Toronto (January 20, 2010) – Atlific Hotels is proud to announce Peter J. Dunn as general manager of Atlific’s newest property Le Westin Montréal. Dunn comes to Le Westin with extensive experience in the hotel industry beginning 32 years ago at Atlific’s Montréal Marriott Château Champlain.
“We are proud to welcome Mr. Dunn to the team at Le Westin Montréal,” said Raymond St-Pierre, vice-president, eastern Canada, Atlific Hotels. “Since beginning his career at our Montréal Marriott Château Champlain hotel so many years ago Dunn has developed an impressive array of experience and knowledge that he now brings to Atlific’s and Montreal’s newest hotel.”
