Bottom Line

The 131-room Hotel Le Crystal is a sleek and luxurious high-rise with great Montreal city views from the 12th-floor indoor pool, a hot tub with a patio, and a modern gym. One- and two-bedroom suites feature kitchenettes and living rooms, and some have fireplaces and balconies overlooking the city. A bistro serves French cuisine and Starbucks is in the lobby. For conventions there’s 6,000 square feet of modernly designed space. This downtown location is near the Bell Centre; travelers seeking a quiet Old Town location can try the InterContinental Montreal.

Hotel Le Crystal

Scene

Sleek, upscale high-rise hotel with modern interiors and Montreal city views

With a sleek, glass exterior, this upscale property -- aptly named the Hotel Le Crystal -- features great city views of Montreal from 28 floors. Hotel suites take up 12 floors of the building and the remaining floors are occupied by apartments. Neon lights glow from an awning over the entrance. Silver accents and light wooden details in the lobby create a grand first impression. A wall of windows bathes the lobby lounge -- with high-back tufted sofas and lovely chandeliers -- in natural light. Healthy snacks are available at the front desk. 

This hotel suits business travelers with its large and modernly decorated meeting rooms, but guests who appreciate luxury services and contemporary designs also stay here, and families can appreciate the pool.

Downtown location near shops, eateries, and the Bell Centre

On the outskirts of downtown Montreal, this hotel is on a highly trafficked street, five minutes on foot from the hockey games at Bell Centre. Rue St. Catherine -- with tons of shops, restaurants, cafes, bars, and exotic clubs -- is one block away.

The Bonadventure station is about five blocks away, making it easy to the reach attractions by subway. It’s five minutes by car to the Montreal Convention Centre.

Features

Indoor pool and spa, fitness facilities, pet-friendly perks, French dining and craft beers, valet parking, and meeting spaces

It’s all about the views at this high-rise hotel that features a 12th-floor indoor saltwater pool with saunas on the deck and a hot tub on the terrace that overlooks the city. Massages and pampering treatments are in a small spa and floor-to-ceiling windows offer great views in a gym with modern machines and free weights. Furry friends are welcome in the hotel, for a fee, and they get free kits with food/water bowls and treats. A restaurant and bar are arranged over two floors with a terrace and VIP room for up to 12 people. La Coupole Bistro Laurentien serves French cuisine (think: foie gras) and the bar has craft beers. Valet parking is available 24 hours a day, but it can be pricey, so guests often check prices at nearby garages before using it. A Starbucks Reserve cafe offers fresh brew in the lobby.

Meetings are commonly held on-site as the property has a total of 6,000 square feet of space spread out in seven meeting rooms. Catering and audiovisual equipment can be requested, and there are two computers and a printer in the lobby.
