Our suggestions to discover Montreal safely this fall

Discover Montreal differently

The Covid-19 pandemic brought a lot of changes  in our way of traveling. Maybe you are in the situation to ask yourself: is it a good idea to visit and discover Montreal? We can assure that Montreal is still creative and deserves her reputation of being a giant playground full of activities!

This summer, international travelers obviously didn’t have the opportunity to visit Montreal. Therefore, Quebecers and travelers from Canadian provinces had the chance to freely walk along the historic cobblestone streets of Old Montreal. They experienced and discovered Montreal as never before, without crowded streets, just as if Montreal was theirs!

So you too, if you like walking uncrowded streets, and if you would like to discover Montreal on your own, it’s the right time to come to Montreal.

Children are back to school, and you are dreaming of a nice break (which you fully deserve!) ? You would like to relax with your loved one or your family, or just change your mind?

Our new signature: SoSulpice!

SoSulpice! more than a signature, a commitment

It is great pleasure that we present you our new signature: SoSulpice! You might have already seen it on our  social media these last months?

You may wonder, what does SoSulpice! mean?

SoSulpice! is the expression of our DNA, of what built the success of our hotel over the last 17 years.  SoSulpice! is our commitment to making your stay Sodifferent! and Soauthentic!
Experience Montreal the way we would!

SoSulpice! tours

Who better talk about the different Montreal neighborhoods than a Montrealer ? Of course there are plenty of tour guides, blogs, and forums about Montreal. But there are so many things to do, to live that it is an never-ending story ! There is such a huge diversity of attractions in this town that we decided to ask for the contribution of our multicultural team. We asked them to talk about their Montreal, their neighborhoods, their tips and suggestion, because  something we love about Montreal is that everyone has its own preferences and stories about it. It,s unique to each  and veryone of us!

That’s how we created our first SoSulpice! summer tours.

If you have time to go off the beaten track, follow Marie Arfeuille, Sales Manager. She will help you discover the street Art of Montreal. Or you will love her bests Instagrammable spots. Maybe you would be more interested in discovering the Mile-ex, one of most Montreal evolving ‘underground’ and artistic neighborhood by Anne-marie Verville, Events Manager.
Otherwise Vincent Lago, Concierge will guide you through the numerous public artworks in Old Montreal.

If your are looking for others spots, ask our Concierges! They are ‘Les Clefs d’Or’ certified, meaning they graduated as high level experts of Montreal. They are ready to uncover your needs, interests and requests to then help you organize your visit, book tours or restaurants, and so much more.

Since two years now, we are proud partner of Cyclocitoyen.  This organization offers different guided tours throughout the Old Montreal by pedicab.  Once on board, you will explore the rich history of Old Montreal with their knowledgeable drivers who will strongly treadle around the cobblestone streets.

Over the last summer, Cyclocitoyen picked up our guests right in front of the hotel, and our Concierges surprised them with delicious maple pop-corn ( from Les Délices de l’érable ) and fresh  bottles of water for the way! A nice SoSulpice! touch appreciated by our guests.

The Pedicab tours will be back next summer!

One of our many ways to make our guests feel like Montrealers!  We offered two  types of experiences, for 2 to 4 people; a classic picnic basket, and an ‘aperitif’ picnic basket. Being located at a short 2-minute walk from the Old Port of Montreal’s park, it was a natural choice! while booking their basket our guests could ask our concierges their best insider tips and go-to spots in the city. They let them in on where to sit for the best view of the St-Laurent river or where to watch the most beautiful sunset…
