Here is a review of my stay at the Marriott Ch\u00e2teau Champlain in Montreal<\/a> following its rejuvenation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This report was done thanks to an invitation from the hotel’s team. No remuneration was received and the opinions are my own.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renovated hotel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

This Marriott Bonvoy<\/a> hotel, located in downtown Montreal, has undergone a major transformation and completed its major renovations in 2021. Gone are the heavy dark woodwork, draperies and rugs. Everything is now bright and contemporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 38-storey, 614-room building has retained its distinctive exterior architecture, with its half-moon shaped windows. The building, nicknamed the “cheese grater” has undergone a complete overhaul of its interior style. It has now become elegant and warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Review:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sid Lee Architecture<\/a> was in charge of the renovation project. Inspired by the hotel’s history and the desire to recall its Montreal environment, the chosen theme was “winter refuge”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Review:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It can be strange to talk about winter and to have a “warm” decor. But the challenge was brilliantly conquered. You feel cozy and protected as soon as you enter the hotel. The decor’s organic shapes and the use of wood and stone are comforting when you enter the Montreal Marriott Ch\u00e2teau Champlain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vaulted ceiling of the lobby is a nod to the architecture of Windsor Station across the street. The ceiling lights are reminiscent of winter clouds. The light bulbs evoke snowballs. When you check in at the reception desk, you’ll notice the mural, a reminder of the snow banks or the St. Lawrence’s waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Review:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In collaboration with MassivArt of Montreal<\/a>, 59 works of art are and will be displayed throughout the hotel. For example, a work by Sabrina Ratt\u00e9<\/a> will soon be installed. It will be projected on the wall of the staircase and will “move” interactively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Montreal Marriott Ch\u00e2teau Champlain<\/a> is located on De La Gaucheti\u00e8re Street, between de la Cath\u00e9drale and Peel streets. It’s right next to Canada Place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building to the east of the hotel is 1,000 de la Gaucheti\u00e8re, which houses offices and shops, but also an indoor skating rink that is open year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the west side is Windsor Station. The Bell center is located nearby, a 300 metre walk<\/strong> from the Marriott entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ch\u00e2teau Champlain is also accessible through Montreal’s underground network<\/a>. Rain or shine, you can move around the 32 kilometres of tunnels without going outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
