Things To Do
Food and Drink Recommendations
Attached is a google sheet with all our recommendations for coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails. We recommend making reservations for any larger groups.
Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal
This gorgeous Neo-Gothic church is a short walk from the hotel. You will have to buy tickets but it is definitely worth it. The stained glass incorporates the history of Montreal and the Catholic church.
Bota Bota, spa-sur-l'eau
Floating spa, pool and restaurant with a nordic water circuit on a boat overlooking the city. Bathing suits are required so don't forget to pack them! I would make a reservation ahead of time. Great spot for a nap.
Cité Mémoire Downtown Walk
On Friday and Saturday evenings, the city of Montreal projects short stories about their history onto buildings throughout the city after dark. There isn't a specific path you have to follow but the attached link has all the locations. We found this was a great activity after the museum so you have a bit more context on the cities history.
Montreal Museum of Archaeology and History
A museum on the history of Montreal. It is on top of the ruins of the first European settlement in the area.
L'Affichiste Posters
Adorable vintage poster gallery. You can find some really unique pieces here.
Mile End & Le Plateau Mont Royal Neighborhoods
The neighborhoods Mile End & Le Plateau Mont Royal are about a 20 minute Uber or train ride away. We recommend them if you plan to be in Montreal for a few extra days. This neighborhood is great for food, cocktails, night clubs and thrifting. Reach out to Kara/Drew if you want more recommendations for this area!
Mount Royal Park
Large hill in the center of the city with a park. Climb to the top for a great view of the city.
