Renaissance by Marriott Montreal Downtown Hotel

Stylish Downtown Montreal Stay Steps from the Action

Modern and artistic, the Renaissance by Marriott Montreal Downtown Hotel puts you right in the heart of Montreal’s vibrant downtown. Just steps from Place Ville Marie and the bustling shops on St-Catherine Street, this boutique-inspired hotel blends sleek design with a strong local vibe — think street art in the lobby and a rooftop lounge with sweeping city views.
Each room comes with thoughtful touches like a CAFFITALY espresso machine, flat-screen TV, and spa-style bathroom amenities. Whether you’re in town for a concert, a weekend getaway, or a night on the town, this hotel offers comfort with a creative twist.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location, location, location — this hotel is perfectly placed for easy access to downtown concert venues and nightlife. Late-night returns are hassle-free, and with a 12:00 PM checkout, you can sleep in post-show. The rooftop terrace is a favorite for pre-concert drinks or a chill wind-down after the encore. Plus, the in-house Navigators are pros at recommending where to go and how to get there, even late at night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a stylish home base near music venues
• Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime show
• Couples making a romantic weekend of concerts and city sights
• Fans who want a quiet, comfy space to recover post-gig
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want upscale vibes

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s signature restaurant, East, serves up modern pan-Asian flavors in an upscale setting — perfect for a pre-show meal or late-night bite. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the rooftop lounge has a full bar and bistro menu, and downtown Montreal’s eateries are just steps away. Sleep in and enjoy a leisurely breakfast thanks to flexible morning dining options.

Nightlife Options

Start your night at the rooftop terrace lounge — a favorite for cocktails and city views. The hotel isn’t a party hub itself, which is great if you’re after a peaceful sleep, but it’s a quick walk or ride to nearby clubs, lounges, and live music spots in the downtown core.

What People Say

Guests rave about the central location and the hotel’s artsy, modern vibe. The rooftop terrace is a consistent highlight, and visitors love the rooms’ comfort and espresso machines. Many mention the friendly, helpful staff — especially the Navigators — who go out of their way to offer personalized tips and assistance.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that rooms facing the street can pick up city noise — nothing too disruptive, but light sleepers may want to request a quieter room. Also, while the rooftop is a hit in warmer months, it’s less of a draw in Montreal’s chillier seasons.

The Bottom Line

For music fans who want to stay in the heart of downtown Montreal with style, comfort, and easy access to the city’s best venues, this hotel hits all the right notes.
