MONTREAL, Quebec (April 4, 2012) –
Omni Hotels & Resorts announced a $20 million renovation at its
flagship Montréal hotel, the Omni Mont-Royal, located in the
heart of the business district in the Golden Square Mile on historic
Sherbrooke Street. The renowned hotel - which opened its doors in 1976
for the Montreal Summer Olympic Games - has begun the transformation to
offer its business and leisure clientele the latest in design and
comfort.
The Omni Mont-Royal renovation will showcase the sophistication and
style of Montreal with designs from Alexandra Champalimaud &
Associates, which was originally established in Montreal and was named
the 2009 Interior Design Firm by Hotels Magazine. The concept is
inspired by the city’s fashionable, dynamic and artistic spirit. Upon
arrival, guests will discover a timeless elegance with the perfect
blend of elements reminiscent of the original architecture and design
along with updated, modern materials, colors and textures. The
renovation also includes a new, French-inspired lobby lounge and a
fresh concept for the restaurant, Opus Bistro. The facade will also be
visually enhanced with a curtain-wall of windows over a number of
floors to let natural light into the common spaces.
“We are excited about this transformation, which will help us create
even more memorable experiences for our guests,” declared Dominique
Lapointe, general manager of the Omni Mont-Royal. “We look forward to
creating a warm and welcoming residential environment through every
aspect of the hotel, in keeping with the spirit of Montreal.”
Started in January 2012, the renovation for the 299 spacious guest
rooms and suites, lobby and culinary venues will finish in June. New
meeting and event space will be completed in the fall encompassing
fifteen multi-purpose meeting rooms, including new furnishings and the
latest technology. With more than 21,000 square feet, the Omni
Mont-Royal will feature world-class space ideal for major international
conferences and important social occasions.
