FALL 2021

Montreal is one of Canada’ most vibrant cities, deep in tradition and rich in history. From the Old Port to Griffintown, up to Mount Royal Park and back into the downtown core, this bilingual metropolis is a must-visit any time of year.

In 2018, one of his now-budding hotel properties underwent an 11-month facelift. Opened in 1999, Le Germain Hotel Montreal has a growing history in the city. But it truly wasn’t until its major renovation that it began to grab the focus of both locals and visitors, alike.

“It was a project of $34 million. It was a big project,” said Jacques-Alexandre Paquet, General Manager of the hotel. “We used to have 101 rooms. We added a structure on the top of the building and increased the number of rooms by 35.”

The building itself was built in 1967, the same year Expo 67 opened. According to Paquet, that “was the main inspiration of our designer and architect” for their remodel.
