Griffintown is an increasingly buzzy neighborhood, known for its contemporary art scene and characterized by converted warehouses and condo developments. Located in the southwestern part of the city, Griffintown is bordered on one side by the Lachine Canal and blends into the downtown area on the other. As you’re planning your trip to the city, here are some of the best hotels in and around Griffintown, Montreal – now bookable on Culture Trip.

Hotel ALT Montreal is a trendy, boutique choice for your stay in Griffintown. You’ll find spacious rooms that are decorated with contemporary art, colorful accents, and exposed concrete. Here, you’ll be a stone’s throw from Old Montreal, downtown, and the Lachine Canal. There is an on-site rooftop cocktail bar, 7th Heaven, that is best enjoyed during the warmer months. Additionally, one of the great things about the ALT hotel chain is that there is no fixed check-out time, so you can sleep in as late as you want.
