Nowhere is that more tangible than at Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile. Each of the hotel’s 256 rooms and suites feels like a sanctuary in the city, defined by soft lighting, marble bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing sweeping views of downtown and Mount Royal.

A Commitment to Sustainability and Responsibility

Beyond its dedication to elegance and comfort, Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile stands as a benchmark for sustainable luxury. For years, the hotel has woven environmental consciousness into its daily operations, guided by a commitment to protect resources and foster a culture of responsibility among its teams and guests. 

The hotel proudly holds five Green Keys from Green Key Global, along with Performance+ certification from Ici On Recycle and Platinum recognition from Gaia, Accor’s environmental excellence program. These achievements are the result of a collective effort, spearheaded by the hotel’s Green Committee, to reduce energy consumption, optimize recycling, and encourage mindful practices across all departments. 

Innovation plays a central role in Sofitel’s sustainable journey. As the first Accor property in Quebec to eliminate single-use plastics, the hotel has replaced disposable materials with elegant, lasting alternatives. Its kitchens prioritize local, seasonal ingredients, celebrating Quebec’s produce while reducing the carbon footprint of imported goods. With the integration of artificial intelligence systems like ORBISK, food waste has been reduced by nearly a third, an impressive step that reflects the hotel’s balance of efficiency and environmental care. 

Energy conservation remains another pillar of the property’s commitment. The installation of motion-sensitive LED lighting and advanced heat recovery systems has notably reduced electricity use and optimized temperature regulation throughout the building. Even behind the scenes, used cooking oils, electronics, and light bulbs are collected and recycled through specialized programs, ensuring that every action, no matter how small, supports a greener future. 

Events and conferences held at Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile also embrace eco-responsible standards. From compostable materials and recycled stationery to guest awareness programs that promote public transport and reduced waste, every gathering reflects the same thoughtful attention the hotel brings to its hospitality. 

Adding to its commitment to social responsibility, Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile proudly holds Platinum certification from the SHe Travel Club, the world’s first label dedicated to enhancing the safety and comfort of women travelers. This distinction highlights the hotel’s inclusive philosophy, one that values care, trust, and respect as integral elements of true luxury. Guests can expect elevated safety features, personalized amenities, and thoughtful touches designed with modern women in mind, ensuring a stay that feels both secure and indulgent. 

Experience the Art of Living

From the signature scent that welcomes guests upon arrival to the refined service that accompanies every stay, Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile embodies the French spirit of l’art de recevoir, the art of hospitality. It’s a destination that transcends accommodation to offer a lifestyle, graceful, modern, and distinctly Montreal.
