Keep in mind that the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Montreal is no longer governed or owned by the "Ritz-Carlton" international chain. "Ritz-Carlton" sold the Montreal location after discovering the huge costs involved to renovate the aging structure. You will notice that if you visit the Montreal location and see none of the traditional "Ritz-Carlton" trademarks/lion, etc.
"On December 15, 2006, The Ritz Carlton Montreal was sold to a group of private investors. Since 2007, the Ritz-Carlton Montreal has been owned by a consortium comprising Mirelis Financial Group, Torriani Group and Rolaco Group. It is managed by Torriani Luxury Hotel Management Canada, a subsidiary of Monaco Luxury Hotels and Resorts. Following its transformation, the Ritz-Carlton Montreal will have 130 rooms and suites, 35 condo-residences and 15 condo-suites."
