Hôtel Monroe - Downtown Montreal
Rooftop pool and hammam near the Museum of Fine Arts
About this hotel
Hotel Monroe pairs an aparthotel layout, full kitchen included, with a genuinely rare wellness combination for downtown Montreal: a rooftop swimming pool, sauna, hot tub, and hammam all on site. The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is a four-minute walk away, and the Bell Centre sits under a kilometre from the property, keeping the location central despite its residential apartment feel. Each unit includes air conditioning, a balcony, and a washing machine, practical for a multi-day stay where laundry becomes a real consideration by day three. The surrounding area offers an ice-skating rink and boating activities for a rest day beyond downtown's core race-weekend buzz. Highly rated for its convenient location and well-equipped kitchen facilities among past guests.

Our take
This suits fans wanting both apartment-style space and genuinely elevated wellness amenities, the rooftop pool and hammam combination is rare at this scale downtown. The kitchen adds real flexibility across a multi-day stay. Fans wanting a traditional hotel service model, daily housekeeping and a full-service front desk, might prefer a standard hotel over this aparthotel format.
- ✓Use the hammam or sauna after a long day standing trackside, a genuinely rare recovery amenity for a downtown Montreal aparthotel.
- ✓Take advantage of the kitchen for at least one meal a day, especially useful by the third day of a Grand Prix trip.
- ✓Do laundry mid-stay using the in-unit washing machine, a real convenience most downtown hotels near the circuit don't offer.
Why we love it
- Rooftop pool with sauna and hammam
- Four minutes from the Museum of Fine Arts
- Full kitchen and balcony in every unit
- In-unit washing machine for longer stays
Why guests love itThe rooftop pool became our evening ritual after every circuit day, genuinely more relaxing than anything a standard hotel gym could offer. Having a full kitchen meant we skipped the search for dinner reservations that everyone else downtown seemed to be fighting over during Grand Prix week. We left Montreal more rested than any past race trip, largely thanks to that rooftop routine every night.
