The Gault is a boutique hotel housed in an historic building built in 1871. The hotel lies in the heart of Old Montreal, just steps away from the downtown and the convention center. In contrast to the exterior of this landmark building, inside, The Gault features a minimalist style. Together, they create an incomparable communion of old-world comfort and luxurious contemporary design. Furnished with classic 20th-century pieces, The Gault experience is enhanced by huge French windows that flood each of the 30 suites with natural light and create a radiant atmosphere. All the rooms are open-plan and equipped with Mondrian custom oak cabinetry. Province of Quebec establishment registration number is 177096

It's my final night at the Gault; I don't want to leave. It's a wonderful hotel: the staff go above and beyond and it's a beautiful historic building that is clean and well maintained. I can't speak more highly of The Gault and look forward to coming back.

Top notch hotel and staff. Emma was super helpful and very professional. We would definitely stay there again. The location in old Montreal was excellent with easy access to great coffee shops, restaurants, museums, and the water front. The room was clean and spacious-- we liked the modern interior design in a backdrop of a gorgeous old world setting.

A wonderful stay over Christmas in magical Montreal. The minute we entered the lobby it smelt incredible, like cinnamon, spice and Christmas! Beautiful decor and a spacious lobby area that also doubles as their breakfast/brunch area. The front desk staff were always pleasant, especially Estrella who assisted us with restaurant recommendations. The room, the Deluxe Suite, was located on the second floor and it was gorgeous! Super modern with a big comfy bed, big soaking bathtub, heated bathroom floors, a desk, lots of cupboard space and a mini fridge. The bed was comfortable. The tub was so nice, especially after a day of exploring Montreal. Everything is pretty much within walking distance, with the hôtel located in old Montreal, close to the water, restaurants, shops and attractions. The breakfast we had included in the room, omg, amazing! We ended up eating in our room each morning and choosing a different dish off the breakfast menu each day. Breakfast ends, I think, at 10:30am but on weekends they do a brunch that goes a bit later. There is no lunch or dinner service here, that we were aware of, but with so many restaurants near by you won’t go hungry! We did enjoy a wine and a beer Christmas night downstairs, in the lounge area, by the fire - that was lovely and we had the whole place to ourselves. There’s no bad to this hotel, but for awareness, there are steps leading up from the street into the lobby, which can be a bit entertaining to navigate with luggage… they did help us with our luggage when they heard us coming in so if you need assistance we suggest heading in to ask for help first. Also, and this seems to be a canadien thing, the pillows are so soft, maybe feather stuffed, so maybe ask for different ones if you like a bit more firmness. Would definitely recommend a stay at Hotel Gault!

A really smart, friendly hotel with luxurious beds and warm rooms and suites. It's in a perfect location, with the road quiet enough to mean hopping in and out of cabs was stress-free. But close enough to all the major locations of Montréal. I stayed in the apartment which was capacious and beautifully fitted. The hotel is really chic, with great photography on the walls - but not "too much." It was a really relaxing, inspiring environment to spend some time.

Get a room on the top floor with a veranda. It feels like an apartment. Two blocks from Notre Dame and Old Montreal. Very professional, friendly staff and spotless rooms. Thank you Hotel Gault for the room upgrade ❤️❤️. My daughter has brain cancer and her wish was to see Montreal and Quebec City decorated for Christmas. This is the best boutique hotel!

Hotel Gault is elegant, intimate, well-designed and perfectly situated in the Old Town area of Montreal. The staff is friendly and welcoming and the rooms are beautiful, well-appointed and spacious with comfortable beds and lovely bathrooms. We have stayed in their Junior Suite and Apartment accommodations, but the other available room types all look lovely having seen some when friends and family stayed, as well. Montreal is a wonderful city with incredible culture, shopping and dining. Old Town is particularly lovely and our favorite place to stay when we visit. Hôtel Gault has become our go-to for accommodations in the city. Highly recommend.

We went to Montreal to meet another couple and were very impressed with the Hotel Gault. From being met by a valet at the curb to being checked in by manager Nickolas until the time we left. The rooms were spacious and the food was wonderful, to include gluten free options... The proximity to sightseeing and restaurants was fabulous.

As a frequent worldwide traveler, I have decades of experience in hotel hospitality and can generally find an area where something is lacking or upgrades are needed, even in five star locations. Not the case with Hotel Gault. My stay was flawless and completely enjoyable. The location is excellent, on a quiet street in Vieux Montreal, unlike many of the other fine hotels which were on a busy thoroughfare. Receptionists were helpful, the room spacious and serene, there was ample lighting (this is one of my pet peeves in a hotel, poor lighting especially bedside) and storage, wonderful bath products and a large bottle of mineral water each night at turndown. I could not find a single thing that was lacking. Wonderful hotel, all around.

This is the first business tirp since the pandemic and I decided to return to Hotel Gault given the familiarity and it's location in Vieux Montreal, inspite many inconvenience such as major effort to take luggage up the many stairs, no lunch or dinner service unless you want to order from a very limited menu (more on that later). We have stayed at this hotel since its grand opening years ago. While on biz trips I tend to go more mainstream with W or Ritz, the old Montreal location is always a draw. That was a mistaken assumption in both - overall Vieux Montreal has suffered from the pandemic and there are more boarded up fronts and homeless. The hotel is the same except it is tired in every way - art work, decor, carpet, scent, cleanness, and service. I stayed at 370 junior Suite for 4 nights and there was always this lingering urine smell in the room that I had to open the balcony door to air out. Carpet is stained and lamp had spider web on, bathroom belt loop is broken. After one particularly long work day I decided to order dinner from the very limited room service menu. I called down and put on hold instantly and waited for nearly ten minutes. Someone by the name of Brittany said there are only two of them at the front desk checking people in and they are overwhelmed (FYI, there are typically 2-3 people at even conference hotels checking people in) and she cannot take my order because she needed to take care of clients (I am not client, paying for four nights?) I had to go out to get a bite and whne I walked by the front desk I pointed it out to her and another guy working there, blank stare and another to compensate for this awful experience. This is not to say there are good people working there. The lady who came for the turndown service is super nice. The other people at the front desk are friendly and helpful, eiht very little ego (unlike the big burly guy) or better trained on client facing issues than Brittany. The restaurant staff are absolutely pleasant during breakfast. But the overall experience is nothing like before. The property has peaked.
