Montreal, February 18, 2013 – Hotel Gouverneur is happy to announce an alternative way to enjoy the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix this year.

If you come to Montreal for the Grand Prix but are not the cosmopolitan type and wish to include some R & R in your Montreal stay, Hotel Gouverneur has a great option for you. Our Hotel Gouverneur Île Charron is located in the heart of the Îles-de-Boucherville national park. It is only one of three buildings allowed on the island! Enjoy the beauty and tranquility of this natural haven located only minutes away from downtown Montreal. Travel to the Grand Prix in style! Indeed we offer complimentary transportation by boat to and from the Grand Prix. Avoid traffic and enjoy a view of beautiful downtown Montreal from the waters of the St-Laurence River. After the heat and excitement of the Grand Prix events, enjoy jogging, biking, kayaking, roller blading or strolling, or simply relax by the pool.

If, on the other hand, you wish to be in the heart of the action, Hotel Gouverneur Place Dupuis is the right destination for you. It is located right in the Quartier des spectacles, a vibrant cultural neighborhood
located in downtown Montreal and rivaled only by New York’s Broadway in terms of its concentration of cultural offerings. After attending the Grand Prix events, you can enjoy movies, plays, exhibitions, dance performances, high-tech art displays, concerts, opera, comedy, outdoor festivals, shopping and fine dining, all this in the heart of a neighborhood that has benefited from millions of dollars of investment in the past 10 years. The advantage of staying at our Place Dupuis hotel is that you are only minutes away from the Metro (Montreal’s underground transportation network) which will get you to the Grand Prix in minutes, avoiding all the traffic heading to the track.

Because of the popularity of the Grand Prix we recommend that you plan ahead and reserve early. Reserveonline now or call us at 1-888-910-1111. We are looking forward to welcoming you and showing you the famous Montreal hospitality that has made our city one of the top tourist destinations in North America!
