Hotel Omni Mont-Royal is a long-established downtown hotel at 1050 Sherbrooke Street West, with 299 rooms and a location that puts you between McGill University, the Museum of Fine Arts and the shops of Sainte-Catherine Street. It is rated 4.5 and is a 1970s-era building. The Underground City is one minute away on foot, McGill University is one minute away, Peel metro station is two minutes, and Sainte-Catherine Street and the Eaton Centre are three to five minutes. The Museum of Fine Arts is about seven minutes' walk and Central Station twelve. The hotel has a seasonal outdoor pool, a 24-hour gym and an indoor hot tub, plus Le Petit Opus restaurant, Alice Bar and a cafe. There is no spa on site, though a medispa is next door. Wifi is free in all rooms, and covered, secured valet parking is charged by the night with height restrictions. Rooms range from Deluxe and Premier rooms with a king bed or two double beds to the Omni Suite and two-bedroom suites of about 1,000 square feet. Dogs and cats up to 25 pounds are accepted in specific rooms for a fee. Check-in begins at 3 pm and check-out is before noon, and early check-in and late check-out carry fees.
Location and what to do nearby
This is a very good base for art and culture. The Museum of Fine Arts and its neighbouring galleries are a short walk, Crescent Street's bars and restaurants are close, and Mount Royal rises behind McGill. For winter visits, the Underground City entrance one minute away means you can reach shops, food courts and metro lines without a coat. Peel station is the nearest metro, with the orange and green lines giving fast links to the old town and the Plateau.
Practical notes
Confirm the current status of rooms, the pool and the restaurants with the hotel or on the booking page before you travel. The pool is seasonal, so it is not available in winter, while the indoor hot tub and the gym are there year-round. Larger suites suit families or groups, and the two-bedroom options give a lot of space for the money. Parking is convenient but charged per night and height-restricted, so check your vehicle.
Who it suits
Art lovers, business travellers, families who want space and visitors who want to be close to McGill and the Golden Square Mile. It is less suited to those seeking boutique design, a spa or an old-town setting. Check the rate details and the pet policy before you book.
