Historic Old Montreal hotel on the St. Lawrence with river views







































"A historic boutique with Québécois-French flair in Old Montreal. Chock full of historical detail in one of North America’s most historic cities, this is a hotel that feels like a trip through time. Rustic touches like timbered ceilings, pine floors and 1882-vintage stone and brick walls complement comfortable guest rooms with all the modern necessities. In the timbered cellar, Taverne Gaspar, visitors get a peek at an unearthed relic: a piece of the fortification that originally defended the city." - The MICHELIN Guide

"You could easily wake up in this 45-room hotel and swear you’d been transported to a rustic country inn deep in Québec. As the city’s only hotel located on the St. Lawrence River, Auberge du Vieux-Port is the jewel of the independent, family-owned Gray Collection. Rooms lean rustic-chic: wrought-iron beds swaddled in goose-down, exposed brick walls, and views of the river or lively Rue Saint-Paul (Montréal’s oldest street). Settle in for a game of chess or leaf through a leather-bound book in the cabinet-of-curiosities–style Living Room before snagging a lunch reservation at Pincette, a casual spot modeled on an Atlantic Canadian lobster shack that serves lobster poutine, housemade lobster ravioli, and sky-high seafood platters. You’re well placed for strolling the verdant landscaping and bike lanes of the Grand Quay of the Port of Montréal—just make it back in time for dinner at atmospheric Taverne Gaspar, a Parisian-inspired brasserie that ranks among the city’s most romantic date spots." - Siobhan Reid

"Perched on the St. Lawrence River just where Montreal began, I loved Auberge du Vieux-Port’s cobblestoned, 18th-century setting and loft-vibe interiors with bamboo floors and exposed brick. Its waterfront location makes long walks along the canal easy, and the rooftop terrace is ideal for fireworks during summer festivals like International des Feux." - CNT Editors

"Set a few feet from where Montreal was founded on rue de la Commune, this is the city's only hotel on the St. Lawrence River; I loved its 18th-century buildings and cobblestone setting that feel Parisian, and the loft-vibe decor—bamboo floors, exposed brick or stone walls, and large openable windows—makes it an ideal spot for waterfront walks toward the Lachine Canal and Atwater Market. In summer, the rooftop terrace is the perfect place to watch the International des Feux fireworks over the river." - Todd Plummer


"Loved for its St. Lawrence River views right in Old Montreal." - Jessica Puckett, Charlie Hobbs
