Hotel Le Germain, Montreal
More photosExpert reviews
“Hôtel Le Germain, in a refurbished 1960s office tower, emphasizes that era’s design in large, quiet rooms with bentwood tables, exposed concrete, peekaboo showers and clear acrylic bubble chairs hanging from the ceiling.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Montreal
“The lobby in this sleek boutique hotel is peppered with models, record producers, and international hipsters who revel in the Germain’s well-known brand. It’s a place to see and be seen for both art and business.”
“Stylish design, comfortable beds, large bathrooms with quality amenities, and a location on a quiet street just steps from main thoroughfares—those are four big pluses in this trim hotel’s favor.”
“This stylish hotel boasts luxurious rooms with dark wood details (headboard, wood blinds), cream-colored walls, sheer curtains and artful lighting. You’ll find all the creature comforts, such as goose-down duvets, gadget docks and rainfall showers; the bathrooms have a touch of the eccentric with one big window into the room.”

All you need to know
In Montreal, the reign of large retail chains has been overthrown by boutique stores, spearheaded by Hôtel le Germain.
This establishment, once an overlooked office building from the sixties, was the pioneer in the city to adopt the kind of innovative hotel design popularized by Starck and Schrager in places such as LA’s Mondrian or New York’s Paramount Hotel.
The interior of Le Germain is characterized by sleek minimalism and trendy design. Rooms are designed in a loft-style layout, with the original bank’s windows allowing ample sunlight. The decor boasts a subdued Zen aesthetic, with dark mahogany furniture contrasting against a backdrop of whites and creams.
Luxury is ensured with down duvets and Aveda bath products. The bathrooms, encased in glass, are a signature feature of boutique accommodations but they can lean towards the provocative side — here, a delicate and tasteful window provides a view from the bed and can be closed when privacy is needed.
The hotel’s mezzanine houses Le Laurie Raphaël, the successor to one of Quebec City’s most esteemed eateries, brimming with local Québécois pride through its small-plate offerings.

We didn't have breakfast there, when staying in Montréal we always go to Bagel ect. on St-Laurent it's very delicious.
However le Germain has a very fabulous restaurant :-)

Worth it.
Well appointed, comfortable, and clean.
Parking was a little bit of a hassle, and the hotel is on a one way so it’s a little difficult to navigate by car. Otherwise great location.

Great location.
Night staff when we arrived wasn’t very friendly. Didn’t explain any of the amenities to us. I also don’t think I got the room I had actually booked. I had upgraded to a signature king but that is not what I paid for.
