In the heart of the action

Montréal is a vibrant city, hosting a number of international cultural and sporting events throughout the year. The Hôtel de l’Institut is strategically located a stone’s throw from the Quartier des Spectacles. You will be in the heart of the action for most major events, and within walking distance of the concerts, shows and films presented by the biggest festivals. During the Formula 1 Grand Prix, hop on the metro and within a few minutes, you will be surrounded by the electrifying atmosphere at circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.
