Loto-Québec has selected Germain Hotels to manage the hotel to be built near the Casino de Montréal. Following a thorough request for proposals process, Germain Hotels emerged as the hotel project’s ideal partner with its Le Germain Hotels brand. The new hotel will stand out through its design and the quality of its guest experience, as do the chain’s other properties.
Loto-Québec will be the sole owner of the roughly 200-room hotel, and all its profits will be reinvested back into Québec. This promising project will enhance the casino’s entertainment offer and cement its reputation as a prime tourist destination.
“We’re very proud to join forces with Germain Hotels, a local family business that is, like us, passionate about customer service. Loto-Québec looks forward to building a premium hotel, an icon for the city, at the heart of beautiful Parc Jean-Drapeau. The hotel will make the Casino de Montréal a more complete and appealing entertainment destination. We can’t wait to welcome the first customers,” said Jean-François Bergeron, president and chief executive officer at Loto-Québec.
Loto-Québec is still working with several partners to finalize plans for the hotel and ensure it becomes one of Montréal’s distinctive landmarks. The corporation will ensure that construction upholds the highest sustainability standards to minimize the environmental impact.
“We couldn’t dream of a better location to offer accommodation options, next to the Casino de Montréal and close to where some of the biggest events in the city are held. We’re very proud to lend our name and standards to this hotel,” add Hugo and Marie Pier Germain, vice-president, operations and vice-president, sales and marketing, respectively, at Germain Hotels.
Construction will begin once all plans are finalized and approved. The hotel is expected to open in two to three years. It will join the Hilton Lac-Leamy and Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu in Loto-Québec’s real estate portfolio.
