The Palais is in the nucleus of this world-class metropolis, which means you’re only a few minutes by foot from 15,000 hotel rooms, not to mention historic areas like Chinatown, Old Montréal, the business sector, and the arts and entertainment district. Montréal is also a beacon of industrial and scientific progress, thanks to 11 higher learning institutions, including four major universities, and 200 research centres, making it Canada’s R&D capital.
Large facilities and an experienced staff

More than 550,000 sq. ft. and 113 fully accessible and flexible multipurpose rooms, including one ef the largest columless ballrooms in Canada, equipped with the latest technology have helped make conferences and conventions a success. In collaboration with the Canada Border Services Agency, clearing event material with customs can be done on-site.

Being green
The Palais is also proud to encourage and promote the staging of green events. We work hard to develop and maintain sustainable development practices. For instance, one of our most recent endeavours has resulted in rooftop green spaces, allowing the executive chef of our exclusive caterer Capital Catering to harvest fresh vegetables thanks to this successful urban farming project. We’ve also developed a strict Environmental Policy that reflects our commitment to being energy efficient. So you can rest assured that along with being a success, your convention will also be environmentally-friendly.
