L’Orangerie
1 question
Is L’Orangerie related to Scandinave Spa Vieux-Montréal?
Scandinave Spa Vieux-Montréal was acquired by new Quebec entrepreneurs. Since October 31, 2026, L’Orangerie has welcomed you in the same space, at 71 de la Commune Street West, in the heart of Old Montreal, with its own identity and experience. A new name, the same team, and the same promise of silence and disconnection.

7 questions
Do I need to book?
Booking is strongly recommended: it lets us prepare for your arrival. Walk-in guests are welcome, subject to availability.
When should I arrive?
- Thermal cycle with a booking: check in at your booked time or within 30 minutes after.
- Massage therapy: arrive at least 30 minutes before your treatment to change, shower and complete the health form. If your treatment is combined with the thermal cycle, you may arrive up to 2 hours before.
How long can I stay?
To fully enjoy the thermal cycle, we suggest planning about 2.5 hours. That said, there is no time limit: take the time you need.
What is your cancellation policy?
Any cancellation or change must be made at least 24 hours before your booking. Within 24 hours, a fee of 50% of the value of the booked services applies.
Do I need to fill out a form before my visit?
Yes. Every guest completes a consent form for each visit. We’ll email it to you shortly before your visit so you can complete it in advance and make your arrival easier.
What are your opening hours?
L’Orangerie welcomes you every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. You can reach us by phone at 514-288-2009 from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Massage therapy treatments start at 9 a.m.
Is parking available?
Valet service is available 7 days a week. Simply pull up in front of the spa and we’ll take care of the rest. Street parking is also available nearby.
A paid parking lot is less than 400 metres away, at King Edward Quay. The spa is a 5-minute walk from Place-d’Armes metro station and easy to reach by bike or BIXI.
