Fairfield Inn & Suites officially opens in Dorval

Located close to Pierre Elliott Trudeau airport, the new Fairfield Inn & Suites has 162 spacious rooms and suites. Among the services to be offered: free continental breakfast daily, a bar in the entrance, a fitness room with an indoor pool and free shuttle service to the airport.

“The interior of the hotel was designed by Nicole Vekemans who designed it in the style of an avant-garde “boutique” hotel which offers guests the same quality of service that the Marriott chain is known for”, said Jacques Lapierre, general manager of the hotel. I am very happy to be working with a team who’s looking forward to offering guests the excellent quality services that guests have become accustomed to receiving from the Marriott. This new addition to the chain will reinforce the hotel’s confidence and commitment to the province of Quebec. I can’t wait to offer travellers a truly Quebec type of hospitality that guests will never forget!”

The Fairfield Inn & Suites Montreal Airport is the latest addition to the Marriott chain that also owns and operates Quint Hotels. Quint Hotels opened its first hotel in 1976 in Brossard, acquiring three other properties, two of which are hotels at the Pierre Elliott International Airport in Dorval.

“We wanted to add a prestigious name to our roster of hotels and Marriott was our first choice,” said Quint Hotels president Theodore Quint. Our goal is to ensure that our associates enjoy the support and possess the required tools to offer an extraordinary service, thus creating a memorable experience for our clients.”
