The most characterful casino hotel in Canada — a heritage château where Old Montreal's late-night energy spills onto the floor.
Château Belfontaine occupies a stone building in Old Montreal, all vaulted cellars and cobbled lanes outside. The floor has a European accent, and the city's famous nightlife is right at the door.
It's the entry with the most personality — a little rough around the edges, but genuinely atmospheric, and Québec's lower gaming age gives it a younger, livelier crowd.
A vaulted cellar room holds roulette, blackjack and baccarat, with a lively craps table and a snug poker corner. Slots occupy a separate stone alcove; a small salon handles higher stakes.
Seventy rooms blend exposed stone with modern comfort. A bistro, a wine cellar bar and a late lounge — open past most of the city — round out a strong dining offer.
Old Montreal, walkable to the port and Notre-Dame. Twenty-five minutes from Montréal–Trudeau.
For atmosphere and a real night in the city, Belfontaine is our pick. Take the quirks of an old building as part of the charm.
