Hôtel William Gray
Upscale urban design hotel. The glass-and-masonry exterior signals the contrast inside: historic stone walls and cathedral ceilings sit alongside gray marble, Frette linens, and Le Labo toiletries. The crowd skews creative and well-traveled. Art by Montreal native Steven Spazuk appears in every room.
The Residence (975 sq ft + 385 sq ft terrace) cannot be booked online — call or email reservations directly
Why It Matters
One of the most architecturally distinctive hotels in Montreal — a genuine heritage-meets-contemporary fusion that actually works. Two rooftop terraces, an underground spa with Montreal's only Himalayan salt room, a dry-age beef display at the restaurant entrance, and a boutique streetwear store (Off the Hook) in the lobby.
Hotel William Gray is two 18th-century heritage buildings — Maison Edward-William Gray and Maison Cherrier — fused with a contemporary glass addition into one sharp design hotel in the heart of Old Montreal. Opened in 2016, it runs 127 rooms across four distinct categories, anchored by a sun-drenched two-story atrium called 'the Living Room' stocked with a full bar, pool table, vinyl collection, and a library. Named the 5th best hotel in Canada by Condé Nast Traveler 2025, and ranked #1 on TripAdvisor in Montreal.
Where You'll Stay
11 room types available
Alcove King
Same artful Alcove category, king configuration. At 230–265 sq ft these are cozy. Multi-jet rain shower and writing desk. Accessible rooms available. Good value entry point for solo travelers or couples who prioritize location over room size.
King
Alcove Queen
The entry-level rooms — intimate, artfully designed, and genuinely beautiful. Queen bed, multi-jet rain shower, and writing desk. Accessible rooms available. These sit in the contemporary glass wing. Compact at 235–315 sq ft, but thoughtfully laid out.
Queen
Alcove Suite
A step up in the Alcove category with lovely views of Old Montreal. King bed and writing desk, plus a large bathroom with double vanities, multi-jet shower, and separate bathtub. Only two of these exist in the hotel, so book early.
King
Alcove Suite Corner
An iconic corner room with views over Old Montreal and the river. King bed plus a sofa bed (sleeps up to 4), writing desk, double vanities, multi-jet shower, and separate bathtub. Only two available. One of the best value suites in the building.

The hotel's mid-tier workhorse — more spacious than the Alcove, emblematic of the William Gray style. King bed, multi-jet rain shower, writing desk. Some rooms include bathtubs. Accessible rooms available on request.
King
Deluxe King Balcony
On the 4th and 6th floors, with a furnished private balcony. King bed, multi-jet shower, writing desk. Note: these rooms don't have a view beyond the balcony — good for fresh air, not for skyline watching. Some rooms include bathtubs.
King
Deluxe King View
Located on the upper floors of the hotel's contemporary wing with wonderful city views. King bed, multi-jet rain shower, and writing desk. Slightly smaller than the standard Deluxe King but the views compensate. Can be paired with an adjacent Deluxe King View for extra space.

Deluxe Suite
The Deluxe Suite is the full package in the contemporary wing: separate living area with pull-out sofa bed, a large furnished terrace with views of historic Old Montreal, heated bathroom floors, bathtub, heated towel rack, double vanity, and two TVs. Sleeps up to 4.
KingMaison William Gray King
These are the rooms that make Hotel William Gray genuinely unique. Located in the historic 18th-century Maison William Gray wing, they come with either original stone walls or cathedral ceilings — contemporary furnishings, white linens, the full modern kit, but inside bones that are centuries old. Can be adjoined with another Maison King room.
KingMaison William Gray Suite
A suite-sized take on the heritage Maison wing. Separate bedroom and living room, each with its own TV. Spacious bathroom with bathtub. The 18th-century architecture — stone or vaulted ceilings — makes this one of the most atmospheric stays in Old Montreal.
