MONTRÉAL (QC) – The first Hyatt Centric hotel in Canada, Hyatt Centric Ville-Marie Montréal, in collaboration with global real estate developer Jesta Group, officially welcome guests in fall of 2022. Centrally located in the heart of Old Montréal, the property will boast 177 modern upscale guestrooms, including five suites, a signature restaurant fusing Quebec and British cuisine, a rooftop pool (slated for summer 2023), as well as four fully equipped meeting and event facilities sprawling nearly 5,000 square feet. The hotel will provide savvy travelers with a launchpad for exploration, offering an opportunity to discover the iconic neighborhood of Old Montréal and everything Montréal has to offer.
The lifestyle hotel will be located at the crossroads of old and new in the picturesque Parisian-style neighborhood of Old Montréal, alongside the turn-of-the-century site of the country’s first railway station. The convenient location will put guests steps from the lively Place Jacques-Cartier, acclaimed dining and shopping options, a thriving nightlife scene, as well as many cultural destinations and moments from downtown Montréal.
“Montréal and particularly the neighborhood of Old Montréal offers an experience unlike most destinations in North America, as it boasts a European flair, and countless local and international events annually, making it the ideal location for Canada’s first Hyatt Centric hotel,” says Don Lougheed, Regional Vice President Franchise Operations & Sales Hyatt Hotels of Canada. “As part of the evolution of a dynamic neighborhood rich with history, Hyatt Centric Ville-Marie Montréal will be housed within the Place Gare Viger development, infusing new life into a deep-rooted and profound part of the city."
Vibrant and modern designs by local Montréal designers and architects will be represented throughout, including lobby and meeting space design by Ivy Studio; and principal design and architecture for the property by Provencher_Roy. Every aspect of the design at Hyatt Centric Ville-Marie Montréal has been carefully curated and thought out to best showcase its local inspirations, iconography, and culture. The building façade – comprised of Normand brick, white polished concrete, and zinc metal – is influenced by the neighboring chateau, historic church roofs in the area and the iconographic clock tower on the waterfront a few steps from the hotel. Additionally, the lobby of the Hyatt Centric Ville-Marie Montréal is inspired by the Jacques Cartier Bridge, with metal arches and wood paneling. The lobby will also include Terrazzo floor tiles and railway-inspired artwork to achieve a vintage and modern feel.
Hyatt Centric Ville-Marie Montréal’s inviting lobby, welcoming staff, and energizing colors, will allow guests to simply feel at home with upscale modern comfort and share-worthy art and styling elements that celebrate the character of the destination. Each guestroom will offer a creative and compact design with multifunctional elements, including a 55” flat-screen HDTV, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, blackout curtains, Nespresso machines, a minifridge, a keyless entry operated through the World of Hyatt app, and much more. Additionally, guests can revel in the spacious comfort of the hotel’s 600-square-foot suites. Each of the five suites features a king bed, a separate living area, a workspace, a 60” flat-screen HDTV, and picture windows with views of Square Dalhousie.
For business travelers, Hyatt Centric Ville-Marie Montréal will offer multiple meeting and event spaces, well-equipped for virtually any workshop, small conference, seminar, or event. Featuring the latest in modern audiovisual hybrid technology supplied by Encore Global, the four meeting venues will be located on the hotel's main level and feature floor-to-ceiling fenestration allowing beautiful views of the city or the interior courtyard.
Guests can experience locally inspired and creatively presented dining at Cartier Arms, Hyatt Centric Ville-Marie Montréal’s lively on-site restaurant by the locally renowned Burgundy Lion Group. Boasting Quebec-British fusion, Cartier Arms will serve handcrafted cocktails, embodying the turn-of-the-century golden age of the railroad. “When working with Hyatt Centric Ville-Marie Montréal, marking a special debut for the Hyatt Centric brand in Canada, we set the bar very high to deliver an unparalleled and authentic experience for guests in the heart of Old Montréal,” says Anthony O’Brien, Jesta Group's Senior Managing Director. “We’ve designed this property to celebrate the deep history and vibrancy of the neighborhood and all it has to offer and look forward to welcoming visitors and Montréalers alike for an incomparable experience.”
