Free welcome cocktail? A stunning pool with staggering views of Montreal? Bold, playful design around every corner?
Moxy Montreal Downtown, nestled between Griffintown and Old Montreal, is all of this and more.
This new hotel opening marks the debut of the Moxy brand in Quebec and is the 300th Marriott property in Canada.
Montreal is home to its fair share of incredible hotels, including one of the best in the world.
After the recent publication of the world’s 100 best new hotels list which did not feature a single Canadian property, the opening of Montreal’s newest hotel begs the question: Is Moxy Canada’s best new design hotel?
Just steps from Montreal’s downtown core, and a 9-minute walk from landmarks like the Montreal Eaton Centre and Time Out Market Montréal, it’s easy to see why everyone is talking about this stylish new hotel.
Developed in partnership with Montreal-based RIMAP Hospitality, the hotel is located on Saint-Jacques Street, just steps from Old Montreal and near major streets like Sainte-Catherine and Notre-Dame.
True to the Moxy brand’s bold spirit, the hotel features 216 smartly designed rooms, collaborative work areas, and a lively bar-restaurant and lounge.
Blending contemporary comfort with a playful, energetic vibe, Moxy Montreal Downtown stands out for its eye-catching design, personalized service, and dynamic social spaces.
Bold design comes to life through eclectic furnishings and locally inspired artwork, including subway car–themed murals on each floor created by the Montreal-based, women-led firm Design is Yummy.
Guests will also spot nods to the city’s iconic landmarks, from the metro to the Ferris wheel and beyond.
Throughout the hotel, unexpected design touches—like a dramatic mirror installation suspended from the lobby ceiling (check out footage of the exclusive tour below) and a sculptural spiral staircase—capture Montreal’s inventive, offbeat spirit.
A mirrored, neon-lit tunnel connecting one part of the hotel to the other is the Instagram background of our dreams.
The elegant pool, bookended by a hot tub and sauna, has stunning views of the Montreal skyline (pool flamingos included).
And the gleaming gym that looks out at the iconic Farine Five Roses sign made us actually want to work out.
Time Out Tip: You need to experience the hotel’s elevators. If you know, you know.
