Travellers Get a Jumpstart on Holiday Shopping at One Saint-Laurent Hotel

MONTREAL, QC--(Marketwired - Nov 5, 2014) - Nothing spells thoughtfulness quite like bringing back a souvenir for someone after a trip. And with the holidays just around the corner, there's never been a better time to squeeze in a little shopping while on the road. Helping travellers find the best gifts for those on their holiday lists is the Courtyard Montreal Airport, whose Holiday Shopping Package outshines other Montreal airport-hotel specials by being both convenient and fun.

In addition to accommodations at one of the most modern hotels in West Island Montreal, the Holiday Shopping Package includes everything travellers need for a little retail therapy. Guests begin the day with a full buffet breakfast for two at YUL Restaurant & Bar. This recently renovated space features interior design that's as fresh as the menu. Visitors sit down amid sleek furniture and floods of natural light before ordering from the recently updated menu. Options range from fresh, healthy dishes to heartier fare, and children under 12 enjoy complimentary breakfast with the package.

After breakfast, visitors can head directly to the Place Vertu shopping center where four anchor stores and approximately 135 shops and services stand ready to make holiday shopping a pleasure. And since the package includes a $25 gift card to the mall, guests may even find a present or two for themselves.

With a successful day of treasure-hunting behind them, guests can return to their hotel near Pointe Claire Village and relax on the outdoor terrace by the fire pit with a carefully-crafted cocktail from YUL Bar. A fitness centre, indoor pool and whirlpool offer plenty of ways to blow off steam before enjoying a good night's sleep in one of the 160 guest rooms and suites.

This premier option among hotel promotions at the Montreal airport is available on Fridays and Saturdays through December 17, 2014, and every day from December 18, 2014 through January 4, 2015. Rates for the package start at $145 per night. Travellers may make reservations using the promotional code SHO when booking online at www.marriott.com or by phone at 1-888-339-5339.
