Four Seasons Hotel Montreal
Sleek Stunner
What it is
A 169 room retreat with a terrace restaurant by Marcus Samuelsson, eight-room Guerlain spa, Harley Pasternak-designed gym, and indoor pool under skylights.
What it isn't
Poorly serviced. This is Four Seasons, a.k.a. Topnotch in all seasons…with a 24-hour multilingual concierge, room service at all hours, same-day dry cleaning and pressing, twice daily housekeeping, turndown service, and even rental cars. Did we mention the gratis overnight shoe shines?
What we think
Luxury is always the dish du jour at Four Seasons Hotel Montreal, where perks range from an indoor passageway to iconic department store Holt Renfrew Ogilvy (for major V.I.P. vibes) and a serene indoor pool with an upstream current generator. No surprise: guest room options are just as plush. Even the “starting” category, Superior Rooms, are 408 square feet and sumptuously bedecked with a modern king canopy bed, floor to ceiling windows, a marble-lined bathroom with Byredo bath products, Lavazza coffee maker, and a well curated circular bar, which you’ll want to raid for a cocktail after donning the fluffy robe and slippers. For even more breathing room, we love the Deluxe One-Bedroom Suite for its expansive 908 square foot floor plan complete with an oval soaking tub, walk-in closet, and living room with a graceful ballet slipper pink sectional sofa.
You're here because
The Guerlain spa offers treatments like black orchid anti-aging facials and chillax-ation outposts that include a Kneipp Hydrotherapy Relaxation Room.
The Moment
You’ve been following James Beard Award winning Chef Marcus Samuelsson for years, and the hotel’s Marcus Restaurant + Terrace is his literal high point: perched high on the third floor, surrounded by the sparkling skyline. Tonight, his crew is serving up heaven on a plate: burrata with sweet peas, mint, lemon and focaccia.
Restaurants & Bars
MARCUS RESTAURANT + TERRACE - Visionary chef Marcus Samuelsson takes the traditional brasserie in exciting new directions. With an expansive third-floor terrace, this is Montreal’s hottest new destination to dine, drink and connect – from power breakfasts through to late-night cocktails.
MARCUS LOUNGE + BAR - Meet friends or business colleagues for the most creative cocktails, local beers and light cuisine. Later in the evening, the focal point becomes the dark and luxurious Nightbar. This dynamic social gathering place is located just off our third-floor Four Seasons lobby.
Location
The beating heart of Montreal’s Golden Square Mile, a mere block from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts—where the collection includes 45,000 works.
