bold and full of contrast.

W HOTEL
Montreal, QC

Located in Montreal’s Banque du Canada
building, this lobby has been converted into
a modern wonderland, full of bold colours,
modern furniture and clean lines. Whimsical
shapes can be found on the ceiling’s large
round white lights and in the furniture. The
contrast of red, black and white creates a
fun environment. The use of slate grey in the
furniture textiles and on the wall cements the
modern feel captured throughout this space.

This boutique hotel lobby has walls
lined with black and white prints while
the décor mixes bold shades in violet and

Upon entering this exquisite hotel, guests
will immediately notice the high ceilings,
complemented by details in the wood
paneling. Floor-to-ceiling black metalwork
pulls attention to the black and white metal
sculptures hung from the ceiling. Nothing
is left to the imagination in this impressive
Yorkville lobby.
