Saint-laurent hotels - About Saint-laurent Saint-Laurent is a former city on the Island of Montreal in southwestern Quebec, Canada. It is now one of the largest boroughs (arrondissements) of the city of Montreal.
The borough's mayor is Alan Desousa.
Saint-Laurent is divided into two districts, Norman-McLaren and Côte-de-Liesse. The Norman-McLaren district is named for Norman McLaren, a cinema pioneer at the National Film Board of Canada, whose headquarters are located in the borough district.
Saint-Laurent contains two CEGEPs, one English (Vanier College) and one French (Cégep de Saint-Laurent), showing the history of Saint-Laurent as a college town. A widely noted art museum, the Saint-Laurent Museum of Art, is located on the campus of Cégep de Saint-Laurent, along with a bowling alley and an indoor college hockey rink. With both French and English colleges, it also shows the ethnic diversity of the borough, with sizable French, Jewish, Romanian, South-Asian, East-Asian, Arab, Italian, Greek, and English communities.
Saint-Laurent is the home town of Raymond Bourque, a Hockey Hall of Fame member. It is also home to some of Montreal's best fast food: Coronet Pizza was voted to have the best pizza by CJAD Radio, and Decarie Hot Dog, a local greasy spoon on Decarie Boulevard, was voted to have the best hot dogs in Montreal by the Gazette in the 1980s, and still highly touted.
Saint-Laurent has three fire stations and two police stations, one municipal court building, one library, the former City Hall, and two indoor hockey arenas (the municipal Raymond Bourque Arena, named after the legendary NHL player, and the commercial Bonaventure's Arena whose rinks can be hired out, among other things, for private league play.)
