Humaniti Hotel Montreal is one of the newest big hotels in the city, opened in 2021 at 340 Rue De La Gauchetiere Ouest in the downtown core. It is part of Marriott's Autograph Collection and has 193 rooms. The location is its selling point for winter and for convenience: the Underground City is one minute away on foot, the Montreal Convention Centre is two minutes away, Square-Victoria metro station is four minutes away, and Place des Arts, Sainte-Catherine Street and Notre-Dame Basilica are all within about five to eight minutes' walk. Facilities are generous for a downtown hotel, with an outdoor pool open during the day, a gym, a spa, an on-site restaurant and bar and a coffee shop. A continental breakfast is available for a fee, and Wifi is free in all rooms. Rooms are named in a playful series, for example Hop, Halo and Helio, with sizes from about 330 to 380 square feet, and corner rooms, junior suites, larger suites and a presidential suite sit above them. Parking is by valet, charged per night, and dogs are welcome with a fee and a deposit per stay. Check-in is from 4 pm and check-out is before noon.
Why stay here
It sits between Old Montreal and downtown, so you can walk to the old town in minutes and use the Underground City to reach the metro and shops without going outside. That makes it a good choice for first-time visitors, business travellers and anyone in Montreal in January or July, when a covered route is a pleasure.
The outdoor pool is a rare feature in a city hotel, though its hours are limited, so check them against your plans. The convention centre next door makes it practical for conferences, and the hotel can be busy during large events.
The rooms and the neighbourhood
The corner rooms give more light and city views, and the two-queen rooms suit families or friends. The suites are the choice for longer stays. Downtown streets are lively by day and quieter in the evening, but Place des Arts and the Quartier des Spectacles are about five minutes away, and the restaurants of Old Montreal are a short walk. If you are driving, note that the valet parking is charged by the night and fills up in busy periods.
Who it suits
Couples, business guests and families who want modern rooms with a pool, a spa and an easy base for sightseeing. It is less suited to travellers who want the historic stone-and-timber atmosphere of a boutique hotel in the old town, for which Hotel Gault or Hotel Saint-Sulpice are better fits. Check the rate details for breakfast, parking and the pet fee, and the exact pool hours, before you book.
