Montreal B&B
A Unique Montreal B&B Experience
The Gingerbread Manor Bed and Breakfast in Montreal is ideally located in the plateau, steps from the Sherbrooke Metro station and within walking distance of downtown and Old Montreal.
A Real Montreal B&B
If you are looking for an authentic Montreal B&B experience, Gingerbread Manor is ideally located in the heart of the Plateau. Our historic home isan easy walk from the cobblestone streets of Old Montreal and the bustle of downtown, and just steps from the Sherbrooke Metro station. Built in 1885, the manor is a prime example of the late-Victorian architecture that defines this historic district. Originally named the ‘Gingerbread House’ due to the intricate Victorian ornamentation—an architectural style often called ‘gingerbread’—our current Manor is a significantly larger property that includes a beautiful, original carriage house.
Our Montreal B&B
For guests travelling by car, we have two unheated garage spaces in the original carriage house behind the house, reached by the back alley. They are available by pre-booking only and fit most cars, though pick-ups and full-size SUVs do not. Street parking around the Manor falls in Resident Zone 10; overnight guests can buy a 24-hour permit at any payment meter. Full details, including the public indoor lots nearby, are on our parking page.
Historic Montreal B&B Rooms with Modern Comfort
We offer five tastefully decorated rooms: Cartier, Frontenac, Carleton, deMaisonneuve, and La Suite (Champlain and Wolfe&Montcalm), all within a strictly smoke-free environment. Each room is thoughtfully furnished with high-quality bedding to ensure a restful stay. As you climb the winding wood staircase, past our resident statuette, you’ll find Cartier, with its private en-suite, and Carleton and Frontenac, which share a sleek, modern shower room. On the top floor, deMaisonneuve has its own private en-suite, while La Suite, the combination of Champlain and Wolfe&Montcalm, offers a spacious two-room layout with a private detached bathroom across the hall: a separate water closet, a shower, and the Manor’s only bathtub.
The Neighbourhood
Our location is a true walker’s paradise. We are situated right on the edge of the Plateau Mont-Royal, adjacent to the iconic Square St-Louis and its famous Victorian fountain. From our front door, you can stroll down the pedestrian-only Prince Arthur Street, well-known for its vibrant atmosphere and ‘Bring Your Own Wine’ (BYOB) restaurants.
On the nearby St-Denis and St-Laurent boulevards, you will discover an eclectic mix of independent boutiques and wonderful local cafés. We are just minutes from the vibrant Village and a short walk from the city’s most exciting nightlife. For those who love to shop, the downtown core and Montreal’s famous underground city are easily accessible. You can also hop on the Metro at Sherbrooke station or grab a Bixi bicycle from a nearby dock to explore the city’s extensive bike paths. Whether you are heading to the top of Mount Royal for the view or down to the Saint Lawrence River, everything is within reach from our front door.
The Breakfast
We pride ourselves on a daily breakfast that celebrates local flavours and the multicultural spirit of the city, served in our spectacular dining room with its grand turn-of-the-century mouldings and ornate, once coal-fired fireplace. Breakfast is always vegetarian: a continental spread from 7:30, then one hot baked dish of the day, a frittata, a strata, a quiche, pancakes, baked oatmeal or baked French toast, at seatings at 8:00 and 9:00. It is the perfect time to chat with other guests or plan your day’s adventure over our homemade preserves.
