The building was gutted and renovated at a cost of $140 million and converted to a mixed-use complex with a shopping mall in the lower levels and basement, connected to the Underground City, and offices above. It reopened in 1988[6] as Les Cours Mont-Royal. The only interior remnant of the original hotel is the original lobby, which contains a huge chandelier taken from the Monte Carlo casino. The shopping area is organized around four large courts, hence the French name "Les Cours". Under the main skylight there are six bird-human sculptures by the Inuit artist David Ruben Piqtoukun.
Tenants and facilities
The top of the building has several floors of luxury condos. They have separate elevators and entrances, set apart from those of the shopping centre's street doors and subway tunnels. In between the top condo levels and the mall at the base there are several floors of office space.
Les Cours Mont-Royal Shopping Centre is mainly composed of fashion retailers, with a few additional features and services including Montreal's largest spa (Spa Diva), a medical clinic (Les Cours Medical Centre) and a catwalk for fashion shows and other events.
