PB hotel design editorial

At the sharp corner where Sainte-Hélène meets Notre-Dame in Old Montreal, a Second Empire commercial building from 1871 — its grey limestone facade piled with rusticated arches, mansard roofline, and iron cresting — contains one of Quebec's most convincingly argued arguments for mid-century modernism as a preservation strategy. Hôtel Gault converted the former textile warehouse into a 30-room boutique hotel in 2002, with interiors conceived by local designer Anne Lafond that set polished concrete floors and warm maple millwork directly against exposed brick and rough fieldstone walls left entirely undisturbed. The contrast is the point. In the guestrooms, Pierre Paulin-style tulip chairs in teal and mustard sit on circular rugs beside low platform beds, while the original arched windows — now fitted with deep timber surrounds — frame views across to the Palais de Justice. The bar and breakfast room extend the same logic: Paulin's Orange Slice chairs in crimson are pulled up to slate-topped tables beneath a pressed-tin ceiling, with a vivid yellow Idée sofa anchoring the lounge beside raw masonry exposed mid-wall like a geological cross-section. Large-format black-and-white photography hung throughout gives the common areas the atmosphere of a private collector's residence rather than a hotel lobby, grounding the mid-century furniture in something more personal and less curated.

About

The Gault is a boutique hotel housed in an historic building built in 1871. The hotel lies in the heart of Old Montreal, just steps away from the downtown and the convention center. In contrast to the exterior of this landmark building, inside, The Gault features a minimalist style. Together, they create an incomparable communion of old-world comfort and luxurious contemporary design. Furnished with classic 20th-century pieces, The Gault experience is enhanced by huge French windows that flood each of the 30 suites with natural light and create a radiant atmosphere. All the rooms are open-plan and equipped with Mondrian custom oak cabinetry. Province of Quebec establishment registration number is 177096.

"We stayed in an Airbnb on our last city trip and really enjoyed the independence – especially being able to manage meals around jet lag. This time, we chose a hotel again, but with a kitchenette and dining area – and it was the perfect decision. We had the best of both worlds: excellent hotel service, a beautiful room, and the convenience of a small kitchen. The staff was very helpful whenever we had questions. We were extremely satisfied with our stay, and the location was perfect (5 min to Metro or Notre Dame). Highly recommended!"

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was perfect to see the old port and had many stores and restaurants within walking distance. The room was very well kept; the turndown service was amazing - arriving to the room after a long day to dim lights and calm music was very relaxing. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. There were robes and slippers available in the room for use and the umbrellas were perfect to have for the few days it rained. This was my first trip to Montreal and based on the service and stay at this hotel I would happily return with my family."

"Hotel Gault is exceptional. From the moment I walked into the lobby, I felt completely at ease. My room was absolutely beautiful—so spacious and clean—with fabulous little touches I wasn’t expecting, like robes and slippers. It felt more like a stylish small apartment than a hotel room. I really enjoyed making a coffee from the machine and watching the Olympics as the sun rose—such a peaceful, memorable moment. The only downside was the gym, which was very small. As the hotel is so well equipped otherwise, I was quite surprised. There was no mat for floor work and barely enough space for more than two people to use the machines comfortably. There was also no water or towels provided, which in my experience have been complimentary in other hotels in Montreal. The staff were very helpful and I loved the district, I didn't have breakfast included so I can't comment on that, but there was an amazing vegan restaurant at the end of the road, which was an absolute delight. Overall though, a wonderful stay, I didn't want to leave."
