Loto-Québec announced plans Monday to build a 200-room hotel next to the Casino de Montréal in Parc Jean-Drapeau. The $150-million structure will be financed by Loto-Québec and is expected to open in two to three years on land belonging to the provincial lottery and gaming association.
Plans for the hotel have not been finalized, but the concept is to build a low-profile building of roughly four storeys that will sit on top of the casino’s underground parking facilities, next to the casino, Loto-Québec president Jean-François Bergeron said.
“The Casino de Montréal has been a landmark in this city for 30 years. … Its location at the heart of Parc Jean-Drapeau will put this hotel in a class by itself. It will showcase Montreal beautifully.”
