Adding a hotel on the casino grounds will enhance its attractiveness and further increase Montreal's visibility on the world stage,' said Quebec Tourism Minister Caroline Proulx. 'The Casino de Montréal is a major tourist attract on that welcomes several million visitors annually. It said it will soon launch calls for tenders to begin the hotel design process. 'With the traffic we have here at the Casino of Montreal, to fill 200 rooms is really not an issue, but to be safe and sure, we did a business plan with 75 per cent occupancy rate,' said Bergeron. The hotel is expected to be a 'low-height building' that will 'blend in with its surroundings while preserving the natural beauty of the landscape,' the news release states. The $150-million investment is expected to open 'within two or three years,' according to a news release issued Monday. I think we’ve been waiting too long to be honest,' said Loto-Quebec CEO Jean-François Bergeron. All players are on board and the timing is good for us. Next time I will stay at a lower priced hotel in Cloquet (5 minute drive) and eat and gamble at Black Bear.Loto-Quebec announced Monday that a 200-room hotel is set to be built on the grounds of the Casino de Montreal at Parc Jean-Drapeau. This 12 floor property only had one ice machine located on a smoking floor. They ran out of hot water for the shower one evening.

True for the casino, which was very nice, but some floors were smoking floors and they stunk to high heaven. The sign up front advertised “ 100 % Smoke Free”. I was here two nights and they didn’t clean up our room so I had to call them. No fridge, no microwave, and the typical small shower tub combo you get at a Super 8 for half the cost. First off, at $140 a night I expected a nicer, bigger room. The restaurant was so good I am fine with overlooking the following criticisms.But if they fixed these the experience would be so much better. The casino gives you $5 on the free players card so that’s a nice perk.

Most items on their high end steak menu were $30 to $35 and all their fancy appetizers were $10. We ate here two nights, the prime rib was fabulous and the crab crake appetizer was wonderful. Great food, incredibly reasonable prices, and fast and friendly service. The good: The Seven Fires Steakhouse was fabulous.
