The 18 best gay-friendly hotels in Montreal, all conveniently grouped together, can be found in the downtown area, slightly further north in the Old Town, or just a bit more north in and around the Village gayborhood. Whether you’re looking for the vibrant life of downtown or the charm of the Old Town, each gay hotel Montreal offers something unique.
No matter the budget, there’s an accommodation option for every gay traveler. Those at the high end of the scale will adore the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth and the W Montreal. Travelers who are comfortable with 4-star properties will find many options, such as Hyatt Place and Best Western Plus. There are 2 and 3-star options and a hostel for those who enjoy that level of accommodation.
Surprisingly, pools aren’t a standard facility in most hotels in Montreal, including those in the gay hotel Montreal scene. In fact, they’re a rarity, most likely due to the climate: summer is short, and winter is long. The odd property that does have one ensures it’s heated, providing a cozy escape regardless of the chilly weather.
If you’re traveling with your four-legged fur babies, be sure to check with the hotel first. Not all the properties in Montreal are pet-friendly, but many are.
While no specifically gay-owned or operated properties exist in Montreal, the city is famous for embracing its LGBTQI residents and guests. Many hotels around the Village gayborhood see a high ratio of gay to straight guests year-round, making them feel like unofficial hubs of the gay hotel Montreal scene.
The Fairmont Queen Elizabeth even gets in on the action, hosting Pride events like a drag brunch and an exclusive party.
The Village, bordered by Saint Catherine Street East, Atateken Street, Saint Hubert Street, and De Lorimier Avenue, is the largest gayborhood in North America. Almost all the venues, including top spots in the gay hotel Montreal scene, line Saint Catherine Street East, the epicenter of the annual Pride parade. From April to September, 180,000 rainbow balls decorate both sides of the street, turning it into a vibrant, unmissable spectacle.
St Laurent Boulevard, a 10-minute drive southwest of the Village gayborhood, while not a gay area, has many art galleries and cultural institutions. There are a few bars and clubs on that strip that are frequented by gay locals and their friends.
Montreal Old Town is the perfect spot to wander and soak up the city’s history, with landmarks like City Hall and Notre Dame Basilica. The old port along the St. Lawrence River boasts a giant Ferris wheel and waterfront restaurants, making it a must-visit for any traveler. For those looking to stay nearby, a gay hotel Montreal option in this area offers charm, history, and easy access to the city’s best sights.
