The Montreal international jazz festival is one of Montreal’s biggest events. Close to two million people come to see the worlds largest jazz festival, which has delivered a consistent stream of Jazz’s best artists year after year, and electrifies Montreal’s nightlife with some of the city’s trendiest venues playing host to less mainstream artists who are rising stars in their genre.

If your group is trendy or just wants to light up the night as high-rollers, this is the right time to book a VIP Nightlife package with us and enjoy the sights and sounds the city has to offer during the summer festival season. Many areas of the downtown core are shut down during the Jazz festival, with several free outdoor performances to watch, or major indoor concerts at the Place Des Arts centre.

To better improve our hotel directory, we’ve sorted the list of Montreal hotels by the four best-known regions of the city; Downtown, The Plateau, The Old Port, and The Gay Village. These areas of the city showcase the best Montreal has to offer and allow you to better plan your hotel arrangements when booking your stay with us.

Downtown Montreal will bring you close to the major action of the Montreal nightlife scene. The Plateau is a trendy neighborhood only a few minutes walking distance from the downtown core and an excellent place for shopping. The Old Port is a scenic and historical district with tons of small eateries and boutiques to explore, as well as great museums showcasing the city’s history. The Gay Village is the center of the gay community of Montreal and has a fun atmosphere anyone can enjoy.

Planning a trip to Montreal for a bachelor party, but wondering where you’ll find a place to light up that cuban cigar? Montreal may have an indoor smoking ban, but the city also has terraces for nearly every restaurant and at most clubs. This gives Montreal an added appeal now that most cities are going smoke-free, and given Montreal’s reputation as a clean and beautiful city the view from any terrace is often exceptional. You and your friends can enjoy the Montreal Nightlife without worry in this liberal and laid-back city, enjoy the street activity in Old Montreal from the terrace of a great pub or party on the balcony of one of hottest clubs. There are also cigar lounges where you can take advantage of your Canadian trip and enjoy a nice Cuban.

You’ll find people from all abroad while exploring Montreal, and experience the club scene at one of its highest points of the year; if clubs aren’t your thing there is also tons of activities going on at the city’s pubs and bars, great for those of you who prefer to do a little bar hoping.
