Holiday Inn Montreal Centre Ville Downtown by IHG
Wellness facilities across from the Convention Centre
About this hotel
Holiday Inn Montreal Centre Ville Downtown sits directly across from the Convention Centre and pairs that central position with a genuinely fuller wellness offering than most hotels nearby: an indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and massage facilities all on site. Rooms include a cable TV, desk, and coffee maker, practical for a working race weekend, while the on-site restaurant Chez Chine covers dinner without a search downtown. Chinatown sits under five minutes' walk away, Old Montreal's shops a single block further, and the Underground City is a twelve-minute walk for guests wanting to reach the metro without exposure to street-level weather. It is twenty minutes' drive from the airport, useful context for planning arrival before the Grand Prix weekend begins.
- Indoor pool

- On-site restaurant
- Near Convention Centre
Our take
This suits fans who want genuine recovery amenities, hot tub and sauna included, without paying full spa-hotel rates, plus a central location across from the Convention Centre. The wellness facilities go beyond a token gym. Fans prioritizing the shortest possible walk to a Yellow Line station might find a station-adjacent property more convenient for the daily circuit commute.
- ✓Use the hot tub and sauna after a long day trackside, since this property's wellness offering goes further than most in its category downtown.
- ✓Eat at the on-site restaurant Chez Chine at least once, saving a search for dinner during the busiest week of Montreal's calendar.
- ✓Walk to the Underground City for weather-proof metro access when heading toward Jean-Drapeau, especially useful on a hot or rainy June day.
Why we love it
- Indoor pool with hot tub and sauna
- Massage facilities available for genuine race-day recovery
- Steps from Chinatown and Old Montreal
- Underground City access twelve minutes away
Why guests love itThe sauna after our first full day at the circuit made a real difference to how our legs felt the next morning, better than any race weekend we'd taken before without it. Being a block from Old Montreal's shops gave us somewhere easy to wander on our one evening without race commitments. We'd choose this again for the wellness setup alone next time we're back for the race.
