A Montreal gem and St Catherine Street icon since 1879, this building was originally a jewelry store before becoming a 5‑star hotel.
In 2018 the interior redesign was undertaken in close collaboration with NEUF Architects and captures a perfect combination of comfort and elegance.
This major renovation preserved the late 19th‑century style, with ornate crown mouldings and majestic columns.
The MARRIOTT brand today is the biggest hotel chain in the world.
No matter what the category, Marriott hotels are known for their comfort and class. In terms of interior design standards, safety and aesthetics are equally important.
In addition to spacious rooms, this hotel boasts creative and inviting public spaces that exude poise and boldness.
In the heart of the business district, Provencher Roy Architects designed this building to reflect Montreal’s image.
Modernity, functionality, and durability are the cornerstones of this world-class institution.
It was SidLee Architecture, whose mission is to create vibrant, warm, yet colourful and inviting spaces, who led the charge on the interior design honouring the vision of this innovative and cutting-edge university.
