The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want the top-rated five-star hotel in our Montreal sample, a few minutes from the Museum of Fine Arts, and the price is not your main concern. Most travellers will get far more for their money at our other two picks, which cost a fraction of the rate.

This is our Luxury pick for Montreal. It suits couples on a special trip, families and guests travelling with pets who want a full-service five-star hotel. The property lists a spa and wellness centre, a pool, a restaurant, family rooms, a garden, a terrace and air conditioning, and it is tagged as pet-friendly.
Skip it if you are watching your budget. On our reference dates it cost more than twice the city median and about four times our Best Value pick. If you mainly need a comfortable room close to downtown, the other two picks cover that for much less.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at 1228 Sherbrooke Street West, in the Golden Square Mile. The location score is 9.5 out of 10.
Our straight-line estimates: the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is 0.2 km away, about 3 minutes on foot. Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral is 0.8 km, about 10 minutes. Saint Joseph's Oratory is 3.2 km, roughly 40 minutes on foot. That is far, so plan to use public transport or a taxi for that trip.
Walking times are estimates, not measured routes. Parking and transport links are not confirmed in our data, so check with the hotel if you are driving.
What guests say
The score is 9.6 out of 10 from 145 reviews, the highest in our Montreal sample. The review count is modest, though, so the score rests on fewer stays than at many large hotels.
Our data does not include a summary of specific guest likes or dislikes for this hotel. We cannot tell you what guests praise or criticise most. Read recent reviews yourself, paying attention to comments on rooms, service and value at this price level.
Breakfast options are listed as continental, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, American and buffet. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 13 eligible properties in Montreal. This hotel shared the top position by review score. Our Luxury slot prioritises five-star hotels, and with an official five-star rating and a 9.6 score, it was the clear choice.
It is here because it is the best-rated luxury option, not because it is good value.
