Stepping off the elevator, I immediately thought this might be Montreal’s sexiest hallway.

The rose-hued space seemed to stretch endlessly, giving tropical deco Miami paradise vibes.

Tucked away on the 5th floor of one of the most stunning design hotels in Montreal—the Honeyrose Hotel Montreal—Muze Lounge & Terrasse is a tropical-themed escape overlooking Montreal.

We’re talking lobster and champagne evenings, Miami nights atmosphere and playful flamingo decor.

 It’s the perfect spot to soak up the city’s vibrant energy—especially during Grand Prix weekend— thanks to the stunning views from the lounge and partially covered outdoor terrasse.

Dizzy with sunny destination vibes, I was drawn towards the impressive bar inside the lounge.

To say it’s photogenic would be a gross understatement.

The honey-coloured curved art deco bar is a masterpiece, where some of the city’s most exciting cocktails are being shaken.

Take the evening from happy hour into late-night with signature cocktails and DJ sets.

Bonus: the Mediterranean-inspired menu is built for sharing. 

Think fresh seafood, grilled octopus with chimichurri, tartares, signature burgers and more.
