Magnificent penthouse units crown the majestic towers of the Maestria, inviting residents to delight in prestigious sky-high living spaces with unparalleled freedom. The Gold and Diamond Maestria penthouses soar a staggering 56 to 61 floors above city ground, offering sweeping and unobstructed aerial views of Montreal’s most coveted hallmarks. The natural splendour of Mount-Royal and the Saint Lawrence River is on full display through expansive panoramic windows. This extraordinary vantage point also provides a singular perspective on Place des Festivals and the Place des Arts esplanade: the very heartbeat of the downtown arts and culture core.

At the intersection of function  and elegance

Spanning up to 4,435 square feet of living space, Maestria penthouses are adorned with grandiose 11–24 feet ceilings. Units are appointed with luxuriant finishes throughout, and are available in 2 and 3-bedroom configurations.

 

 

The art of entertaining is elevated by a resplendent kitchen. Combining exceptional visual appeal with impressive functionality, quartz countertops and natural stone are installed alongside built-in, high-grade appliances. The double oven, cooktop, and range hood offer state-of-the-art tools to cultivate superior culinary performance, while the dishwasher and refrigerator seamlessly disappear behind wood-grain panels for a streamlined aesthetic.

 

 

In the master ensuite, a freestanding bath atop heated floors confers both elegance and refinement. Individual loggia-style terraces extend the Maestria experience to the outdoors.

 

In addition to other privacy considerations provided throughout the project, penthouse residents are assured full discretion through the inclusion of a solid-core entrance door with dedicated electronic lock.

 

Supplemental indulgences include heated, well-lit indoor parking spaces, with optional private garage for Diamond units.

 

Persons interested in learning more about the many advantages of penthouse living are invited to contact a Maestria representative.

Elegant and resolutely modern, Muir Hotel is the centrepiece of Halifax’s brand new Queen’s Marque district. In the heart of the city, this luxury oceanfront hotel is a favourite thanks to its high-end hospitality.

 

Muir is a unique destination, inspired by Nova Scotia’s natural beauty. With its first-rate, enviable location, the hotel offers direct ocean access and a breathtaking view.

Muir’s high-quality furnishings and unique works of art are steeped in mid-century modern style, providing a calm and elegant atmosphere. The use of quality materials also contributes to the hotel’s appeal.

 

 

Curved white oak walls are a common feature throughout the establishment, framing the ocean views. The hotel’s large windows flood the interior with sunlight reflecting off the water—you can practically feel the sea spray on your skin! The spectacular Port of Halifax is all yours.

At Drift, foodies can enjoy a modern take on traditional Nova Scotia fare. Get together with colleagues along the spacious bar, enjoy a local vintage by the fire or take in the ocean view on the patio.
