The perfect recipe for a successful summer? We are sharing it right here.

Summer is made for … lounging on a colourful terrace, gaze at the passers-by who wander downtown and enjoy the trendy festival season. HOTEL10 has it all under one roof, and much more. The perfect recipe to enjoy the summer is simple! Here, we share three essentials for a successful summer.

1-THE PERFECT TERRACE

Nestled in the interior courtyard of the HOTEL10 and offering breathtaking views of the boulevard Saint-Laurent is … our beautiful colourful terrace, perfect to complement your summer! First of all, be aware that our terrace is tailored for any occasion but, in our opinion, it is not necessary to wait for a special occasion to organize a moment with friends on our terrace. Maybe you just want to have a drink and a bite in good company outside, right in downtown Montreal. And this is often the case during summer! Our terrace is open to the public and you are welcome any time, whether you stay with us or not. So where will you organize your next 5 to 7? One wonders!

2– FREE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

With about forty events and festivals year-round, Le Quartier des Spectacles, located a few steps from HOTEL10, vibrates all year long …. but of course it is at its peak during summer. Enjoy our prime location, at walking distance from the bustling Place des Festivals and located directly on the Main where, in addition to the usual animated programming (bars, restaurants and shops), there are many events and pop ups happening all summer long.

3- A QUIET PLACE TO UNWIND (CLOSE TO EVERYTHING)

If you are looking for more than just a place to sleep in Montreal, HOTEL10’s rooms are just what you need. The harmonious blend of design and historic charm makes us one of the most popular hotels in downtown Montreal. Our rooms are equipped with custom-made furnitures and state-of-the-art technology, combining comfort and modernity … close to everything! So let yourself be seduced and see you at HOTEL10 this summer.

Clean and Modern

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

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.

MERCI

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

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

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

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.
