Welcome to Montreal : discover our neighbourhood

September 2019 hotel 10 blog

Are you going to be in Montreal in September? If so, you are guaranteed to be entertained. Summer is coming to an end, but the new season brings a breath of fresh novelty as new plays and exhibitions are displayed, and interesting concerts and shows are on the agenda. Of course, all these activities and attractions are within walking distance of the HOTEL10. In lack of inspiration for your next trip to Montreal? Discover the recommendations of our team.

MANY NEW EXHIBITIONS

Until October, at the McCord Museum, experience the Balenciaga – Master of haute couture exhibition where you will discover the exceptional know-how of the talented couturier. See, also, Shalom Montreal: stories and contributions from Jewish communities, which bring together testimonials, videos and photos to weave together the cultural and human aspect of Montreal. The resplendent Illuminations exhibition – Books from the 13th to the 16th century in Quebec Collections, will be presented at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts until January. This is the very first exhibition of the MBAM devoted to books – first-line narratives for lay people from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Discover an unknown heritage with this collection of 50 items.

Also, every year, at the Bonsecours Market in Old Montreal, the laureates of World Press Photo, the prestigious world press photography competition, are exhibited. Do not miss the 2019 edition of this impressive exhibition, which is presented until September 30th.

FEW LAST TERRACE NIGHTS

If you had not have the chance yet, go visit the ephemeral space of Jardins Gamelin! Inaugurated at the beginning of summer and open until September 30th, this public summer space is a true oasis in the city, with vegetable gardens, picnic tables, activities (free yoga in the morning, workshops and conferences) and food trucks.

A little further north, the terrace built as part of a pilot project at the top of Mount Royal, The suspended coffee is the perfect place to take a drink while enjoying spectacular views. From the HOTEL10, the more adventurous will walk there and take the opportunity to climb the Grand Staircase which leads directly to the summit of Mount Royal.

But still, if you do not want to go too far: the terrace of the HOTEL10 remains an excellent choice for its breathtaking views, its colourful decor and gourmet menu signed Agnus Dei Traiteur. Because, after all, you do not have to go far to fill up with “Montreal”, even if we strongly recommend you to, because it’s definitely worth it.

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.

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.
