The Montréal Marriott Château Champlain is an architectural landmark in the heart of downtown Montreal, defined by a culture of stately elegance, French-inspired sophistication, and modern luxury. Originally opened in 1967 for Expo 67, it remains one of the city’s most recognizable high-rises, famously nicknamed the “Great Grater” due to its unique arched windows. The internal environment is polished and luminous, following a massive multi-million dollar renovation that harmonizes its mid-century heritage with contemporary design.

In 2026, the Chateau Champlain stands as a premier destination for travelers seeking a quintessentially Montreal experience:
