The Four Seasons was one of the remaining top-tier hotels in Montreal I’d yet to visit, and I was excited to explore its many offerings and compare it to other properties in the city.
Four Seasons Montreal – Booking
If you’re contemplating a stay at the Four Seasons Montreal, prepare to pay around $695 (CAD) per night for a standard room, and sometimes as much as $1,000 (CAD) during peak season. For this stay, I was fortunate to secure a favourable industry rate.

The immediate vicinity is home to plenty of upscale shops, restaurants, and hotels. Holt Renfrew Ogilvy is directly accessible from the hotel’s third-floor lobby, and The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal is only a five-minute walk away.
The Golden Square Mile district is close to Crescent Street, Saint-Catherine Street, and Mount Royal, which are all reachable in under 15 minutes by foot. The hotel is a bit farther from Old Port, but it’s a lovely walk on a clear day, or an easy 10-minute drive.
Key attractions within walking distance of the hotel include the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Bell Centre, and McGill University. If you want to explore further afield, Old Montreal and the Notre-Dame Basilica are only a 10-minute drive away.
If you’re taking the metro, it’s an easy five-minute stroll to Peel station.
Lastly, the Four Seasons Montreal is about a 30-minute drive from Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport by car at the best of times.
Alternatively, you can take the 747 Express bus, which runs every 10 minutes and goes from the airport to René-Lévesque/Drummond. From there, it’s less than 10 minutes by foot from the Four Seasons Montreal.
Four Seasons Montreal – Check-in
The Four Seasons Montreal is nestled off Rue de la Montagne. The building resides in a striking 18-storey high-rise, which is uniquely designed to interact with Montreal’s skyline and capture light differently on each floor.
I arrived at the hotel around noon and upon first glance, I immediately noted the bold and angular contemporary façade, featuring a sleek combination of bold, black glass, and gold-plated metal gridwork.
Four Seasons Montreal – Exterior
As you approach the street-level entrance, you’ll catch sight of the iconic Four Seasons logo emblazoned above a set of revolving doors, which welcomes you into a simple yet elegant foyer.
If you’re coming from the Holt Renfrew Ogilvy shopping centre, a secondary entrance is accessible directly indoors from the hotel’s third-floor.

As I arrived, a friendly bellhop greeted me by name and ushered me towards a set of gleaming gold elevators. An elevator led us up to the third-floor social space, which is also home to Marcus Bar and Restaurant, while the other ascended to the guest rooms on the same floor.

From the moment I arrived, the staff and hotel left a lasting impression. The Four Seasons Montreal clearly distinguishes itself with its contemporary luxury, a stark departure from the old-world charm of the Ritz nearby.
Upon stepping inside, the ground-floor lobby further exemplifies this with an attractive display of minimalist elegance. Playful marble cubes, reminiscent of contemporary art, serve as seats, while a towering brass partition adds a captivating focal point to the understated décor.

I was then whisked away to the third-floor lobby, where check-in was completed. Here, white marble floors and walls adorned in pink velvet add a layer of luxurious texture.
The lobby seating area consists of plush, curved pink velvet sofas and armchairs. Fronting this area is a pair of smooth marble check-in desks.

The associate at the front desk confirmed my stay in a Premier Two Queen Room, as I was travelling with a companion, and happily informed me that my room was ready upon arrival.
With keys in hand, I headed upstairs to drop off my belongings before indulging in lunch at Holts Café, conveniently located adjacent to the hotel.

The guest room hallways at the Four Seasons Montreal are beautiful, with elegant decorative wall trim and dark hardwood panels that stretch across the ceilings.

Moreover, for those staying on the ninth floor or higher, an open-air atrium features a breathtaking art installation called Contemplation by acclaimed Montreal-based designer Pascale Girardin.

This work of art is made up of 90 floral suspensions crafted from aluminium, with each suspension beautifully embellished with gold-gilded accents and arranged in a cascading formation that extends from the 18th-floor skylight.

Upon entering the Premier Two Queen Room, I was immediately struck by the modern and elegant details incorporated into the in-room décor.
Four Seasons Montreal – Premier Two Queen Room foyer
Herringbone wood floors, ample marble accents, sleek fixtures, and mirrored surfaces form a room that’s simply outstanding. Moreover, the colour scheme of brass, orange, and dusty pink, with touches of black and gold, served as a novel twist.

The Premier Two Queen Room is furnished with two queen beds that are flanked by marble side tables.

It’s worth noting that the beds were very comfortable; however, they lack the cube-shaped canopy frame that accompanies the beds in all the king rooms.
The headboards of the beds are fitted with LED lights, creating a softly illuminated and modern look. I loved how the lights were all bouncing against the back of the wall fixtures, which brought light to the space without being overly harsh.
In addition, a full-body mirror stands in the centre of the room, with a Four Seasons iPad on the table for convenient access to hotel services, room service, housekeeping as well as in-room controls.

Furthermore, on each side of the bed, a control panel sits within easy reach for electronic adjustments of lights and curtains. In terms of connectivity, two outlets and two USB-A ports are available.
To the left of the room, a partition with gold edges and handles opens up to reveal a luxurious bathroom featuring a dark bronze reflective surface that adds to the opulent ambiance.
Opposite the bed, a beautiful circular mirror plays host to a wet bar which displays a range of top-shelf spirits, including Moët and Chandon Champagne and Johnnie Walker Black Label whisky, alongside appropriate glassware.

Adjacent, a floating marble-clad desk with a gradually thinning surface is positioned, and is accompanied by a plush ottoman.
Additionally, there’s a pair of armchairs. Here, a table was proactively set up with a Four Seasons welcome amenity, including a handwritten note, leaf-shaped sweets, and a chocolate with the Four Seasons logo.

The bathroom is accessible near the beds and through a separate entrance at the foyer upon entering. It’s spacious and exquisite, clad in a cohesive blend of grey and white marble.

There’s a single vanity to the left, complete with elegant bronzed fixtures and a large mirror. The centrepiece of the bathroom is a deep freestanding circular bathtub, with an adjacent side table and two plush robes to the right.

Nestled behind a door, a spacious shower features elegant grey and white marble, bronzed fixtures, and both a rain shower and handheld shower wand.

Lastly, the room offers ample storage space with a good sized closet.

A highlight of this room is certainly its views through the floor-to-ceiling windows, stirring up my nostalgia from having lived in Montreal in the past.

In particular, the Leonard Cohen mural was a sight to behold, whether viewed during the day or at night. Meanwhile, the lively atmosphere of Crescent Street below added an extra dimension of excitement to my stay.
The Premier Two Queen Room’s interior design is a masterful blend of style and functionality, and undoubtedly one of the best room interiors I can think of in any Canadian hotel.
The design, including the lighting arrangement, was expertly executed, and the tasteful use of marble and mirrored surfaces elevated the space to new heights with a touch of distinction that was both visually appealing and memorable.
Four Seasons Montreal – Deluxe King Room
Curious to explore the full breadth of this impeccably designed hotel, I also toured the Deluxe King Room, Premier One-Bedroom Suite, and Presidential Suite.
The Deluxe King Room boasts a modern and refined design that’s comparable to that of the Premier Two Queen Room.
