Noteable Amenities
Location
Set on rue Sainte-Thérèse in the Old Port, this 19th-century building once served as a library. Today, it sits among galleries, boutiques, and local restaurants that draw both tourists and residents — but without the usual noise or foot traffic that comes with more obvious addresses.
It’s an easy base for exploring Old Montreal. Walk to the Notre-Dame Basilica, browse the galleries on rue Saint-Paul, or sit riverside with a pastry from Olive et Gourmando (three minutes away). For more immersive dining, Monarque, Barroco, and Crew Collective are all nearby.
The best of the neighbourhood is accessed on foot, but the Metro is a ten-minute walk if you need it.
Design
Construction on Maison Sainte-Thérèse took almost a year, slowed by the COVID-19 pandemic — but the extra time shows in the restraint of the final result.
The property was developed by Maisons & Co., with architectural direction by Steven Somogyi, interiors by Fulhaus (also behind sister property Maison Saint-Vincent), and further detailing by Sabrina Barazin Studio.
The building’s original bones, including the exposed brick, stone walls, and tall windows, remain intact, but the palette is softened by the furnishings and textured accents. Fulhaus designed the upper floor, Sabrina Barazin the lower, resulting in two subtly distinct aesthetics—Fulhaus leans bright and structured, while Barazin’s work brings a moodier, more tactile warmth.
There’s no lobby or concierge, just a clean door-front and a digital entry system.
Rooms
There are 15 suites across two floors, each one styled to feel more like a long-stay pied-à-terre than a typical boutique hotel room.
Expect fully equipped kitchens with real cookware (olive oil, salt, and utensils included), a Nespresso machine, Bluetooth speakers, Roku TV, and thoughtful touches like proper wine glasses and local art. The design is clean but not sterile, and the layout gives you space to actually live, whether you’re here for two nights or ten.
Check-in is fully virtual. You’ll get access codes via email and text, with clear instructions and a support contact if needed. Everything works. Which is more than can be said for most virtual systems.
Food & Drink
There’s no restaurant on-site, but the kitchens are stocked enough to make cooking a realistic (even enjoyable) option. Whether it’s breakfast in your pyjamas or wine and snacks after a gallery walk, the space supports downtime without effort. Grocery and wine stores are nearby if you want to self-cater.
Still, eating out is part of the appeal in this part of town. You’re a three-minute walk from Olive et Gourmando (the city's go-to for breakfast and baked goods), and less than ten from Monarque, one of Montreal’s most respected dining rooms. Barroco offers a more intimate, candlelit option for dinner, while Crew Collective is a café housed in a converted bank with soaring ceilings and a polished crowd.
