A hotel of history and culture
First, let me quickly introduce you to the history of this unique place. This boutique hotel, located just behind the magnificent Notre-Dame Basilica, overlooks the gardens of the Sulpician seminary. This religious community is still present in these places today.
You will not be able to miss the many architectural testimonies of this period throughout your visit to the hotel, starting with the magnificent stone facade, remarkable as soon as you arrive.
Throughout your stay, the Hotel Saint Sulpice wishes to provide its customers with a unique experience combining modernity, luxury and history. You can find within the hotel itself a selection of works of art presented in different forms: book, exhibition and film!
The book is the result of collaborative work between different writers who were invited to stay at the hotel so that this unique place could be their source of inspiration. Thus, each of the 14 guests produced a short story according to their respective desires. This collection is available to customers for reading. And if you're a fan, you can even pick up a copy.
During our visit, we were able to discover the works of the famous Quebec designer Jean-Claude Poitras. The concept is simple: each floor of the hotel is associated with a different theme. And to this theme, a musical atmosphere is diffused throughout the floor concerned. The association of the works of Jean-Claude Poitras with the musical universe of François Dompierre, a great Quebec composer, offers us a unique moment of escape. This immersion is an original experience, worthy of one of the best hotels in Montreal, such as the Saint Sulpice.
To finish on this cultural part, you can also watch a short film entitled La Valise. This film is produced by the hotel itself! Four characters and a suitcase will take you on a discovery of the Saint Sulpice hotel in a rather original way.
An exceptional location for one of the best hotels in Montreal
It is obvious that the choice of your hotel will greatly depend on its location. And to be the best hotel in Montreal, what better place than Old Montreal? Le Saint Sulpice is perfectly located both for tourists who come to discover this beautiful city, and for professionals on business trips. You can enjoy a wide choice of tourist activities to do on foot from your hotel: visit the Notre-Dame basilica, stroll along the Old Port, visit Old Montreal and its underground city, go to Chinatown Chinatown and the Village, or visit the unmissable Pointe-à-Callière museum.
As you will have understood, the Saint Sulpice is the ideal hotel for visiting Montreal.
Room and services
After having discovered the universe of our floor through the works of Messrs. Poitras and Dompierre, we go to our suite. And there… wow! A large bedroom, with all the comforts of a suite: a living room with a fireplace (operating using an electric fireplace), a magnificent bedroom, a bathroom as a girl can dream of (with very beautiful products L'Occitane beauty salon) and a guest well-being area with Nespresso coffee machine (an important detail for us), minibar and other treats to make you feel at home. In short, you will understand, this room is perfect for a stay in Montreal, whatever the duration: one night, a week or more!
If you are traveling with a car, note that this is not a problem during your stay at the Saint Sulpice hotel: a parking service is provided so that you have no worries to manage during your stay. The servants take care of everything!
And finally, if your soul as a great sportsman dreads this trip because it represents a break in your training, reassure it, a gym is at your disposal during your stay. And to comfort you after exercise, you can take a trip to the Scandinavian Spa. A unique moment of relaxation in a contemporary and ecological environment.
Le restaurant Sinclair
The room is fine, but breakfast is also very important for us French people! We took it in the very nice dining room of the hotel. A bright, well-decorated and quiet room. What a good way to start the day. Here, breakfast is served at the table, not a buffet. You will have the choice between different plates (continental, Canadian or more health-oriented), but also with a selection of local specialties. We took the continental plate: very good and copious enough for a breakfast!
In order to live the experience to the full, we took our midday “lunch” at the hotel restaurant, the Sinclair. If you are a gourmet, a lover of good food, mixing originality and flavors, come and have a look at this restaurant in Montreal. As I said before, the hotel is located near a business district. The restaurant is one of the landmarks of these businessman to come and have a good but also quick “lunch”.
Regarding the meal, we were really spoiled! We had the chance to taste various and varied specialties: crab, foie gras, squid, tuna tartare, … And for each dish, its wine for an optimal tasting.
In addition, the chef is attentive to his supply: fresh and local products! Everything we love.
The little extra of this most beautiful hotel in Montreal? Le Saint Sulpice is the only hotel in Montreal where you can enjoy a beautiful terrace, flowery and shaded in summer, sheltered from cars and tourist traffic. A significant point that brings a touch of charm.
And to conclude on this rather gastronomic part, we particularly appreciated the bar area. A cozy space, by the fireplace in winter, where you can discover or rediscover a whole range of cocktails or warm yourself up with a delicious hot chocolate.

My opinion on the Hotel Saint-Sulpice in Montreal
I think I have presented this hotel to you in the most complete way possible, with all its advantages and… its advantages! Hotel Saint-Sulpice is unquestionably one of the best hotels in Montreal. I had a really pleasant time in this hotel: a perfect welcome, a magnificent room, a hotel rich in experience and history, an ideal setting for a first visit to Montreal and services designed to think of nothing but at his pleasure. Not to mention the restaurant, which is beyond my expectations in terms of value for money (lunch starting at $25 ca, which is largely affordable given the quality of the dishes). I cannot recommend this beautiful address enough for a stay in Montreal, whether you know the city or not!
