Boutique inn in a 19th-century building facing the Old Port, with a seasonal rooftop terrace overlooking the St. Lawrence.
Auberge du Vieux-Port is a boutique inn at 97 Rue de la Commune Est in Old Montreal, directly facing the Old Port and the St. Lawrence River. The 19th-century building sits among the cobbled streets of Quebec's historic heart, a short walk from Place Jacques-Cartier, the Notre-Dame Basilica and the Bonsecours Market. Champ-de-Mars and Place-d'Armes metro stations are both reachable on foot, and the Old Port promenade is outside the front door.
The inn keeps the stone-and-timber character of the original warehouse structure, with exposed masonry and wooden beams combined with updated interiors. Room types run from classic and superior rooms to lofts and suites, typically priced around CAD 330 per night, with some rooms offering views toward the river or the port. A seasonal rooftop terrace overlooks the St. Lawrence and is a popular place for summer evenings when the port's fireworks and events take place nearby.
The inn has an on-site restaurant, wifi, a concierge and valet parking, which is useful because street parking in Old Montreal is limited. Breakfast and dinner are served in the restaurant, and the immediate area offers many other dining choices on Rue Saint-Paul and Rue de la Commune.
The atmosphere is intimate and romantic, which suits couples and travellers who value historic setting over large-hotel facilities. The inn has no pool or spa. Noise from Old Port events and the cobbled streets can be noticeable in summer, so light sleepers may prefer higher or courtyard-side rooms. Visitors in winter see a quieter Old Port and the skating season, while summer brings the busiest crowds. The property's size and its loft rooms make it also appropriate for short stays of two to three nights built around walking tours of Vieux-Montréal.
