Doubletree Hotels proudly announces the opening of their first, full-service hotel in the province of Québec, with the debut of the Doubletree Plaza Hotel Montreal. Perfectly positioned in the progressive eastside of Montreal’s “centre-ville,” the hotel is just minutes from such legendary, year-round attractions as Old Montreal, Mont Royal, the Olympic Stadium, Biodome and Casino Montreal. Celebrating its 30th anniversary in serving the Montreal community this year, this 313-room, 24-storey hotel has just completed an extensive multi-million-dollar renovation project to upgrade all guest rooms, public space and 17,000 square feet of event space.

Formerly a Crowne Plaza, the Doubletree Plaza Hotel Montreal is operated by Hunsons Hospitality Corporation, under a franchise agreement with Doubletree Hotel Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hilton Hotels Corporation. Hunsons Hospitality Corporation also owns and manages the hotel.

"Celebrating our 30th anniversary in welcoming the world’s travelers to Montreal, our hotel team is truly honored to represent the first Doubletree hotel in Quebec and the city of Montreal by providing our guests with a fresh, new hotel experience,” said Fehim Sofraci, hotel general manager. “We truly believe that the fundamental essence and core values that represent the Doubletree brand are a perfect alignment for our Montreal hotel. We look forward to continue encouraging guests to enjoy the vibrant ‘joie de vivre’ that can only be found in our fine city, with the rewards of an incredible guest reward program and the warm welcome of the legendary chocolate chip cookie that is distinctly Doubletree.”

New designs and enhancements at the Doubletree Plaza Hotel Montreal incorporate an ideal Montreal mélange of the traditional, old-world charm of the city upon arrival in the hotel lobby with bold elements of sophistication and contemporary style and comfort throughout the hotel’s guestrooms and meeting rooms.

The Doubletree Plaza Hotel Montreal is proud to feature the highly popular Sweet Dreams by Doubletree Sleep Experience in every guestroom – which features a specially designed plush-top mattress and box spring system, a luxurious linen package of a down-filled duvet wrapped in triple sheeting and a plentiful amount of pillows that ensures a great night’s sleep. Guestroom bathrooms include upgraded lighting, curved shower rods, updated fixtures, framed mirrors and new vanities with granite counters. Conveniences for business travelers include large workspaces, ergonomic seating, high-speed Internet access and in-room printing services in every guestroom.

The Doubletree Plaza Hotel Montreal offers a comprehensive and flexible collection of 18 meeting and event rooms that can host the most intimate of gatherings to the grandest of galas. With 17,000 square feet of meeting and banquet facilities, the Doubletree offers an incredible 5,000-square-foot, pillar-free ballroom with 22-foot high ceilings and another 2,900 square feet ballroom. The dedicated meetings team at the Doubletree can handle executive meetings, training sessions and gala events from 10 to 700 with ease.

With one of the largest indoor, heated hotel swimming pools in the city and a 24-hour fitness center and sauna, travelers can easily stay in shape at the Doubletree Plaza Hotel Montreal. Savour the delicacies of superb continental cuisine in Impressions Restaurant, as the culinary team masterfully prepares the most delicious meals with a variety of choices from buffet to ’’a la carte’’ menus. In mild weather, enjoy dining outdoors on an outdoor terrace overlooking scenic Sherbrooke Street. Impressions’ Bar is the perfect place to sit back with friends and sip a before- or after-dinner aperitif.

“Because of its close proximity and direct flights from most major cities in the Eastern U.S. and Canada, Montreal has long been considered one of the most exciting leisure and business destinations in North America. The Doubletree Plaza Hotel Montreal is just one example of our brand’s strategy to continue exploring additional hotel opportunities for our brand’s loyal guests in gateway cities and suburban markets across Canada,” said Dave Horton, senior vice president – brand management for Doubletree Hotels. “This new Doubletree hotel offering in Montreal is an ideal example of how hotel owners and management companies across Canada and the U.S. continue to discover the Doubletree brand as one of the most dynamic conversion brands in the upscale, full-service hotel market today.”
