The document discusses the success of boutique hotels in Old Montreal and their role in revitalizing the historically significant neighborhood. It describes how the area was nearly abandoned ten years ago but saw a renaissance due to partnership between the city and tourism industry. Four new boutique hotels opened between 2002-2003, attracting new residents and visitors with their luxury and unique designs. The municipal government organization Société de développement de Montréal and Bureau de promotion et de mise en valeur du Vieux-Montréal played a key role in encouraging real estate development and rehabilitation projects in Old Montreal.
