Bringing a taste of the Dead Sea to Montreal, The Bath Room offers HUGE floating baths as well as professional massages.
They have two spacious private "bath rooms", each of which equipped with a sunken 7' circular filtered bath filled with warm salty water, as well as a shower. They mentioned when I was there that each bath contains 50% water, 50% Epsom salt (incidentally, that's 1,500 pounds of salt per bath).
(One of the interesting side effects is that even after a full hour of marinating, you come out with smooth skin, not deep wrinkling.)
You float blissfully relaxed for an hour in complete darkness, with music (which you can optionally supply) or without. The first time is a bit disorienting, as the weightlessness feeling needs getting used to. I would caution anyone to at least go twice before making up one's opinion.
I must say this is possibly the most relaxing experience I have ever had - and the benefits extended to an extremely deep sleep the following night. Other benefits are supposed to include better circulation, softer skin and relaxed muscles. A bit too early to vouch for the first two, but I most definitely agree with the last!
Note that the baths are big enough for two people, which means you can comfortably share the moment with your significant other.
You can combine your bath with a massage, which is a complete relaxation treatment that completely melts away any remaining stress. Therapists are very skilled and professional, with a range of massage styles available.
For those unfamiliar with the location, Le Bath Room is located right on St-Denis, so depending on what strikes your fancy you can combine with a night on the town, or precede with a shopping marathon.
Highly recommended for men or women. Average price of treatments is consistent with market value in the area. -

I literally just walked into the door of our hotel from our experience at Le Bath Room. My husband and I are on our honeymoon in Montreal and booked a couple's float and couple's massage for our last night of our honeymoon. We called last night (the night before) to book it after calling another salon which did not have a massage available. We were excited to find out they had availability for the massage and float for the next day- so we booked on the spot. When we got there, we were very pleasantly surprised. The place was so relaxing and inviting. We had the flotation bath "first" (I'll get to why I put that in quotes in a minute). They explained everything very well for us first-timers. I realized once I got into the bath that they didn't leave us robes for us to change into before our massage but I figured maybe that was just an oversight. The bath itself was fine- the tubs are large (big enough for both my husband and I in the same one) and it was relaxing. The entire time I kept thinking how excited I was for our couple's massage after ward. My husband had never had a massage and the entire reason we booked the bath was so that he would be relaxed enough to enjoy the massage afterwards.
Well we get out of the bath and washed up in their wash room after a shower (which includes hairspray, gel, face wash, etc....they've thought of everything except deodorant- so bring your own if you feel so inclined)...and we were greeted very promptly. However, the woman said "Would you like some water before you go..." and I thought "hmm strange, before we go for our massage maybe?" So we accept the water and sit for a while and I start getting a feeling like they thought we were done. My husband asks the same lady who greeted us after the bath if we should wait where we were for our massage...which is when she told us we weren't booked for a massage. Excuse me? She was VERY kind about it and told us that she would check and she hoped it was her mistake. She came back and said there was only a float written down for us and that the girl at the front was the one who booked the appointment and she couldn't remember our conversation. They were completely booked for massages and there was nothing we could do, so instead of being angry about it we told her it was okay and they graciously gave us a 10% discount off the bath.
THEN the girl who booked the appointment came over and said something to the effect of "I thought you understood on the phone that we were booked for massages. I offered you tomorrow but you said that it was the last night of your honeymoon." This entire time I am thinking "Weird...I was next to my husband when he was on the phone with you and I don't remember him saying that it was our honeymoon, mentioning that we were leaving tomorrow, or saying anything about only have availability for a bath. In fact, the reason we booked with you in the first place was because you were the one salon that had availability for both." But I stopped myself from saying anything because, after all, she somehow knew it was our honeymoon and our last day, so MAYBE he DID say something. After we left, my husband told me that the reason she knew all that was because while I was in the bathroom at the salon before the bath, he told her it was the last day of our honeymoon.
The more we walked away toward our hotel, the more upset I got. I was already EXTREMELY disappointed that we weren't able to get the massage. It is the last night of our honeymoon- we had planned our entire day around it and had been looking forward to it all day. We would NEVER have booked just the bath. We even had told each other if we couldn't get both in (the massage and bath), we would just go white water rafting instead. I would never had paid for just the bath - and like I said the entire reason we booked the bath was to be able to enjoy the massage more. Don't get me wrong, the bath was nice, but for us, not worth the money on it's own. Not to mention, the girl misrepresented her mistake. I have worked in the service industry and understand the automatic need/want to defend yourself when you've made a mistake, but I was next to my husband and I know for a fact he did not mention the honeymoon or that it was our last day over the phone. I don't know what her reasoning would have been for the mistake if he had not spoken with her while I was in the bathroom.
I do feel like we were compensated fairly and the first woman (who may have been the manager) was extremely apologetic and kept saying "it wasn't okay", plus there really wasn't anything they or we could do at that point....but I feel like we just wasted $100 on a bath and it put a big damper on the last day of our honeymoon. I don't think I would be as upset if they just chalked it up to being a mistake or mis-communication, but instead she made up a conversation that didn't happen to save face.
