With my friend Brigitte from the Facebook group of milesopedia, <\/a>we went to the Renaissance Montreal Downtown Hotel<\/a>, part of Marriott Bonvoy<\/a>, to rediscover the world of hotels in this time of virus.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”91457″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text]Now that cleanliness is even more critical everywhere, has the Renaissance managed to give us confidence in this era of COVID-19?<\/p>\n
