In this exceptional summer, as the tourism industry attempts to resume its cruising speed, a new kind of accommodation, Griffintown Hotel, is opening its doors to offer visitors to the city a safe and unique experience. The first concept of its kind in Montréal, this apartment-hotel is designed to provide its guests with a vivid "neighbourhood-type" experience in one of the city's most sought-after new districts, located between the downtown core and the Old Montréal historic quarter. Griffintown Hotel is prioritizing its guests' health and safety in the COVID-19 era.

Griffintown Hotel redefines hospitality. It offers its guests not simply rooms, but complete one- and two-bedroom condo-style apartments (395 to 845 square feet), a concept that has proven itself internationally. Each apartment is designed and equipped to make guests feel at home. From doing laundry to preparing a good meal - all these activities are possible in the comfort of a Griffintown Hotel apartment.

Each apartment is equipped with a full kitchen, a living room and one or two bathrooms. The apartments are therefore ideally designed to comfortably accommodate up to five adults for a long stay. The hotel also offers discounts for rentals of seven days or more.

Guests have access to many amenities. In addition to a 24-hour reception and security service, an indoor garage is available. With the hotel's Griffintown location, every apartment, whether facing downtown and Mount Royal or the Lachine Canal, enjoys an exceptional view of the skyscrapers and the iconic Farine Five Roses sign. The views are stunning from the private balconies featured with each modern, uncluttered unit.

Since it is not always possible to have a safe table at a restaurant, and to support the principles of distancing, a take-out section reserved exclusively for hotel guests is located on the ground floor. This section offers gourmet take-away meals and a selection of local products for cooking in the apartments. In addition, the hotel's sister commerce, the Café-crèmerie-dépanneur GH (for Griffintown Hotel), offers everyday commodities just a block away from the hotel. Reception staff also deliver orders to the rooms.

Several measures in place in the time of COVID-19
Among the management's top priorities are the health and well-being of guests and employees. Because it is opening its doors in the midst of a pandemic, Griffintown Hotel's usual health and sanitation standards are not only carefully observed, but enhanced. A number of additional measures have been put in place, including a two-step apartment-preparation process, which includes disinfection using dry-vapour equipment commonly found in hospitals. In addition, all the condo-apartments have their own independent ventilation system. Finally, a 24-hour delay between bookings is respected in order to assure visitors' safety.
