Ritz-Carlton Montreal, building in Quebec, Canada
The Ritz-Carlton Montreal is a luxury hotel in the city center on Sherbrooke Street, built in 1912 and occupying an entire city block. The exterior maintains its early 1900s style with original architectural details, while the interior features a grand Palm Court lobby, elegant guest rooms in neutral tones, and multiple dining venues including Maison Boulud restaurant.
The hotel opened in 1912 as the world's first property to carry the Ritz-Carlton name. It has hosted royalty and world leaders including Queen Elizabeth II, Winston Churchill, and Charles de Gaulle, while remaining in continuous operation longer than any other Ritz-Carlton property.
The hotel's name comes from its founder César Ritz and represents a lifestyle of refinement and tradition. Locals and visitors gather here for Afternoon Tea and at the Dom Pérignon Champagne Bar, making it a social hub for those seeking elevated experiences.
The hotel sits in the center of the city and is easily reached on foot, with an underground tunnel network allowing visitors to walk through Montreal during cold winter weather. The airport is conveniently close and many museums, shops, and cultural attractions lie within a short walk.
A heated saltwater pool sits on the rooftop with panoramic views of the city skyline, hidden from street level and known mainly to guests staying at the property. The pool offers a peaceful escape while swimmers gaze out over Montreal's towers and distant landscapes.
