==Architecture==
Completed in 1967, in time for Expo 67, the Château Champlain stands high with 40 floors. It was designed by Quebec architects Roger D'Astous and Jean-Paul Pothier.〔(D'Astous, Roger; The Canadian Encyclopedia )〕 The arch-shaped windows were intended by the designers as a visual reference to the Romanesque Revival arches of nearby Windsor Station, another Canadian Pacific property. D'Astous was a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Château Champlain's arches have also been cited as similar to those used on Wright's last commission, the Marin County Civic Center. However, the arched openings have led some to nickname the building the "cheese grater". It is Montreal's tallest hotel, at 139 m in height, or 40 storeys.
