LHotel, Montreal

262 St Jacques St, Montreal, QC H2Y 1L9, Canada (show on map)

LHotel Montreal is a true architectural gem located in the heart of Old Montreal. Housed in a striking neo-Renaissance building that dates back to 1870, the structure was originally designed by Michel Laurent. It famously served as the head office for the Montreal City and District Savings Bank and later hosted the law offices of Jean Drapeau, the city’s visionary former mayor.

Today, the property functions as a unique “art gallery hotel.” Its walls are adorned with an impressive collection of contemporary masterpieces by iconic artists including Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Joan Miró, and Marc Chagall. This fusion of 19th-century history and modern artistic expression gives the hotel a distinct character that stands out in the city’s oldest neighbourhood.

The location is ideal for those who enjoy exploring on foot. You are just steps away from the majestic Notre-Dame Basilica and the vibrant, cobblestone streets of the historic district. The Old Port of Montreal, with its scenic river views and attractions like the Grande Roue ferris wheel, is also within easy walking distance.

For culture seekers, the area is packed with museums and galleries, making it a perfect base for soaking up the city’s heritage. Whether you are walking toward the Palais des congrès or wandering the charming boutiques on Saint-Paul Street, staying here places you directly in the middle of Montreal’s rich history and modern cultural pulse.

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Inside a grand 1870 building, LHotel is a major draw for art lovers. Georges Marciano, founder of Guess jeans, opened the hotel in 2010, showering great artworks throughout the rooms and common areas.”

Choose LHotel for location and art

Excellent location! Appreciated the complementary coffee and freshly baked croissants for breakfast. LOTS of artwork throughout the hotel. Valet parking was convenient.

The rooms are dated. Bathroom was small compared to room size and overdue for renovations (probably why hotel web site has no bathroom photos). Room, despite being spacious, only had a desk chair, no soft seating for relaxing.

Lovely, comfortable, great location.

Great location, very friendly staff, loved the free breakfast croissants and coffee. The funky art on the hallways makes the stay bright and cheerful.

If I had to add anything, it would be adding a few items for breakfast, like yogurt and boiled eggs, or baguette and cheese.

Excellent location. Interesting environment. Would stay again.

Nice for hotel to offer coffee and croissant before you start your day. If you require a larger breakfast there are many places in the area.

Had to request coffee all days. Cleaning didn’t quite make it to the room.

Perfect location. Funky lobby. Extremely comfortable beds. We will make this our regular spot.

The breakfast was just the perfect way to start the day. The pastries were very fresh and the coffee was superb (and I am a coffee snob)

It would be nice to be able to purchase some light snacks directly in the hotel.

Great location! Liked the free pastries for breakfast. Lots of art around the property, the decor is great.

The bathtub seemed to be a little clogged or at least it wasn’t draining very well. Also this is a bit not picky but I wish there was an electric kettle in the room to boil water for tea.

Excellent Boutique Style Hotel

Location, staff & b/fast (croissants, coffee & OJ) were excellent. Lounge was comfortable to retreat to for reading, b/fast etc. Art throughout facility was eclectic. Premier King Suite Room was spacious, clean & King sized bed was comfortable.

Website photos of room weren’t accurate. We rented king suite for 3 adults based on belief the 2 rooms were separated by a privacy door. There was no door & no option to change rooms or add screen. This made changing/sleeping/watching TV awkward. Pull out couch wasn’t comfortable. Springs/support poked into back because mattress was thin/old. Tile floor in bathroom was freezing.

Very good

Outstanding location. Very fun and energetic property with loads of eclectic artwork. Staff was accommodating, and there was plenty of nearby parking. Cute in-hotel souvenir shop. Very clean rooms and bathrooms despite their age.

The room we stayed in needed new carpet, and the tub/shower had jets that were grimey. I don't know why they lie about having a "gym" (two treadmills in a dark basement) or a "bar" (you can order wine, sure, but you have to track down an employee to give it to you); both of these spaces would be better serviced as something else.

Our stay at LHotel Montreal was perfect from start to finish, we would stay there again!

The staff was amazing! The room was so spacious and very clean. Maybe the cleanest room I have ever stayed in. The location was perfect and the valet parking made it so easy. It was really a perfect stay.

There is not anything we did like about this hotel.

Nice room

The room was super big, nice linens, good location

The staff could be better. On arrival there were kids behind reception and upon leaving our car rental key was misplaced by the valet and mislabelled by the staff. Our key was eventually found but caused us delays. While the decor and art were quirky there was a lot of it and would be nicer if it was more curated
