F1 Races with the easiest transport & access to the circuit
April 29, 2025
The Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal is one of the most popular races on the Formula 1 calendar. With its downtown festival atmosphere, fast-paced track action, and vibrant nightlife, it’s no surprise that hotel rooms fill up quickly each year. If you’re planning to attend the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix, booking your accommodation early is essential.
Here’s your complete guide to the best places to stay for race weekend.
If you want maximum convenience during the Grand Prix, staying in downtown Montreal is the best choice. Downtown hotels offer easy access to the Berri-UQAM metro station, just one stop away from Jean-Drapeau station, which serves Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. This means you can be at the track within minutes without worrying about traffic or parking.
Luxury seekers will find no shortage of upscale options like the Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth, Ritz-Carlton Montreal, and Marriott Château Champlain. These hotels offer premium amenities and are close to the Crescent Street Grand Prix Festival and other downtown attractions.
If you’re looking for mid-range comfort, properties such as Hôtel Le Dauphin Montréal - Longueuil offer good value while still keeping you well-connected to the metro system.
For travelers on a tighter budget, options like Hotel Chrome Montreal Centre-Ville and Hotel les Suites Labelle provide affordable downtown accommodations without sacrificing location.
For fans who want to combine their Grand Prix adventure with a dose of history and charm, Old Montreal is the perfect setting. This area, with its cobblestone streets and European flair, is home to many of the city’s best restaurants, bars, and cultural attractions.
Boutique hotels such as Auberge du Vieux-Port and Hotel Nelligan are highly rated for their character and luxury, while Hotel William Gray offers modern design and a rooftop terrace perfect for relaxing after a day at the circuit.
From Old Montreal, you can easily reach the metro to Jean-Drapeau station or take a short taxi ride to the track.
For a more bohemian Grand Prix experience, consider staying in Plateau Mont-Royal. This artsy neighborhood is famous for its colorful murals, independent cafes, and eclectic restaurants. It’s a little farther from the circuit, but Montreal’s efficient metro system makes commuting to Jean-Drapeau easy.
Here, you'll find a mix of boutique hotels, guesthouses, and Airbnbs—perfect if you want to stay somewhere a bit different and soak in more of the local culture during race week.
Griffintown is one of Montreal’s fastest-growing neighborhoods, known for its modern condos, trendy restaurants, and stylish hotels. It’s centrally located, offering a great balance between downtown attractions and quick access to the highway if you’re driving.
For those preferring a suburban stay, Quartier DIX30 in nearby Brossard offers more spacious accommodations like the Alt Hotel Quartier DIX30 and Escad Hotel. While it's farther from the circuit, shuttle services often operate between the South Shore and Circuit Gilles Villeneuve during Grand Prix weekend.
Located across the river from downtown, Longueuil provides a quieter and more affordable option for Grand Prix visitors. Hotels like Hôtel Le Dauphin Montréal - Longueuil offer easy access to the circuit via the Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke metro station, which connects directly to Jean-Drapeau station.
Longueuil is a practical choice if you prefer avoiding the high prices of downtown hotels while still staying well-connected to the event.
If hotels are sold out or you’re seeking something a little different, vacation rentals through platforms like Airbnb can be a great option. Apartments and condos in neighborhoods like Griffintown and Plateau Mont-Royal provide flexibility and often better value for groups.
For budget travelers, hostels and budget inns around downtown Montreal offer economical lodging, but they fill up extremely quickly during Grand Prix week—so booking early is a must.
No matter where you stay, Montreal’s combination of thrilling racing, world-class dining, and unforgettable nightlife guarantees a Grand Prix weekend you won't forget.
