Four Seasons Hotel Montreal: Golden Square Mile Glamour, a Five-Star Guerlain Spa and Marcus Samuelsson’s Brasserie
In the city’s most storied neighborhood, a hotel washed in shades of rosé connects straight into Montreal’s grandest department store, pours cocktails on a buzzing brasserie terrace and hides the city’s only Forbes Five-Star spa.
Montreal has always had a flair for style, and the Golden Square Mile has always been its most elegant address, a neighborhood of mansions, museums and grand old department stores at the foot of Mount Royal. Four Seasons Hotel Montreal brought a new kind of glamour to it when it opened in 2019. It is sleek and contemporary, yet warm and a little playful, with a signature shade of rosé running through its rooms and a social scene that makes it as much a local hangout as a place to stay.
The building was designed to weave into the historic Holt Renfrew Ogilvy complex next door, and guests can walk straight from the third-floor lobby into the department store without stepping outside, a gift in a Montreal winter. Inside, the Paris design studio Gilles & Boissier gave Four Seasons Hotel Montreal interiors of wood, velvet and soft pinks that feel both modern and unmistakably sophisticated.
A hotel as much a local hangout as a place to stay.
MARCUS: a brasserie by Marcus Samuelsson
The beating heart of Four Seasons Hotel Montreal is the third-floor Social Square, home to MARCUS, the first Canadian restaurant from chef Marcus Samuelsson. Spread across MARCUS Restaurant + Terrace and MARCUS Bar + Lounge, it reinvents the classic brasserie with a seafood-forward menu and a glass-walled curing room where house-made seafood charcuterie hangs on display, sliced to order. Designed by Atelier Zébulon Perron, the space flows from lounge to dining room to an expansive outdoor terrace that becomes one of the liveliest after-work scenes in the city on summer evenings, with a soundtrack of funk and lounge music setting the tone.
Rooms in shades of rosé
Four Seasons Hotel Montreal has 169 guest rooms, including 19 suites. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the city and Mount Royal, and rooms are dressed in soft neutrals accented with the hotel’s signature rosé, with indirect lighting, chaise longues and, in some rooms, free-standing bathtubs beside mirrored panels. Bath amenities come from BYREDO, and in-room dining is available around the clock.
Guerlain Spa, the pool and the gym
Guerlain Spa is the hotel’s quiet showpiece. It holds a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating, the only spa in Montreal with that honor, and its eight treatment rooms include a couple’s suite. It is also home to the city’s only Kneipp hydrotherapy experience, with twin warm and cold baths and a pebbled footpath, alongside a steam room and infrared sauna. Elsewhere, a skylit indoor pool offers a swim above the city, and the 24-hour fitness center was designed by celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak.
A base for the Golden Square Mile
Location is the final luxury. Holt Renfrew Ogilvy is connected indoors, the boutiques of Rue Sainte-Catherine are steps away, and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, home to one of the largest collections of Quebec and Canadian art, is about a five-minute walk. McGill University and the trails of Mount Royal Park are close by, and Old Montreal’s cobblestone streets are a short taxi or metro ride away. Montréal–Trudeau International Airport is roughly 20 minutes by car.
For travelers who want Montreal at its most stylish, with a great table, a remarkable spa and the city’s best shopping at the door, Four Seasons Hotel Montreal is hard to beat.
