We love our neighbours! And, because a stay at HOTEL10 is never boring, we constantly strive to push the boundaries of what we can do to make your experience with us even more unique.

Recently, we toured the neighborhood to create a new series of videos that we called "Neighbourhood". The objective is to introduce you to local and independent businesses that do things differently, just like HOTEL10! This series will present our neighbors by presenting their particulars, their stories and also, their services, aiming to inspire you during your next stay.

These unique shops are all easily accessible by foot from HOTEL10. We hope you enjoy discovering them through this new series created by artist Guy Hamelin in collaboration with HOTEL10.
