Are you looking for a luxurious getaway but can’t afford to
go overseas? Then you’ll want to check out the newly renovated Ritz-Carlton
Montreal. The Grand Dame of Sherbrooke Street was built in 1912 to the exact
standards of legendary hotelier Cesar Ritz.
After a jaw-dropping $200 million
renovation, the hotel is once again back to it’s former aesthetic maintaining
much of the original charm and elegance in the lobby and public spaces.
Although this hotel his old-world charm, we love how they’ve
incorporate modern technology. The Ritz-Carlton incorporated the latest
high-tech amenities such as guests’ temperature preference upon check-in,
motion sensors that activate lights to guide guests in a darkened room,
motorized blackout blinds or the high-tech toilet that does everything for you
(though we are not sure what “everything” is).
In addition, the 98 rooms and 31 suites have been updated
with a modern twist while reusing original treasures, such as the marble fireplaces,
antique furnishings, and art collection. The grand staircase at the Ritz is
still in place for ladies to make a dramatic entrance during formal functions.
Hopefully, we’ll be making a grand entrance one day very soon
at the Ritz.
