Tips For Staying Near Bell Centre
Location
Centre Bell, or the Bell Centre, was formerly known as the Molson Centre (or Le Centre Molson). It is located in downtown Montreal, Quebec. The area surrounding the stadium consists of office buildings, high rises, retail shops, bars and restaurants and landmarks of downtown Montreal, including Windsor Station.
Entertainment
The Centre Bell is the home of the Montreal Canadiens NHL team and hosts many of the team's hockey matches. Aside from NHL games, the stadium also hosts NBA basketball games, UFC events, boxing matches, concerts of many popular musical acts and special events such as Disney On Ice.
Full schedules and information about upcoming events held at the Centre Bell can be found on their website.
Parking
The Centre Bell has an indoor parking lot that is open Monday to Friday from 6 am to 8 pm. The entrance for the underground parking is located on the opposite side of the entrance on St. Antoine Street West.
The regular daily rate for parking is $11 per day. On event nights, the daily parking rate increases to $20 for those parking past 3:30 pm. On nights when the Centre Bell is hosting a Montreal Canadien's game, the rate increases to $26. Payment for parking is cash only and there is an ATM machine on site.
Getting Around: Walking
The Centre Bell is connected to the RÉSO underground path system that runs throughout the downtown core, making it convenient to access the surrounding shops and landmarks, especially during the cold winter months. Two of the hotels listed below offer direct access to the underground path, and routes that may contain partial or full access to the underground path are specified under each hotel.
All of the listed hotels are within walking distance of the Centre Bell, and walking times range from 3 to 9 minutes.
Getting Around: Public Transit
There are two metro (subway) stations within walking distance of the stadium. Station Lucien L'Aller is a 7-minute walk away and Station Bonaventure is a 4-minute walk away. Both stations are accessible by the RÉSO underground pathway and both stations are a stop on the M2 subway line.
A regular one-way fare on the subway system is $3.25. Full fare details and schedules can be found on the Société de transport de Montréal website.
Because all of the hotels are located within a 10-minute walk of the stadium, the public transit routes likely will not be needed to access the hotels; however, they are very useful for exploring the rest of the city.
Dining
There are four restaurants offering various settings and cuisines located on site at the Centre Bell:
Restaurant La Mise au Jeu is a members-only fine dining establishment with private dining rooms.
La Mise au Jeu Bar and Lounge is located above the restaurant of the same name and is open to the public for drinks and dinner.
Restaurant 9-4-10 is a hockey-themed restaurant open to the public on concert evenings and for private events and, on game nights, is open to members only.
La Cage aux Sports is a two-level sports bar and lounge open to the public serving a casual lunch, dinner and drink menu.
Full details for all of the dining options at the Centre Bell, including information on becoming a member, can be found on their website.
The restaurants tend to get very busy on event and game nights and as such, dining options have been listed under each hotel if available.
