Montréal has you covered with hotels that offer a combination of superb amenities for rest and relaxation along with workspaces to keep you connected and productive. Here are just a few.
Alt Hotel Montréal
A stylish 154-room property located in a thriving, trendy neighbourhood just steps away from all Montréal has to offer, the Alt Hotel features ultra-fast Wi-Fi and ergonomic workstations in each room. The Nespresso coffee machine will help jumpstart your work sessions, while to the yoga mats (available on request) will help you slow down.
Humaniti Montréal
Montréal’s first Marriott Autograph Collection Hotel is a brilliant combination of human inspiration and innovative architecture. Not only does Humaniti offer a stellar gym, a spa and a stunning outdoor pool, but the hotel lobby and the second floor are perfect spaces to fold open the laptop and upload some ideas.
Hôtel Monville
Just steps away from historic Old Montréal and in the heart of the city’s business district, Hôtel Monville offers a spacious lobby with plenty of space for working. But it’s the rooftop that might seal the deal. Sip a latte with a panoramic view of Montréal while you finalize those business reports.

DoubleTree by Hilton Montréal
Located in the heart of the Quartier des spectacles and within walking distance to oodles of attractions, the DoubleTree by Hilton Montréal is ideally situated to explore the city.
