^ I love the Chateau Champlain, it's a great example of the bold design that Montreal became known for in the 60s and 70s.
I only ever stayed there once, but I definitely enjoyed geeking out over the hotel's architecture up close.
In the later years, CP did get involved in some less conventional railway hotels. They had a chain of motels in western cities called Red Oak Inns... I believe one survives in Brandon, MB to this day under a different name.
Also, they were involved in the development and operation of the Northstar Inn in Winnipeg (now the Radisson). CP was involved in a similar highrise project with the Chateau Lacombe in Edmonton.
