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!

Nice hotel. The old style is charming and the place is well maintained so I enjoyed it. Has more class than your typical Intercontinental. For those of you going to the convention center this place is very convenient: Just cross the street and you are in the convention center. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Nice hotel. The old style is charming and the place is well maintained so I enjoyed it. Has more class than your typical Intercontinental. For those of you going to the convention center this place is very convenient: Just cross the street and you are in the convention center. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Only minor disappointment was the breakfast buffet which was very standard chain-hotel breakfast. Because the hotel looks really nice you forget you are in an Intercontinental and I had hoped for something a bit nicer. But the breakfast space is very nice. Overall, I will certainly come back here. Read less

Wonderful well run hotel. Always enjoy staying here. Rooms are lovely, spacious and spotless. Sheets and towels are exceptional. All of the staff in this hotel are fantastic - super friendly and helpful. Great location - right in the middle between old city and downtown. Plus, great value. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else!!

There are far better hotels in Montreal to stay in believe me. Read less

We did not have a good experience staying at this hotel. My mom and I stayed here for the thanksgiving long weekend.

We did not have a good experience staying at this hotel. My mom and I stayed here for the thanksgiving long weekend. We arrived Friday in the evening after a long drive and the first room they checked us in was NOT cleaned at all. I thought we entered someone else’s room. The bed was not made, garbage can was not emptied, towels on the table. Never have I EVER stayed at a hotel before where this has happened. It was a bit disappointing to say the very least given that it is a global chain and 4 star hotel. But we thought, ok people make mistakes. We went down immediately with all our luggage and they apologized and “upgraded” us. To me it was the same kind of room but it was a long weekend and I can understand they were fully booked and we checked in late. The second room they gave us had only one bathrobe and on the second night we wanted to use the sauna and pool. Pool closes fairly early usually at 7pm but 9pm on Sat. We got back around 745pm and I asked concierge to send another bathrobe. We waited in our room and it doesn’t come. I called them again and they said they’ll send one right up. We waited until 820pm and nothing showed. I didn’t want to miss the pool so we went down and the second bathrobe never showed during our stay. After I used the one bathrobe they had in the room I realized there was a big yellow stain on the back. At this point, I wasn’t sure if it has been used as there were 2 slippers but only one bathrobe. The service in general has also been very slow and there are often long lines at concierge. The cherry on top is that I discovered some red rashes on my arms after I came back which might have been an allergic reaction to their body lotion. Read less

From the moment we arrived and I asked a question of the Concierge, we felt welcomed and responded to in a polite helpful professional way regarding how to park in the Hotel Garage. Once we parked and went to the front desk we again had a great feeling from the front desk reception. The young lady at the desk explained an issue the hotel was having with the Executive Lounge and offered many acceptable compromises. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet at "Osco" the hotel restaurant and had Dinner Sunday night there as well. Robin and Ivan had been there for all our breakfast moments as well as our Dinner Experience. Robin and Ivan extended kindness, professionalism, and the Hotel is very fortunate to have both of them on staff Read less
