Four Seasons Hotel Montreal Review

Overview: What is Four Seasons Hotel Montreal?

The Four Seasons Hotel Montreal opened in May 2019 as the anchor of a redeveloped Golden Square Mile block. Montreal firms Lemay and Sid Lee Architecture designed the dark-glass tower; Paris-based Gilles and Boissier did the interiors in white marble, gold elevators, and pink and grey velvet. The property also includes 18 Four Seasons Private Residences and direct indoor access to the newly opened Holt Renfrew Ogilvy.

Food and drink

Marcus Restaurant and Terrace is chef Marcus Samuelsson's first Canadian project: a reinvented brasserie focused on sustainable seafood, a raw bar, and local produce. Marcus Bar and Lounge handles cocktails. Interiors for both were done by Montreal firm Atelier Zebulon Perron.

Design and architecture

The exterior is a sleek, dark-glass tower that contrasts with the Victorian architecture around it. Inside, white marble, gold, and pink and grey velvet walls create a sensual, intentionally touch-inviting environment. The five-star spa and the Social Square are the signature spaces.
