    There's the Bonaventure Hotel...easy access around the downtown core from underground or overground... Prices are steep for GP weekend ... Hope that helps. Btw should you decide to stay at the Bonaventure , the FCA club is hosting a GP Gala Saturday June 6th At the Plaza Centre-ville banquet hall just across from the Bonaventure Hotel.Check out our website Scuderia Ferrari Club Montreal . ( sorry for the shameless plug) 😊.

    I stayed in Montreal a couple months back at a place called L'Hotel Montreal. Great place, frequently has a Ferrari or two parked out front in the summer months, and it has some great scenery around the area.

    That hotel belongs to Marciano, the founder of Guess, he lives in the Penthouse.
    The Ferraris in front are his, he has about 8 of them...

    I stayed at the Crowne Plaza on Rue Sherbrooke back in 2004, which was in a fun part of town with great Metro access, but it looks like that property has changed hands since then and shut down.

    If I went back I'd look for a hotel closer to the river and Old Montreal. The Bonventure sounds great!

    He had some legal trouble and lost a lot of money, had to sell off some of his cars and properties but he still has the hotel and a few Ferraris.

    The Novotel downtown is surprisingly nice, with a decent restaurant run by racing enthusiasts, and close to Old Montreal.

    Hotel W and Sofitel are good ones. It all depends on your budget.

    Also, there are some nice hotel-boutiques in the Old Port, with easy access to the circuit. I recommend staying in the old port area as a tourist.

    We have a bunch of FChat and FLife guys going up from the DC area.

    We have a block at Hotel 10 (terrific location) for a terrific negotiated rate.

    Let me know if you are interested.
