Le Méridien Versailles in Montréal has completed a comprehensive renovation of the intimate 108-guestroom hotel, including two penthouse suites; the debut of the signature Le Méridien Hub™, an innovative reinterpretation of the traditional hotel lobby into a social gathering place; and the unveiling of all new meeting and public spaces within the hotel.
“Located in a city with deep European ties, Le Méridien Versailles has a strong connection with our brand’s passions for culture, cuisine and the arts,” said Brian Povinelli, Global Brand Leader for Le Méridien. “The renovation of this hotel brings to life these passions and unlocks the destination for our creative and curious-minded travellers looking for a new way to experience the city of Montréal during their travels.”
Following its complete renovation, the arrival experience at Le Méridien Versailles has been transformed with an engaging and expanded lobby environment. The hotel now features the signature Le Méridien Hub™, with innovative coffee and cocktail programming, transitioning from day to night, and stunning arrival art installations, turning the hotel’s lobby into the newest gathering spot for locals and visitors alike.
“The transformation of our hotel has been an exhilarating journey,” said Massimo Urzillo, General Manager of Le Méridien Versailles. “We are thrilled to unveil our new look and offerings to our guests. The enhancements to the hotel will provide a new perspective to the city of Montréal.”
In staying true to the brand’s commitment to incorporating local coordinates into its mid-century design aesthetic, the refurbishments of the guestrooms and signature penthouse suites at Le Méridien Versailles complement the rich textures and cosmopolitan spirit of the neighbourhood. The rooms feature new Le Méridien beds, furniture, custom-designed wallpaper, comfortable and functional seating, accent lighting, mirrors and plush carpeting. Guestrooms include new flat screen televisions, plug and play docking stations and an enhanced wireless Internet platform. Renovations also include the addition of low-flow toilets, showerheads and faucets in the bathrooms, reducing water consumption throughout the building. All public corridors and hallways throughout the hotel feature new flooring and wall finishes.
