President and CEO of the Crown agency, Jean-François Bergeron, remarked the casino has been a landmark for the city for 30 years. Construction will also uphold the highest sustainability standards. Via its outstanding architectural signature, the new venue will blend naturally with its surroundings while preserving the natural beauty of the area. The project is inspired by the unique character of Parc Jean-Drapeau, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary and suggests a low-height building design. Its revenue will be invested back into Québec communities and will join the Hilton Lac-Leamy and Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu in the firm’s real estate properties.

A hotel partner will be soon selected for the project, which would see an investment of CA$150 million. The Crown corporation will own the hotel, which is on track to open doors in two to three years. It is quite common for casino properties as the Montréal one to also offer hospitality, and the introduction of a promising hotel, would make the gambling venue even more appealing and enhance its reputation as a hotspot tourist destination. This week, Loto-Québec announced that it will be adding a 200-room hotel on Casino Montréal grounds.
