PARKING

The Omni Mont-Royal Hotel is located at 1050 Sherbrooke West, Montreal, QC, in the heart of downtown. It is easily accessible by public transport, just a few minutes' walk from Peel Metro Station (Green Line). For visitors driving, valet service is available at the hotel, and several paid public parking lots are nearby. We recommend allowing extra time for parking due to the high traffic in downtown.
