Hôtel Le Germain Maple Leaf Square to offer the inimitable style and service Groupe Germain loyal guests covet with its new downtown Toronto location.
Toronto, ON: Hôtel Le Germain Maple Leaf Square – a new 167-room Boutique-hotel – brings Groupe Germain style to guests at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Square. This is the company’s second hotel in the city and its fifth Le Germain Boutique-hotel across the country. Guestroom, meeting and event reservations for Fall 2010 and beyond are welcome now.
Steps from Air Canada Centre, a glimmering glass-and-metal facade fronts the 75 Bremner Boulevard address. Architecturally eye-catching, the street view hints at the striking interiors created by LeMay Michaud Architecture Design in harmonious Le Germain style.
In the main lobby, natural ash wood combined with crystallized glass distinguishes the reception area. Leather-clad columns and metallic tile flooring are lit by a dramatic window wall. Precision acoustic panels ensure an intimate atmosphere within a grand setting. Warmth, comfort and sophistication result.
On storeys above, the grand corridors are anchored by an elliptical glass column transcending the property’s core. Hôtel Le Germain Maple Leaf Square guestrooms range in size from 400 to 1,500 square feet. Each is defined by detail: inspiring ergonomic workspaces; complimentary Wi-Fi; windows that open; glass enclosed rainfall showers; luxurious Frette linens and goose-down bedding.
From an eco-engineering perspective, the building incorporates responsible energy features such as low-E windows to provide maximum light with minimum heat loss, dual-flush toilets in all guestrooms and domestic hot water heating from HVAC heat rejection.
For business and special occasions, contemporary meeting and event facilities include up to 4,600 square feet of venue space with high-quality finishes and flooded with natural light. Unique group offers will combine business and pleasure, taking advantage of the cutting-edge technology and the proximity to some of the world’s best events. With the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs and the NBA’s Raptors as neighbours, Hôtel Le Germain Maple Leaf Square’s concierge will have exclusive, advance access to some of the hottest tickets in Toronto.
“We are excited about the opportunity to align with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment on several initiatives within this development,” says Groupe Germain Co-President Christiane Germain. “Our companies share a history of nurturing and rewarding guest and fan loyalty alike. We look forward to combining our strengths to introduce this unique, discreet hotel experience amid the downtown excitement brought by Maple Leaf Square.”
“The doorstep access to spectacular sport and event facilities, major downtown attractions as well as Union Station, combined with a deep array of amenities within Maple Leaf Square, guarantees our guests not only convenience but rewarding moments and memories.”
“Expect authenticity,” says recently appointed General Manager Paul de La Durantaye who also oversees the original Toronto boutique-hotel, Hôtel Le Germain Toronto on Mercer Street. “Our staff is genuine and intuitively understands our guests’ service needs. Recruitment is currently under way to attract the best combination of Groupe Germain expertise with new external talent to fill more than 90 positions available.”
