The verdict

The best-rated room. The Four Seasons is AAA Five Diamond, on AAA's list since 2024, and Forbes Four-Star, with a Guerlain Spa that Forbes rates Five-Star.

Forbes lists Marcus Restaurant + Terrace, Marcus Bar & Lounge and an indoor pool, in an 18-storey hotel that opened in 2019.

Its home page has nothing for cruisers — no parking, breakfast terms or distance to the port.

Book it for the spa, not the logistics, and take a cab down to the Grand Quay in the morning.

Book it if

  • The splurge night before
  • Spa people
  • Food lovers

Look elsewhere if

  • You want to be by the ship.
  • You want the details in writing before you book.
What You Get

What you’re paying for, and what you’re not

From YUL without a hotel shuttle

YUL posts a flat taxi fare to downtown, C$49.45 by day and C$56.70 at night, and the Port says the day fare applies to the Grand Quay. Uber and Lyft pick up at the airport, and the STM 747 bus runs downtown around the clock for C$11.25, but it doesn't stop in Old Montréal.

Parking for the cruise

Port lot C$40 a day

If the hotel won’t hold your car, the Port of Montréal parks cruise passengers at the Grand Quay.

The Port of Montréal parks cruise passengers at the Grand Quay itself, 200 rue de la Commune Ouest, under a parking contract: C$40 a day, taxes included, per the Port. You send the filled-out contract by email before you arrive; no trailers or motorhomes, and the height limit is 3 m at the city entrance. The Port doesn’t say how it counts days.
