About Montreal

What to know before you book

Montreal is Canada's second-largest city and one of North America's most culturally rich urban destinations. The city blends French and English cultures into something entirely unique — cobblestone streets in Vieux-Montréal, a world-class underground city (RÉSO), legendary bagels, smoked meat, and a festival calendar that includes Jazz Fest, Osheaga and Just For Laughs.

Hotels range from charming boutique properties in Old Montreal to mid-range business hotels along René-Lévesque Blvd. Montreal consistently ranks among North America's best-value major city destinations, with hotel prices noticeably below Toronto, Vancouver, or New York.
