Montreal Casino & Hotel
The property is anchored by one of the more distinctive buildings in the city — a tiered modernist structure raised for Expo 67 on an island in the St Lawrence, later converted and extended into its present use.
Read as a hotel, the appeal is the setting: parkland on all sides, the river close by, and the downtown skyline across the water rather than around you. Restaurants run from casual to formal, and a performance space handles a regular programme of concerts and shows.
A gaming floor operates across several levels of the main building. It is one feature of the property among the dining rooms, the theatre and the grounds, and guests who never use it still get a stay defined by that island position.
