Centre Mont-Royal
A Model Of Meeting Success Versatility, prestige and exceptionally high standards have earned Centre Mont-Royal its stellar reputation over the last decade in the Canadian business events community.
entre Mont-Royal has carved out an enviable niche in the Montreal meetings landscape, from its inception, by remaining ahead of the curve. When it opened its doors 10 years ago, Centre MontRoyal was the only facility of its kind—a true-to-form meeting environment with a strong commitment to business events. While evolving to offer even more to their clients, through special-events space and business amenities, Centre Mont-Royal has maintained its celebrated status as a chameleon-like conference facility as it celebrates its tenth anniversary. Meetings Matter Centre Mont-Royal is a true meeting environment, with 50,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, while its downtown Montreal location puts delegates mere steps from 3,000 finely appointed hotel rooms. At Centre Mont-Royal, there are no mundane banquet halls. Instead, the multi-purpose facility features a grand ballroom, foyers with floor-to-ceiling windows and a VIP lounge. A plethora of boardrooms and bright and airy meeting rooms accommodate 10 to 850 guests. Meeting spaces feature soundproof rooms and individual room-climate controls, to ensure meetinggoers are both focused and comfortable. An outdoor terrace, overlooking Mansfield
