenty of space to stretch out in. On the 10th floor is the fitness centre with state-of-the-art equipment and aerobic classes. Alternatively, head to the indoor pool to swim a few laps or chill out in the spa tub. Osco! means ‘bravo!’, a sentiment you’ll heartily agree with at the Intercontinental’s signature restaurant, a Province-inspired brasserie with an ever-changing menu. There’s also the Sarah B Bar, named after Sarah Bernhardt, the queen of the French Tragedy, whose spirit is said to wander the vaults of the hotel — so keep your eyes peeled! At ‘green hour’, Absinthe is served. Known as the ‘green fairy’ it was said to enhance the creative energies of the great 19th century European writers and artists, including Sarah Bernhardt, but beware, at 55–75% proof, it’s not a tipple for the faint hearted!

Our first stay at the Intercontinetal as we took advantage of a promotion that included breakfast each morning. We had been to this hotel's bar and restaurant before and enjoyed them and had a good stay at the hotel. The location in an enclosed mall near Victoria Square is convenient to Old Montreal, the Port and the downtown area. The staff were helpful and efficient and the food quite good on the bar menu. Our only minor quibbles were that the mattress in our room was quite worn on one side and the breakfast buffet could use an upgrade. Definitely worth a look if you are visiting Montreal and it is within walking distance of several great restaurants. Read less

The hotel was clean comfortable and quiet. Was concerned that the room was near the elevators but did not hear them. The staff was courteous and helpful. Concierge was helpful in scheduling tours for us and gave us ideas where to go and how to get around.

Beds are lovely. Bar is chic and fun. (Shout out to Julio!) Service was excellent at all points throughout the stay. Excellent location. Pool was closed unfortunately. Room is tired and needs repair/upgrade in certain spots. Always a good idea to read additional reviews to see what others say.

As a regular visitor to Montreal, I can definitively say that the InterContinental Montreal is my most preferred place to stay. The friendly service, world class facilities and amenities, and terrific location make the IC my home away from home. I most recently stayed there for the Nuit Blanche weekend and my expectations for greatness were exceeded yet again. The breakfast buffet at the Osco is the finest breakfast I've had at any hotel in the world. Several fresh breads, charcuterie, beans, and fresh fruit, plus cappucino served with a smile by Rene-Gilles and Marc Read, are the perfect way to start the day and keep me full well into the afternoon. I highly recommend upgrading to a rate that will include breakfast. I stayed in a corner room on the 24th floor with excellent views of the Cartier bridge, Farine Four Roses sign, and much of the city skyline. The desk was right by the windows, providing a comfortable location for getting some work done and there were plenty of charging ports both at the desk and near the bed. The steam room really warmed me up after a chilly evening outdoors, though I found the salt water pool a little too chilly on the winter morning when I visited. In addition to a delightful breakfast, my friends were thrilled with their absinthe cocktails along with dinner at Sarah B. The beyond burger was delicious and a reasonably-priced plant-based option. The location is excellent with quick walks to Old Montreal and the Quartier des Spectacles. Additionally, you don't have to go outside to hop on the Orange Line metro stop at Victoria Square. It was a little less convienient not staying at the same hotel as my friends, but all of the amenities, warm customer service, and comfortable rooms more than made up for those short walks to meet up with chums.
