Hotel Europa, BW Signature Collection
Ten minutes from the Museum of Fine Arts
About this hotel
Hotel Europa sits in Montreal's business district only moments from the Bell Centre event venue, a genuinely central position for a Grand Prix stay wanting downtown convenience without a premium rate. A cable TV, work desk, and coffee machine are standard in every room, and a fitness centre covers a basic workout between race days. The on-site Chez Cora restaurant serves breakfast and lunch, and a bar rounds out the evening options without leaving the building. The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is about ten minutes' walk away, and Notre-Dame Basilica just two minutes' drive further, keeping both culture and downtown's core attractions within easy reach for a rest day.

Our take
This suits fans wanting a straightforward, well-located downtown hotel near the Bell Centre without paying for a full-service spa or rooftop pool they won't use. The location near the Museum of Fine Arts is a genuine plus. Fans specifically chasing wellness amenities should look toward a property tagged for spa or pool access instead.
- ✓Eat breakfast at the on-site Chez Cora before heading to an early session, saving a search for an open downtown cafe.
- ✓Walk to the Museum of Fine Arts on a rest afternoon, about ten minutes away and a genuinely worthwhile detour.
- ✓Use the fitness centre for a basic workout between race days, a practical option without needing a full spa visit.

Why guests love itBeing moments from the Bell Centre made this an easy hotel to navigate back to after a long day, even with downtown crowds thicker than usual during Grand Prix week. Breakfast at Chez Cora before an early session saved us from the cafe queues everyone else downtown seemed to be stuck in. It was a simple, well-located stay that never felt like it was trying too hard.
