Warwick Hotels and Resorts opens first hotel in Canada

The hotel features 131 rooms and suites and follows WHR’s core strategy, namely, having hotels located in the centre of commercial, cultural and gastronomic activities of international gateway cities.

Warwick Le Crystal – Montréal is located in downtown Montréal close to the city’s top entertainment, sports and popular attractions, and is the closest hotel to the iconic and popular Bell Centre.

“The WHR hotel collection is proud to have chosen Montréal as the premier destination within the collection in Canada,” says Clare Chiu, vice president of development of Warwick Hotels and Resorts. ​“With its prime location in the heart of Montréal’s economic activity, its recognized international diversity, and its unique Franco-American culture, the Warwick Le Crystal hotel undoubtedly reflects the DNA of the Group.”

Guests visiting the hotel can expect suites that combine chic and urban style, designed for comfort, with living spaces brightened by natural light. The suites feature kitchenettes, king-sized beds and amenities made for comfortable, long term and family-friendly stays. The hotel suites are oversized, with many of them boasting balconies and terraces.

WHR was founded over 35 years ago starting with its first hotel — the iconic Warwick New York, acquired in 1980. An emblematic establishment of the Big Apple since 1926, The Warwick Hotel New York was commissioned by William Randolph Hearst with inspiration from his love, actress Marion Davis, and was built next to the Ziegfeld Theatre to host their Hollywood friends. Since then, the hotel has continued to host celebrities and is synonymous with New York glamour and understated elegance.

Inspired by the heritage of this hotel, Warwick has developed a collection of luxury hotels and resorts worldwide derived from its identity. Each Warwick hotel is bound by its individuality along with its own remarkable and unique story to tell. Warwick Le Crystal – Montréal welcomed its first guests in May this year.
