The Top 7 Photo-Friendly Decors in Montreal (And Why They’re All at Le Saint Motel)

Montreal is a city full of hidden gems, but when it comes to colorful, creative spaces designed specifically for photoshoots and events, Le Saint Motel is in a league of its own. With over 13 themed decors, our retro-inspired motel is a playground for photographers, brands, influencers, and corporate groups looking to make their next 5 à 7 unforgettable.

Here are our top 7 Instagrammable decors—all under one roof.

1. The Gothic Red Chapel

Deep red walls framed by arched, gothic-style black windows give this room instant drama. The contrast between the crimson backdrop and dark framing provides natural vignettes that look cinematic on camera. Ivy cascading from the ceiling adds texture, while the columns in the foreground create depth and allow for layered compositions. Perfect for moody portraits, editorial shoots, or themed campaigns.

2. The Pink Heart-Shaped Pool

A playful twist on a classic retro motif, this set glows with bright pinks and neon orange accents. The Farine Five Roses sign is iconic Montreal, instantly grounding photos in a recognizable landmark. The heart-shaped pool filled with colorful balls adds movement and fun, while the large window floods the room with natural light—ideal for crisp, vibrant photos. This decor screams bachelorette, influencer content, or brand activations.

3. The Retro Staircase

A bold mix of coral-orange, bubblegum pink, and lavender with geometric wall cutouts, this stairwell feels like stepping into a Wes Anderson frame. The repeating patterns and strong diagonals give photographers an easy way to build striking compositions. It’s versatile enough for playful lifestyle shoots, high-fashion editorials, or corporate content that wants a quirky twist.

4. The Rose Room

A glowing marquee heart surrounded by cascading red roses makes this set instantly romantic. The white-and-red swirl floor adds dynamic lines that lead the eye toward the subject. Soft curtains in the background help diffuse lighting, giving portraits a dreamy glow. Great for couples, Valentine’s campaigns, or anyone wanting a romantic pop of color in their images.

5. The Western Saloon

With its wooden textures, swinging saloon doors, and desert mural backdrop, this set transports your shoot straight into the Wild West. The warm brown tones pair beautifully with denim, leather, or neutral palettes. Props like the barrel and saddle add authenticity, giving photographers endless storytelling possibilities. It’s ideal for themed parties, brand shoots, or playful cosplay sessions.

6. The Pink Telephone Wall

Rows of hanging pink and red retro telephones create a striking vertical composition. The monochromatic palette in shades of blush, rose, and fuchsia glows under lighting, giving skin tones a flattering warmth. The repetition of shapes and cords makes this set perfect for fun, editorial shots with bold fashion or playful group portraits.

7. The Green Velvet Bathroom

Rich emerald walls with jewel-toned velvet curtains frame a classic clawfoot tub, while patterned wallpaper featuring golden peacocks adds luxury. Photographers will love the dramatic contrast between green and white, which makes subjects pop. The combination of lush plants and ornate mirrors introduces texture and reflection opportunities, allowing for creative, layered compositions.
