Four years after the celebrated opening of Metcalfe Ottawa, Gray Collection has expanded the brand with the arrival of Metcalfe Montréal — what it calls a contemporary, light‑filled address crafted for a new generation of travelers: aesthetic, curious, demanding, and deeply urban.
Ideally located in the heart of downtown, Metcalfe Montréal redefines the downtown boutique‑hotel standard and offers a strategic base for business guests — close to major office towers, transit connections, and the city’s key commercial arteries — while also placing leisure travelers steps away from Montréal’s dining, shopping, and cultural highlights, said the company.
The hotel blends the ease and practicality of an ultra-central location with a warm, modern atmosphere designed for comfort, inspiration, and effortless escape. Here, design, culture, and gastronomy converge in a space conceived as an inspiring refuge for those who live, create, and work at the city’s rhythm, it said.
With 119 rooms dressed in warm tones, natural materials, and minimalist lines, Metcalfe Montréal offers modern comfort and a calming aesthetic in the heart of downtown. Outside, an urban outdoor pool provides a rare moment of relaxation in the city — a simple yet precious luxury that gives the property an unexpected micro‑resort feel, it added.
“Metcalfe Montréal reflects the natural evolution of our vision: a contemporary, human‑centered hotel rooted in the daily life of Montrealers as much as in that of travelers,” said Dimitri Antonopoulos, President of Gray Collection.
At the heart of the experience is Benjamin, one of downtown’s most distinctive restaurants. A modern Parisian steakhouse — a rarity in Montréal — where European elegance meets the city’s contemporary energy. Already a favorite among locals, Benjamin stands out with its exceptional grilled dishes, bright and sophisticated ambiance, morning‑to‑night energy, and a unique cocktail program, said the Gray Collection.
“At Gray Collection, restaurants do not simply complement the hotel — they define it. Benjamin becomes the true gateway into the Metcalfe Montréal experience, both for Montrealers and for travelers,” it explained.
“Metcalfe Montréal also offers event and meeting spaces accommodating up to 75 guests in cocktail format — a rare competitive advantage for a boutique hotel of this size, paired with an elevated culinary offering for attendees. Bathed in natural light, these spaces are designed for creative meetings, corporate workshops, press launches, and intimate private events.
“A lively, modern, and deeply rooted in Montréal property, Metcalfe Montréal is more than a hotel — it is a new signature address for downtown. A brighter, more modern, more local expression of high end‑ hospitality, powered by Gray Collection, a group that continues to shape the art of hosting in Canada.”
The company said the new Montréal address builds on Gray Collection’s momentum. In the 2025 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, every hotel in the portfolio ranked among the top five in Eastern Canada — with Auberge du Vieux Port‑ at #2, Metcalfe Ottawa at #3, Le Petit Hôtel at #4, and William Gray at #5 — and Le Petit Hôtel earning a One Michelin Key for the second consecutive year.
