LHotel Montreal
Pop Art Meets Old-World Elegance
A Bank Built for Art Lovers
Nestled in the heart of Old Montreal, LHotel occupies a grand 1870s former bank building—a majestic backdrop for one of the city’s most unique boutique hotels. The soaring ceilings, ornate moldings, and original architectural details of this Second Empire structure offer a dramatic stage for a truly unexpected twist: a rotating private art collection that rivals any gallery in the city.
The Art of Hospitality
Owner Georges Marciano, co-founder of Guess Jeans and an avid collector, has turned the hotel into a living art museum. Over 250 pieces of modern and contemporary art fill the hallways and common areas, featuring works by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring, Robert Rauschenberg, and many more. It’s an eclectic and energizing mix, where bold pop art rubs shoulders with classical architectural flourishes.
Rooms with Personality
Each of the 56 guest rooms and suites combines rich heritage bones—think tall windows, original plasterwork, and hardwood floors—with modern furnishings and vibrant art accents. The style is confident and character-filled, blending velvet, leather, and polished wood with playful design touches. Some rooms even feature original pieces from the collection, making each stay a little different from the next.
A Cultural Address in Old Montreal
Just steps from Notre-Dame Basilica, the Old Port, and the cobblestone streets of the city’s most atmospheric quarter, LHotel is perfectly placed for soaking in Montreal’s charm. After a day of wandering galleries and grabbing poutine from local cafés, come back and sip a cocktail at the hotel’s chic lobby bar—where a Jeff Koons sculpture might be your drinking companion.
DNA Hotels Verdict
A bold, design-forward stay that brings serious art cred to a historic address. LHotel Montreal is more than a boutique hotel—it’s an immersive cultural experience wrapped in gilded bones, Warhol wit and a touch of Wes Anderson.
