I have covered Montreal's LGBTQ+ scene for misterb&b, and the gay sauna landscape here stands out as the richest in Canada. Montreal has 4 gay saunas concentrated within Le Village, the city's dense LGBTQ+ neighborhood east of downtown - Sauna Oasis, G.I. Joe, Sauna Centre-Ville, and Bain Colonial, all within walking distance of each other on or near Rue Sainte-Catherine Est. The Village format is similar to Barcelona's Eixample: a compact gay neighborhood where saunas, bars, restaurants and community spaces share the same streets, making it possible to move between venues on foot in a single evening. August is the peak month for misterb&b bookings in Montreal, anchored by Divers/Cité and Fierté Montréal - one of North America's largest Pride celebrations. For accommodation in the Village, book through misterb&b Montreal. 🏳️🌈
