Le Centre Sheraton Hotel
Le Centre Sheraton Hotel is a skyscraper hotel in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located at 1201 René Lévesque Boulevard West in downtown Montreal, between Stanley Street and Drummond Street.
Le Centre Sheraton has 825 rooms and stands 118 metres (387 ft) tall with 38 floors. It was built by Arcop and was completed in 1982.[1]
History
The hotel was planned to open in time for the 1976 Olympics as the world's largest Holiday Inn.[3] However, the project suffered from cost overruns to the tune of $81 million. Construction took eight years and a different hotel chain opened the building. The mayor of Montreal officially opened the building in May 1982.[4]
Baseball Hall of Fame member Don Drysdale died in room 2518 on July 3, 1993.[5] It hosted a meeting of G-20 finance ministers and central bank governors on October 24–25, 2000.[6] It also hosted Wikimania 2017, attended by Civil Rights Movement historian Randy Kryn and 914 others.[7][8]
