 Old Montréal / Hotel Development - Market Study
The Old Montréal catchment area is bounded by the St. Lawrence River to the south and University Street to the west, Sainte-Catherine Street to the north and Berri Street to the east (see the attached map).

Such an increase is all the more justified in that the revitalization of Old Montréal, the development of the Cité du multimédia and the emergence of the International Quarter (with the ICAO headquarters and the expansion of the Palais des congrès), are all important catalysts for the growth of the hotel market.
