The Canadian Flagship Becomes the First Sofitel in North America to Undergo a Transformation of This Scale.
Sofitel, the pioneering hotel brand that combines thoughtful, sincere and committed luxury with a French twist, is thrilled to announce the complete renovation of its Canadian flagship, Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile. Coinciding with the brand’s 60th anniversary, this transformation of the French luxury hotel, Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile, embraces the essence of Montreal’s culture while offering French-style hospitality at its finest.
Ideally located on prestigious Sherbrooke Street in the heart of Montreal, Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile is just a few steps away from the city’s most popular tourist attractions, such as Mount Royal and Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, as well as luxury boutiques and a variety of gourmet restaurants. For over two decades, the five-star hotel is well established on the Montreal hotel scene, embodying Sofitel’s vision of offering guests sincere, committed service with a French zest while celebrating local culture through its offerings and multiple collaborations from the hotel and its various partners across the city. Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile boasts 256 rooms, including 17 suites, a bar, the renowned Renoir restaurant, and over 10,000 square feet of meeting and event spaces. As the Sofitel brand seeks to strengthen its positioning as an ambassador of the French art de vivre Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile is at the forefront of this exciting evolution.
For Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile to embody its French luxury brand identity, the property will undergo a complete refresh and update. Led by the award-winning 2pir Design firm and backed by a significant owner investment, the renovations will begin with the reception, restaurant, bar and entrance hall and are expected to be completed by the end of 2024. These will be followed by the common areas, including meeting rooms and the fitness center, by the end of 2024 and, finally, the guest rooms, which will be completed in the Spring 2025. Throughout the process, the hotel will remain open to the public, and its team will focus on delivering the quality service upon which it has built its stellar reputation since opening.
Inclusively, all areas of the property will be enhanced to embody a more modern aesthetic that will align with the new direction of the Sofitel brand. This includes adopting a more contemporary color palette and incorporating elegant furnishings to pay homage to Montreal’s joie de vivre and Sofitel’s French charm. These changes will ensure a cohesive look that balances luxury with the brand’s know-how, creating an atmosphere that, while captivating and bold, expresses a beautiful simplicity.
In addition to the hotel itself, Renoir, known for its exquisite fusion of modern techniques and traditional flavors, will also undergo a major transformation, reflecting the restaurant’s modern aesthetic and ambiance. Renoir and its Executive Chef, Olivier Perret, will continue to offer dishes that combine local ingredients with international flavours while highlighting Montreal’s unique culture in a new, contemporary, laid-back setting. Complementing these changes, a brand-new bar will also be inaugurated, offering a unique menu and atmosphere.
With this three-phase renovation project scheduled for completion by Spring 2025, Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile looks forward to embarking on this new chapter and continuing to offer guests a unique luxury hotel experience, true to the spirit of the Sofitel brand that has endured for 60 years.
