About this hotel
Auberge du Vieux Port by Gray Collection overlooks the Saint Lawrence River in Old Montreal, five minutes' walk from the Montreal Science Center, with views of the Old Port built into the stay itself. Rustic, uniquely decorated guest rooms include free WiFi and a cable TV, with multi-jet showers and bathrobes for a touch of comfort after a long day. The on-site Taverne Gaspar serves burgers, fish, and a wide selection of beer and wine, and breakfast is served every morning at the property. Concierge services and valet parking run 24 hours a day, and the Montreal History Center and Centaur Theater are both a ten-minute walk away, with subway access less than a block from the door.

Our take
This suits fans wanting genuine waterfront character in Old Montreal, river views and a historic building, alongside 24-hour valet parking that solves the driving question entirely. The on-site restaurant is a real plus for evenings in. Fans prioritizing the shortest metro ride to Jean-Drapeau might weigh Old Montreal's distance from the Yellow Line before booking.
- ✓Use the 24-hour valet parking if driving in, since it covers arrivals and departures at any hour during Grand Prix week.
- ✓Eat at the on-site Taverne Gaspar at least once, saving a search for dinner in Old Montreal's busiest week of the year.
- ✓Walk to the Montreal Science Center on a rest afternoon, just five minutes away and an easy break from circuit crowds.

Why guests love itWaking up to the river view every morning made this feel like a genuine Montreal trip rather than just another downtown hotel stop between race sessions. The 24-hour valet meant we never worried about parking timing, and dinner at the on-site tavern became our regular spot after long circuit days. It's the kind of stay that made the whole weekend feel like more than just a race trip.
