Former Montreal Star and Gazette building now a hotel

Where newspaper presses once rumbled and rolled along the side of the building is now an enclosed grand entrance to the spacious lobby of the 450- room Le Westin Montreal. It bears little resemblance to the building's previous incarnation as home to the Montreal Gazette and, before that, the Montreal Star. Le Westin Montreal began accepting guests a week ago. A 143-seat street-level restaurant/lounge is appropriately called Gazette.
