A Sultry New Lounge Atop Montreal’s Red-Light District Has Premium Sound & Vintage Vibes

A slick and sexy new lounge has opened in Montreal’s former Red-Light District: Emmanuelle, on the fifth floor of the 2-22 building at the intersection of Rue Sainte-Catherine and Boul. Saint-Laurent is a high-end 3,500 square-foot lounge that enhances the city’s award-winning nightlife scene with a custom sound system as well as drinks and dishes from local industry veterans.

After taking the elevator up, guests enter another world designed by the Montreal-based Atelier Zébulon Perron. The elongated dining room and terrasse — fit for either 140 seated guests or as many as 275 standing and sampling cocktails — glows with an erotic 1980s aesthetic. That means a lot of warm colours, soft textures, and vintage decorations reminiscent of the movie sets featured in the videotapes your parents probably kept hidden on the top shelf of their closet.
