InterContinental Montreal

Montreal, Canada

Star 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!

We did not get valet, so navigating/ understanding the parking garage and getting to the hotel was a small challenge, but there is good signage. The lady who checked us in was amazing!!

We did not get valet, so navigating/ understanding the parking garage and getting to the hotel was a small challenge, but there is good signage. The lady who checked us in was amazing!! Other reviews have stated that the hotel is tired and dated. This is a 30+ year hotel. There were plenty of plug-ins near the bed, which a lot of hotels lack. Our room was a king that was spacious and CLEAN. The furnishings could use updating but were not horrible. I will take clean over modern. The bathroom was huge with a separate shower and tub. A previous reviewer stated that the shower was small, and I do agree that if you are a tall or larger person, it might be a struggle to use. The service in the bar downstairs was amazing as well. Great location at the edge of old town. We walked everywhere from the hotel. We were only there for a full day, so we hit the highlights. We would definitely stay here again. Read less

Adjoining mall is quaint with a piece of the Berlin Wall in it which was worth a visit. A/C worked well. Read less

Spent 2 nights at this hotel for the purpose of visiting Old Montreal and shopping. The location is central to our focus and the amenities are great. Had 3 meals on site which were wonderful, the room was well appointed and clean, and the staff were excellent - so polite and accommodating. The highlight of our stay however was the bar staff. A quaint bar which was just the right size for a cozy feeling. After the initial visit we felt that we were at home...accomplished in no small way by the two bar tenders Johanne and Julio. Following our first encounter we were greeted warmly each subsequent visit and made to feel like old friends. Not to belabour the point but both these individuals are at the epitome of their profession - so welcoming, genuine, and down to earth. As hotel stays go - it was a wonderful stay however these two made it very special!!! Because of our recent experience our next visit to Montreal will very likely be the Intercontinental Montreal, in no small part due to Johanne and Julio!!! Read less

Super clean room, slightly dated bathroom but it did the job. The bar was lively after hours and the staff were helpful. Really close to Old Montreal, most things are walkable within 10 minutes that you want to see and anything else is a short Uber away.
