Noteable Amenities
Location
Those visiting Montreal for work usually stay Downtown or at the Old Port. While the former may be more practical, you can't refute the latter's charm. The cobbled streets, the shrubbery, the buskers—it's like a scaled-down version of Paris.
The streets are lined with small bistros and independent boutiques, and while there's much to do in this part of town, the hotel itself is on a quiet street. You'll barely hear the outside chatter, allowing for a good night's rest.
Design
Owner Adrienne Couture made local collaboration a priority. The building was renovated by Montreal-based architect Henri Cleinge, best known for transforming the city’s historic Royal Bank building.
Inside, the ten rooms take up two floors; the second designed by Fulhaus in their signature muted, textural palette, and the third by Nancy Benitz, who opted for brighter accents against otherwise pared-back materials.
The hotel doesn’t feel cookie-cutter. It reflects a confidence in local talent and a light hand. There’s no elevator, no lobby, no front desk. But the rooms are quiet, the doors solid. You’ll sleep well.
Rooms
Maison Saint-Vincent has just ten rooms—small in number, but not in detail. Each one includes a fully equipped kitchenette, a Nespresso machine with capsules, Roku TV, a wireless speaker, and a Volo! tablet that functions as a digital concierge.
Through the tablet, you’ll find WiFi information, local recommendations, and the option to request cleaning or housekeeping services for an added fee. There’s no daily housekeeping by default, but you’re not left wanting either—laundry facilities (washer/dryer) are available on-site for guests, making it a strong choice for longer stays.
While the amenities are smart, what stands out is how little noise there is, both literal and visual. It’s a space that allows you to think, rest, or work, without distraction.
Food & Drink
There’s no in-house restaurant, bar, oroom service, but it’s not the kind of hotel where you’d expect it. What you get instead is a practical, well-equipped kitchenette and a few thoughtful provisions, including trendy Flow alkaline water, coffee pods, and a pack of popcorn, which speaks to the overall tone here—low-key, but not lazy.
You’ll want to explore the neighborhood’s dining scene anyway. Start with Olive et Gourmando (three minutes away), grab a wine bar stool at Mélisse, or walk ten minutes to Monarque if you’re after one of the city’s most polished meals.
If you're in for the night, pick up a bottle from Le Vin dans les Voiles, reheat something simple, and settle in.
