MONTREAL — The new Four Seasons Hotel Montreal is now taking reservations for its spring 2019 debut.

The 169-room property is located downtown in the upscale west end at the foot of Mount Royal. Connected to Holt Renfrew Ogilvy, and a 10-minute walk to the Bell Centre, five minutes by car from the train station and 20 minutes from the airport, the hotel is ideally located for international visitors, regional weekenders and business travellers, says the company.

In addition to MARCUS restaurant and bar, Chef Marcus Samuelsson’s first restaurant in Canada, the hotel will have a spa (billed as the only urban spa in Montreal to offer Kneipp Water Therapy), fitness centre, a skylit indoor pool and a fifth floor ballroom with outdoor terrace.

Accommodations including 19 suites range from Deluxe Guest Rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and sparkling views of Montreal’s Golden Square Mile, Premiere Carré Doré and Premiere Rooms with glass doors that open up beside each bed to a free-standing bathtub, and the two-bedroom Presidential Suite on the hotel’s highest floor, with a sleek living area featuring a dining table for eight.
