�Demand growth for extended-stay hotels continues to exceed the rate of supply growth in countries outside of the U.S., including Canada,� said Gina LaBarre, vice president, Brand Management, Candlewood Suites. �With less than 40 branded extended-stay hotels in Canada, the market has been served to-date by �all-suite� hotels or corporate apartment hotels, which don�t necessarily meet the needs of extended-stay guests seeking �just-like-home� hotel accommodations,� she added.  �We are thrilled to be downtown Montréal�s first midscale extended-stay hotel to offer these amenities.�

One of the largest Candlewood Suites properties in the brand�s pipeline of 147 hotels, the Montréal property is conveniently located on the east side of the city�s downtown area, on the border of historic Old Montréal and Chinatown. Each guest suite features a full kitchen, large workspace with a comfortable desk chair and overhead lighting, free high-speed Internet access, free local calls, an overstuffed recliner, as well as DVD and CD players. 

The Candlewood Suites Montréal-Centre Ville, located at 191 René-Lévesque Blvd. E., Montréal is owned by Aquilini Group Properties, Ltd., and managed by Pacrim Hospitality Services Inc, under a license agreement with a company in the InterContinental Hotels Group.

Candlewood Suites is focused on comfort, space and value.  With more than 130 properties located throughout North America, guests find spacious studio and one-bedroom suites in the U.S. and Canada.
