Hôtel Chez Swann is the most evocative boutique hotel at the epicenter of Montreal’s downtown core. Smart, bohemian, dramatic and edgy: it redefines the landscape of Montreal’s vibrant scene. “Evocative, eccentric, eclectic, personal, and culturally significant” characterize this new twenty-three room hotel. It is a departure from virtually everything that has been done to date in Montreal. More art driven than design driven, Hôtel Chez Swann’s brave new old-world aesthetic with its flamboyant gestures, grand allusions and unbridled sensuality make it inarguably the true essence of a boutique hotel. The design direction throughout this renovated space is unique in the real sense of the word, encompassing the fundamental qualities of light, proportion and materials. It is lyrically sensuous, a work of deceptive richness, where the eye is free to register the play of sunlight or the hue of grain. Hôtel Chez Swann is more than a hotel. It is a full-fledged experience with a spark of spontaneity found in theatre, on stage, or an artist's studio. Hôtel Chez Swann is not a gallery, not a museum but a singular fully expressed eclectic vision.
