Historic hotels in Old Montreal
Old Montreal is where the city’s history is most palpable, with cobblestone streets and 17th-century architecture. Auberge Du Vieux Port By Gray Collection is your top pick here: a 4-star inn with an 8.8 rating, praised for its staff and river views. Le Merrill - Vieux Montreal offers loft-style rooms just steps from Notre-Dame Basilica, with a 7.3 rating. Rates in this district start around CAD 258 at the auberge, reflecting the prime location.
What is the best-rated historic hotel in Montreal?
The best-rated is Hotel Kutuma, a 4-star Plateau stay with a guest rating of 9.2 and rooms from CAD 155. Manoir Sherbrooke follows closely at 9.0, with rates from CAD 126. Both offer great value, but Kutuma’s kitchenette rooms and proximity to the metro give it an edge for those who want self-sufficiency.
Where to find cheap historic hotels in Montreal
Budget-conscious travelers should look at Trylon Appartements Hotel, a 3-star aparthotel with rates from CAD 110 and an 8.5 rating. All Suites Majestique is also affordable at CAD 119, though it currently has no reviews. Both offer kitchenettes, making them ideal for longer stays without eating into your travel budget.
Which historic hotels are central and close to attractions?
Most of these properties are centrally located. Le Square Phillips Hotel & Suites is in the heart of downtown, with easy access to shops and restaurants, and offers a rooftop pool. Chateau Versailles is a short walk from the Museum of Fine Arts. For Old Montreal’s attractions, Auberge Du Vieux Port and Le Merrill are unmatched – you can walk to the Old Port, Place Jacques-Cartier, and Notre-Dame Basilica in minutes.
Historic hotels in Montreal with parking and pet-friendly options
If you’re driving and traveling with a pet, Le Square Phillips Hotel & Suites (4-star, from CAD 319) offers both parking and a pet-friendly policy, along with kitchenettes and a rooftop pool. Chateau Versailles is another pet-friendly option with private parking and a boutique ambiance, rated 8.0. These are among the few in the set that accommodate both needs, so book early.

Frequently asked
What is the average price for historical hotels in Montreal?
Rates vary from about CAD 110 at Trylon Appartements to CAD 480 at Vogue Hotel. The typical price across the set is around CAD 219 per night.
Which district is best for a first-time visitor to Montreal?
Old Montreal is a great choice for history lovers – you'll be steps from the Old Port and Notre-Dame Basilica. For more local vibes, the Plateau (where Hotel Kutuma is) offers cafes, boutiques, and a young energy. Both are walkable, but Old Montreal is more tourist-centric.
How far in advance should I book a historical hotel in Montreal?
For summer (June-September) and during festivals like Jazz Fest, book at least 2-3 months ahead to get the best rates. Manoir Sherbrooke, with over 5,000 reviews, is popular and often sells out early.
Are these historical hotels walkable at night?
Yes, most are in safe, well-lit areas. Old Montreal is lively in the evenings, with restaurants and bars open late. Downtown and the Plateau are also safe, with the Plateau feeling more residential. Always take usual precautions.
Historical hotels in Montreal
Montreal’s historical hotels are a study in contrast: you can wake up in a 19th-century Vieux-Port inn with river views, or in a mid-century high-rise downtown that has hosted celebrities for decades. The city’s past is not confined to Old Montreal – the Plateau’s Victorian mansions, the Golden Square Mile’s Gilded Age palaces, and the downtown core’s grand railway hotels all offer their own chapter.
These properties range from budget-friendly 3-star stays like Manoir Sherbrooke (from CAD 126) to the 5-star Vogue Hotel (from CAD 480). Most sit in the 4-star bracket, offering a balance of historic character and modern amenities. Expect exposed stone, ornate lobbies, and elevator doors that clank – but also high-speed Wi-Fi, sleek bathrooms, and rooftop pools. For those who want an even more intimate base, the page also includes a couple of inns and aparthotels that fit the historic theme.
The bottom line
These historical hotels suit travelers who appreciate architecture, stories, and a sense of place – whether it's the cobblestone alleys of Old Montreal or the stately avenues of the Golden Square Mile.
