Loto‑Québec selects Le Germain for hotel on Casino de Montréal Grounds

Loto-Québec will be the sole owner of the roughly 200-room hotel, and all its profits will be reinvested in Québec. This project aims to enhance the casino's entertainment offer and cement its reputation as a prime tourist destination.

"We're very proud to work on this project with Loto-Québec, known for its entertainment and customer service know-how. 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," reports Hugo and Marie Pier Germain, vice president, operations and vice president, sales and marketing, respectively, at Germain Hotels.

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 reports that it will “ensure that construction upholds the highest sustainability standards to minimize the environmental impact. Furthermore, with its quality architectural signature, the hotel will blend into its surroundings while preserving Parc Jean-Drapeau's natural beauty.”

Construction will begin once all plans are finalized and approved by the relevant bodies. The hotel should welcome its first clients within two to three years. It will join the Hilton Lac-Leamy and Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu in Loto-Québec's real estate portfolio.
