Auberge Bonaparte

Auberge Bonaparte is a small inn at 447 Rue Saint-François-Xavier in Old Montreal, positioned above the Bonaparte French restaurant. The address is a few steps from the Notre-Dame Basilica, Place d'Armes and the Place-d'Armes metro station, in the heart of the historic district with its stone buildings and cobbled lanes. The Old Port and Pointe-à-Callière museum are a short walk south.

The building belongs to Old Montreal's 19th-century commercial architecture, and the inn's French-style interior reflects the restaurant below. Rooms are standard, superior and suite categories, typically around CAD 250 per night, and breakfast is included. The restaurant, a French dining room in Old Montreal, serves lunch and dinner, so guests can eat downstairs without leaving the building. Wifi is provided.

The inn is small and quiet in character, favouring couples and travellers seeking a historic setting over a large hotel's facilities. There is no pool, spa or fitness centre listed, and the intimate scale means service is personal rather than corporate. The official website at bonaparte.com and a direct phone number are available for bookings.

Visitors should note that older buildings in Old Montreal may have stairs and compact rooms, and the cobbled streets are lively with tourists in summer, with street entertainers and terraces extending into the evening. Winter brings a quieter, snowy atmosphere and the Montréal en Lumière festival's events. Because the inn is above a restaurant, dining reservations for dinner are best made at the same time as the room booking. For other meals, Rue Saint-Paul and Place Jacques-Cartier offer many alternatives, and the Notre-Dame Basilica is within a few minutes' walk.
