Montreal Casino & Hotel

The complex occupies the former French and Quebec pavilions from Expo 67, on Île Notre-Dame in the middle of the St Lawrence. The architecture is a real piece of twentieth-century exhibition design, not a themed reconstruction of one.

Accommodation, restaurants and a cabaret-style performance hall sit alongside the gaming floor, which spreads across several levels of the original pavilion structure.

The island setting means a short drive or metro ride from downtown Montreal, with Parc Jean-Drapeau and its walking paths immediately outside the door.
