The Mercer Boutique Hotel
Aparthotel comfort nine minutes from the Old Port
About this hotel
The Mercer Boutique Hotel offers aparthotel-style rooms with kitchenettes and private bathrooms, each unit including a washing machine and dishwasher, genuinely useful conveniences for a multi-day Grand Prix stay. A lift, 24-hour front desk, concierge service, daily housekeeping, and full-day security round out the property, and free on-site private parking removes a real headache during race week's tightest parking days downtown. The Old Port of Montreal sits nine minutes away and the Montreal Convention Centre under a kilometre, keeping the property central despite its residential apartment feel. Notre Dame Basilica and the Underground City are both nearby too, adding easy options for an evening between sessions. Highly rated among past guests for its convenient location and impeccable room cleanliness.

Our take
This suits fans wanting apartment-style space with hotel-level service, free private parking, full-day security, and daily housekeeping, all built in. The washing machine is a genuine advantage by the third day of a trip. Fans wanting a livelier hotel-bar scene downtown might find the Mercer's quieter, more residential feel less suited to that kind of race weekend.
- ✓Use the free private parking rather than searching for street spots, a real advantage during Grand Prix week's tightest days downtown.
- ✓Do laundry mid-stay with the in-unit washing machine, a genuine convenience most hotels near the circuit simply don't offer.
- ✓Walk to the Old Port on a rest evening, nine minutes away and an easy add-on to an otherwise circuit-focused day.

Why guests love itHaving free parking sorted from the moment we arrived took real stress out of a weekend where everyone else seemed to be circling blocks downtown. The in-unit washing machine meant we packed lighter and didn't think twice about three straight days on our feet at the circuit and around the city. We left with clean laundry and none of the parking stress everyone else downtown described.
