Montreal is the largest city in Quebec, known for its blend of European heritage and North American dynamism. Between Old Montreal with its cobblestone streets, Mount Royal, and a culinary and festival scene among the most active in the country, it can be visited just as well in the summer for its terraces and festivals as in the winter for its atmosphere and Christmas markets.

Airport
Montreal-Trudeau (YUL)
Montreal has dozens of hotels accessible with Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors or Amex Membership Rewards points. The right choice depends mainly on the neighborhood: downtown is suitable for business and shopping, Old Montreal for its heritage atmosphere, and hotels near the airport for a connection or an early morning flight.
Old Montreal offers cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages and the river just steps from your door, at the cost of a slightly longer trip to the main commercial arteries.
For an early morning flight or a connection, these hotels avoid the trip to downtown. They are also suitable for a stay near the bridges to the South Shore.
