Four Seasons Hotel & Private Residences Montreal is now open.

The new location is also home to Marcus, the first Canadian outpost of renowned celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson.

Built around the Social Square that brings together both locals and visitors to the heart of the Golden Square Mile in one multi-faceted space, Four Seasons aims to be more than a hotel.

It also includes a lively dining and drinking experience, a spa and wellness sanctuary, the city’s newest venue for top level business meetings and glittering social galas, and within the same building, a community of residences,

“The joie de vivre of Montreal is unlike any city in North America.

“We’ve captured this incredible spirit and infused it into every aspect of this stunning new property,” says Christian Clerc, president, worldwide hotel operations, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts.

“Everything has been designed to set the stage for connecting people, community and culture; and to showcase the very best of Four Seasons through world-class design, culinary experiences and personalised service.”

Hotel general manager, Gonçalo Monteiro, leads a team of more than 200 hand-picked staff who are dedicated to providing world-renowned signature Four Seasons service.

“Ultimately this place belongs to Montrealers; we want to create a space where locals and international visitors can connect and interact.

“We’ve created a unique eco-system where visitors are surprised at every turn, that encourages social engagement, sets the stage for unexpected encounters and where unique moments and memories are created.”

Montreal is a city of poets, visionaries, innovators, dreamers and builders, regarded as one of the world’s great capitals of style, culture and lifestyle.

The city also hosts an array of international events including the Formula 1 Grand Prix, the internationally renowned Festival International de Jazz de Montreal and the always popular Just for Laughs Festival, the Osheaga Festival Musique et Arts and the Rogers Cup tennis tournament, all happening this summer.

“Four Seasons Hotel Montreal is an important and prestigious addition to the destination that elevates Montreal and sets it apart as a world-class city.

“Plus, we are counting on this hotel to add to our value proposition on the luxury market,” said president of Tourisme Montreal, Yves Lalumière.
