Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Montréal

52 stays · 35 aparthotels and 17 serviced apartments

Montréal fills up with festival-goers in summer, conference delegates and students' families during term, and people on work assignments all year. Aparthotels and serviced apartments in Montréal suit those stays well: a kitchen lets you make the most of the city's public markets, a separate living area helps on a work trip, and in a winter that brings around two metres of snow a season, a comfortable base to return to matters more than usual.

Where to stay in Montréal

Old Montréal

  • first-time visitors
  • couples
  • history

Old Montréal has narrow streets and buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, with the Old Port and its riverside promenade alongside. It is the most visited part of the city and busy in summer, but quieter streets are a block or two away. The orange line stops at Place-d'Armes and Champ-de-Mars.

Downtown (Centre-ville)

  • business travel
  • shopping
  • winter stays

Downtown is built around Rue Sainte-Catherine and is home to McGill University, Concordia's main campus and many offices. The underground RÉSO network links metro stations, shopping centres and office buildings, which is a real advantage in January. Both the green and orange metro lines run through it.

Quartier des spectacles

  • festivals
  • culture
  • nightlife

This is the city's entertainment district around Place des Arts, and the main stage for the Jazz Festival in summer and Montréal en lumière in late winter. It sits between Downtown and the Latin Quarter, with Place-des-Arts and Saint-Laurent stations on the green line.

Plateau Mont-Royal

  • long stays
  • food
  • cycling

North of downtown and east of Mount Royal park, the Plateau is a residential area of cafés, restaurants and independent shops, and, with neighbouring Mile End, the area where the most people walk or cycle for day-to-day travel. It suits a longer stay where you want to live like a local, with orange-line stations such as Sherbrooke, Mont-Royal and Laurier.

Griffintown

  • long stays
  • modern apartments
  • canal walks

Part of the South West borough, Griffintown is a former industrial area that has been redeveloped with new residential buildings. It is close to the Lachine Canal and within reach of the Atwater Market, and walking distance from Downtown and Old Montréal.

Getting around Montréal

From Montréal-Trudeau (YUL), the STM 747 bus runs 24 hours a day, every day. One route runs to Lionel-Groulx metro station, and the other runs into downtown, ending near Berri-UQAM station; buses use a reserved lane to bypass traffic. The airport ticket also works as a 24-hour pass on the bus, metro, exo trains and REM in Zone A. A REM light-metro station at the airport is expected to open in 2027.

The metro has four colour-coded lines, with interchanges at Snowdon, Lionel-Groulx, Berri-UQAM and Jean-Talon. The REM is a newer automated, mostly above-ground line. For short hops in the warmer months, BIXI is the city's bike-share system, with more than 800 stations across much of the city.

Load fares onto a rechargeable OPUS card, which takes weekly and monthly passes for Zone A, or use the Chrono app. Children aged 11 and under ride free with an older companion.

Living in Montréal for longer

The covered public markets make self-catering easy: Jean-Talon Market in La Petite-Patrie and Atwater Market in the South West both sell local produce, cheese and baked goods. For a month or more, a monthly OPUS pass usually makes more sense than single tickets.

Pick a base by season. In winter, an apartment near a metro station or linked to the RÉSO saves a lot of time outdoors; in summer, the Plateau and Mile End are pleasant for walking and cycling.

When to visit Montréal

Winters are long and cold, with a January daily mean of about −9°C and over two metres of snow in a typical season. Summers are warm, with July highs averaging around 27°C and the odd heatwave above 30°C. Precipitation is spread evenly through the year, and late spring and early autumn are comfortable for walking.

The festival calendar starts early: the Formula 1 Grand Prix in late May, the International Jazz Festival from late June into early July, Just for Laughs in July and Pride around the turn of July and August. In winter, Igloofest runs in January and February at the Old Port, and Montréal en lumière lights up the Quartier des spectacles from late February into March. Central stays book up early around these dates.

The city is French-speaking and easy to navigate by metro, and much of downtown is linked by the indoor RÉSO network, so you can choose an area by atmosphere rather than by distance. If you are touring further, Québec City and Ottawa are the usual next stops.
