As its hundredth birthday approaches, the world's first Ritz Carlton, constructed in 1912, is being completely restored and modernized, and two floors and a 45-condominium residential wing are being added.

It is with great care that Pomerleau is restoring the interior's unique cachet as some rooms require delicate work. Closed during its transformation into a five-star hotel, the Ritz Carlton will resume its long tradition of luxury and excellence next spring.
