"It makes perfect sense that a hotel debuting during a pandemic would focus on apartment-style living, privacy, and hygiene. The concept behind Hôtel Griffintown takes a stand against this city's hospitality tradition of buzzy restaurants, exclusive hotel bars, and scenes of any kind. Here, the idea is to offer furnished apartments that give the convenience of a hotel, but don't have any of the extra amenities which can drive up prices and, frankly, often go unused. Here, less is more. In terms of location this s perfect if you're the kind of traveler who loves to just wander. It abuts the Lachine Canal , where any real Montrealer within walking distance can be found getting some fresh air, whatever time of year. And the best of Griffintown, downtown, and Old Montreal are just minutes from your door." - Isa Tousignant, Todd Plummer
