At HOTEL10: we love our neighbours!

July 05, 2019
July 2019 hotel 10 blog

At HOTEL10 we do believe it is important to be well surrounded and have good friends. Just like the popular Quebec song “I love my neighbour”, HOTEL10 also appreciates its (very numerous) neighbours. In fact, we love them so much that we decided to dedicate our blog of the month to them. So please, meet our dear neighbours!

CAFÉ ORIGINE

Café Origine was originally the entrance to the hotel’s restaurant. Today, there is no street access to the restaurant, but this is also because the restaurant has changed its concept over the years. Now, it only serves breakfast to HOTEL10 guests and will also host private and corporate events from time to time. Since last year, at the corner of Sherbrooke and Saint-Laurent, the 3rd wave coffee shop offers : delicious coffee from Canadian roaster Pilot, sandwiches, soups and salads and some pastries. You can also access Café Origine from … the hotel restaurant; very convenient for caffeine-hungry customers and good coffee lovers.

Les 7 doigts de la main

Les 7 doigts de la main is a collective of creators whom, in 2018, opened their own creation and production center, just in front of HOTEL10 on Saint-Laurent Boulevard! For us who are huge art lovers and rooters for creativity, this new neighbour is more than just a new address. Les 7 doigts collective space sees that all the dreams of the company grow under one roof. Its 7 founders wish to redefine the contemporary circus and to explore the infinite possibilities offered by the blending of artistic disciplines. You can attend displays as diverse as their creative minds : solo shows, Broadway-inspired musicals, prestigious international collaborations, special events, Olympic ceremonies, immersive experiences, and more. All this, at walking distance from HOTEL10, what luck!

BLVD44

Because we also like to party and have fun, we can count on BLVD44 night club which is located in HOTEL10 at the street level on the boulevard Saint-Laurent. Independent entity although it shares our work area, this popular discotheque is separated in three sections (the main room, the mezzanine and the terrace), each offering its own and unique atmosphere. Suggesting three ambiences, BLVD44 manages to please everyone; both a nightclub with a dance floor and a variety of VIP banquettes, a busy bar, but also a relaxed and quiet place to have a drink with friends. Good news: HOTEL10 guests can access it for free by showing their key card from Friday to Sunday. We hope to see you soon!

SPA TAÏS

Spa Taïs is our newest neighbour and it has just opened its doors on the boulevard Saint-Laurent, in a space left vacant by the former hair salon. HOTEL10 is proud to welcome its new tenant, Spa Taïs, which offers guests a 20% discount on presentation of their key card. Services offered include: massage, body and facial treatments, nail care and hair styling. Perfect for a quick beauty fix or a relaxing break before a night out in the city.

AKER RESTAURANT

The SHAKER Cuisine & Mixologie chain opened its first branch in Montreal last May on St-Laurent Boulevard, a few steps from HOTEL10, in the former Buonanotte space. It has 250 seats, in addition to a central bar with 40 seats and an outdoor terrace that can accommodate sixty people. SHAKER Cuisine & Mixologie offers customers a ‘bistronomie de luxe’ cuisine as well as a creative and exclusive cocktail menu. Whether it is a business dinner, a 5-7 or a dinner with friends, it is the perfect place for those who appreciate the trendy cuisine in a festive atmosphere with industrial decor, just like us!

AGNUS DEI

Finally, HOTEL10 chose Agnus Dei and its sister company Avec Plaisirs a few years ago as their official supplier of food and drink. It is therefore the dishes and selections of the renowned caterers that you can enjoy in our five meeting rooms, perfect to host all your events and meetings. Also, if you would rather enjoy a meal or a glass of wine with friends, HOTEL10 offers various options: for breakfast, enjoy the buffet offering local and seasonal dishes, for lunch, dinner, or if you want to relax with a glass in hand, BAR20 bistro is waiting for you.

That being said, we hope that you will love your neighbours as much as we do and that we will have the chance to present them to you soon.

Clean and Modern

We chose this hotel based on the location to get to IGA stadium and walking distance to the old town. Overall the experience did not disappoint us. Clean, modern, decent amenities, close to all point of interests.

Would visit again

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

It was a very smooth and pleasant stay. The front desk tried their best to check us in early since we arrived early. They also were able to hold our luggage prior to check in and after check out which helped us spend more time with the city. The cleaner came by every day and staff was very helpful with any questions we had. Would visit again.

Thanks for another great stay! We truly appreciated the surprise room upgrade and all the attention and service we always get. Your whole staff, from front desk to cleaning ladies to valet is truly amazing, and dedicated and so pleasant. Je ne parle pas de l’odeur merveilleuse qui règne à chaque étage., Chacun de nos séjours nous enchantent et nous donnent envie de revenir très vite. Nous avons déjà réservé pour fin Août pour le retour sur campus de notre fille et apprécions véritablement vos tarifs “McGill”.

Excellent Experience

The Hotel10 experience was excellent.
Everything is well-maintained, comfortable, and tastefully designed: excellent bedding, a quiet room, fully equipped facilities, and brand-new bathrooms.
The staff is lovely and welcoming, and the lobby alone is worth the visit—it’s that beautiful...

Impeccable Service

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

We had an incredible stay at Hotel 10 in Montreal! From the moment we arrived, the valet service made everything simple and stress-free. Our room was modern and spotless, with a very comfortable king-size bed and a clean, carpet-free space.
The in-room espresso machine was a nice surprise, and we weren’t disappointed! As most of you know, we love staying active, so we headed to the gym first thing in the morning for a great workout. The café also offered a delicious, healthy breakfast buffet that helped us start the day off right.

The room was very comfortable with very comfortable bedding and bathroom. We enjoyed coffee in the mornings at Cafe Origine attached to the hotel.
