Hotel Details

Location

On Charlotte Street, the property is steps from UQAM and a short walk to Place des Arts, Old Port, and the vibrant Rue St. Catherine.
Positioned in the heart of downtown Montreal, the aparthotel provides excellent walkability to major cultural venues, including the Museum of Contemporary Art (600 m), Place des Arts (8-minute walk), and Old Port of Montreal (18-minute walk). Quartier Latin, Gay Village, and Chinatown are all within 5-15 minutes on foot. The immediate area is residential with a noticeable presence of unhoused individuals; the building has security measures including CCTV and an intercom entry system. The Metro station is also nearby, making car-free city access straightforward. Despite the central location, the street itself is relatively calm, with most activity concentrated on main boulevards.

Accommodation

Studio, one-bedroom, and quadruple suites all feature air-conditioning, soundproof walls, full kitchens, and private bathrooms.
Each unit is modern and spacious, with large windows providing natural light and city views. The kitchen includes a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, kitchenware, and a tea and coffee maker, allowing for self-catering. Living areas have a dining table and seating, while the media setup offers a flat-screen TV with streaming services. Bed configurations vary: studios have one bed, one-bedroom apartments offer a separate bedroom and living room, and quadruple suites sleep up to four guests with two beds. Additional amenities include a washing machine, dryer, ironing facilities, and free toiletries. Some units may differ slightly from the photos shown online. Upper-floor apartments away from the street tend to be quieter.

Dining

The property has no on-site restaurant or breakfast service, but the fully equipped kitchen allows for self-catering with groceries from nearby supermarkets.
With a supermarket within easy walking distance and a kitchen including a full-sized fridge, stovetop, and dishwasher, guests can conveniently prepare their own meals. The area also offers a wide variety of dining options within 0.5 km, including Allo Mon Coco, Accords Bistro, Gauffre Mignonne, Kitchen 73, and several others. For those who prefer eating out, Chinatown, the Gay Village, and Rue St. Catherine are a 5-15 minute walk, offering numerous restaurants and cafés. No breakfast or meal service is provided on-site.

Wellness and Leisure

The property offers a workout area for guests, but no pool or spa; Clock Tower Beach is 2 km away for outdoor recreation.
For leisure, an on-site workout area is available for guest use without additional charge. The nearby Clock Tower Beach (2 km) provides a waterfront option for swimming and sunbathing during warmer months. An ice-skating rink is located in the vicinity for winter activities. The surrounding area is lively, with board games/puzzles available in the apartment for in-room entertainment. The property's central location also puts guests within walking distance of numerous festivals and events held in Place des Arts and Old Port.
