Character and identity
A tall silver tower on Sherbrooke Street in the Golden Mile, this 258-room Sofitel emerged from a studs-up renovation in 2025 looking more polished than it has in years. The design language is minimalist and playful: bright pops of colour, strong contemporary art in every room, and Victorian accents drawn from the estate of railway pioneer William Cornelius Van Horne. Rooms run warm thanks to marble bathrooms, down comforters, Hermès toiletries and floor-to-ceiling windows. Renoir, the in-house restaurant, has been reborn as a light-filled solarium where chef Olivier Perret cooks Quebec seasonal produce through a French lens.
Who's it for
Best for:
Professionals and design-minded couples who want a central Montreal base with serious cooking on site. The window-facing desks, free Wi-Fi, plush signature beds and walkable Sherbrooke Street address make it a natural pick for solo business travellers, and the art-forward interiors reward guests who notice the details.
Should look elsewhere:
Families wanting a resort experience, pool deck or kids' programming will find this an urban business hotel at heart. Travellers chasing a quintessentially Québécois boutique with local character may prefer Old Montreal addresses; this is a contemporary international flag, recently refreshed.
Bottom line
The strongest reason to book here is the combination of a 2025 top-to-bottom renovation and Renoir's kitchen, which together make this the most current expression of the Golden Mile address. Splurge on a higher floor for the floor-to-ceiling city views, build in a dinner at Renoir (the foie gras starter is the move), and target the post-renovation rate window before it settles upward.
