Montréal Casino & Hotel
Île Notre-Dame, Montréal, Québec, Canada
Montréal Casino & Hotel stands on Île Notre-Dame in the Saint Lawrence, in pavilions raised for the world's fair once held in the city. It is described here as a hotel and resort, with restaurants, halls and a live programme. The gaming floor lies outside the scope of this guide and is not described. The island setting shapes how the place is reached.
The setting
The island lies in the river opposite the city, reached by bridge and by metro to the Jean-Drapeau station. Parkland, the rowing basin and the motor racing circuit surround the complex. The former pavilions keep their original outlines, so the exterior reads as fair architecture rather than as a standard hotel block. Water is visible from most sides.
Inside
Public parts include several restaurants, bars and a cabaret hall used for concerts and shows. Terraces and glazed levels look back across the water toward downtown. Circulation runs through the linked pavilions, and the accommodation is held in its own part of the complex. Programme listings change through the year and are published by the operator.
Notes
Age limits set by the province restrict access to parts of the complex, which affects how visitors move through it. Show listings and restaurant hours change by season. Parking and metro access differ from each other, and the island fills on event days.
