First look: Moxy Montreal Downtown is the city's hippest new hotel
Moxy Montreal Downtown, nestled between Griffintown and Old Montreal, is all of this and more.
This new hotel opening marks the debut of the Moxy brand in Quebec and is the 300th Marriott property in Canada.
Montreal is home to its fair share of incredible hotels, including one of the best in the world.
After the recent publication of the world's 100 best new hotels list which did not feature a single Canadian property, the opening of Montreal's newest hotel begs the question: Is Moxy Canada's best new design hotel?
Just steps from Montreal's downtown core, and a 9-minute walk from landmarks like the Montreal Eaton Centre and Time Out Market Montréal, it's easy to see why everyone is talking about this stylish new hotel.
Developed in partnership with Montreal-based RIMAP Hospitality, the hotel is located on Saint-Jacques Street, just steps from Old Montreal and near major streets like Sainte-Catherine and Notre-Dame.
True to the Moxy brand's bold spirit, the hotel features 216 smartly designed rooms, collaborative work areas, and a lively bar-restaurant and lounge.
Blending contemporary comfort with a playful, energetic vibe, Moxy Montreal Downtown stands out for its eye-catching design, personalized service, and dynamic social spaces.
Bold design comes to life through eclectic furnishings and locally inspired artwork, including subway car–themed murals on each floor created by the Montreal-based, women-led firm Design is Yummy.
Guests will also spot nods to the city's iconic landmarks, from the metro to the Ferris wheel and beyond.
Throughout the hotel, unexpected design touches—like a dramatic mirror installation suspended from the lobby ceiling (check out footage of the exclusive tour below) and a sculptural spiral staircase—capture Montreal's inventive, offbeat spirit.
A mirrored, neon-lit tunnel connecting one part of the hotel to the other is the Instagram background of our dreams.
The elegant pool, bookended by a hot tub and sauna, has stunning views of the Montreal skyline (pool flamingos included).
And the gleaming gym that looks out at the iconic Farine Five Roses sign made us actually want to work out.
Time Out Tip: You need to experience the hotel's elevators. If you know, you know.

A new A24 movie with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score is coming to streaming this week
In cinephile circles, A24 has become a symbol of quality for a certain kind of movie: edgy, thought-provoking, stylistically bold, yet still broadly accessible. Think Ex Machina, Hereditary, Moonlight and Everything Everywhere All At Once. The studio and film distributor has grown ubiquitous enough to attract some mockery from some corners of the movie world, but it's hard to argue with the success rate. Its run has continued with more recent critical and commercial hits like The Brutalist, Materialists and Friendship. Now, one of the most acclaimed A24 films of the last few months is hitting streaming – and it might be one you haven't even heard of. On Becoming a Guinea Fowl, by director Rungano Nyoni, is a surreal dark comedy set in the filmmaker's home country of Zambia. One night, a woman named Shula (Susan Chardy) comes across a dead body on the side of the road: her uncle's. As funeral preparations commence, the narrative flashes back and forth, revealing the dark secrets of Shula's middle-class family. The film – Nyoni's second, after 2017's I Am Not a Witch – currently holds a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score and an 87 rating on Metacritic. Time Out's own review describes the movie as 'thought-provoking' and 'visually arresting'. It's available to stream on HBO Max starting this Friday, July 4. Two more widely seen, if less lauded, A24 releases are also premiering on HBO Max this month. Opus, starring Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich, arrives July 11. The thriller follows a young journalist (Edebiri) who's invited to a listening party for the new album from an enigmatic pop star turned possible cult leader (Malkovich). Later in the month comes Death of a Unicorn, a horror satire in which a father and daughter (Jason Bateman and Jenna Ortega) accidentally strike and kill the titular mythical beast with their car, incurring the wrath of its parents. The movie hits the streamer on July 25.

"8 years later and honestly this job, has changed my life." Clair continued: "It's true what they all said at the beginning, EastEnders is one big family & I'm so lucky to have met and worked with some amazing people. "I will always have an attachment to Bernie, she represents so many girls out there who wear their heart of their sleeves and don't quite fit in…no offence to anyone who wear purple coats… Advertisement "I have adored playing her and she will forever hold a special place in my heart. "This has been the best first role ever!!!" EastEnders fans stunned to spot iconic show star in Australian TV ad after she relocated Down Under Bernie departed on-screen alongside her cousin Felix Baker.
