The Hotel Gault, erected on the site of a former warehouse owned by Andrew Frederick Gault, magnifies the history of its founder, a prosperous 19th-century entrepreneur in Canada. Built in 1871 according to plans by architect John James Browne, this five-story building with a mansard roof speaks to the opulence and elegance of the era, featuring architecture inspired by the Second Empire and the Renaissance. After decades of transformations and changes in ownership, the building was transformed in the 1990s into a luxury hotel, opening its doors in June 2002, all while preserving its historic character and remarkable architectural charm.
