HOTEL MONTREAL
RUBY FOO'S BLOG

Fall has barely begun, but it’s already time to start thinking about the Holidays! To help you get ready for the busiest time of the year, we have put together a short guide that will make planning a unique and delightful evening for you and your employees a lot more pleasant.
 
An Exquisite Meal for Every Taste 
The Holiday season is the perfect time to gather around a festive table, celebrate the year’s successes and show your employees how much you appreciate their work. The meal you serve is therefore a priority. With Hotel Ruby Foo’s Christmas Party Packages, you can enjoy a delectable four-course meal and choose the dishes that suits your tastes and preferences. Our packages also include a welcome cocktail, a selection of refined hors d’oeuvres and two glasses of wine per person. A chocolate fountain or dessert table is also available to top off your dinner. Moreover, the hotel offers an exclusive bedroom rate of $125 for a Deluxe rooms and free parking.
 
You’ll Feel Like Dancing 
Just because it’s Christmas, that doesn’t mean we have to go overboard with the classics. As they say, moderation is always in good taste—especially when Jingle Bells starts playing on repeat as soon as Halloween is over. Choose music that will make your guests want to dance and join the party. Offer a mix of styles and groups to further strengthen team spirit. Why not send out a survey a few weeks before the event and ask employees if they have any requests?
 
Lively and Varied Entertainment 
A  DJ or a host can make the difference between a memorable Christmas party and an event people can’t wait to leave. Make sure the host you choose caters to all age groups in attendance. Also, give people enough time for a relaxed meal; don’t rush them with endless games that interrupt them while they’re enjoying their meal. Effective organization is crucial for the evening to go smoothly!
 
Thoughtful Gifts 
Instead of wasting money on something that will end up being re-gifted, take the time to learn about your employees’ interests. Don’t just rely on your own tastes; this is an opportunity for you to get to know the people you work with every day. Also, offer your guests an original memento of the event. A fun photo booth, personalized wine glass or festive box of sweets can turn your Christmas party into an important tradition for your employees as opposed to just another formal event.
 
Safety First! 
Don’t forget to think of those who may overindulge. To keep your guests safe, look into a designated driver or taxi service. Better yet, have your Christmas party at Ruby Foo’s Hotel, where you can enjoy the comfortable king-size beds in our Deluxe rooms for only $125 a night. That way, you can continue celebrating worry free!

Happy planning!

Are you planning a corporate meeting and wondering where to have it? Far be it from us to try to influence you (OK, maybe not that far), but have you considered Montréal? Reasons abound for you to visit our fair city.
 
 Montréal is practical.
 It’s the best of both worlds, with all the advantages of a world-class metropolis as well as a warm and friendly atmosphere. Montréal is a compact city; it’s easy to get around safely. It has all the versatile and ultramodern facilities you need to hold a large-scale event, including the Palais des congrès. Located right downtown, this venue is easily accessible by subway, and numerous tourist attractions are within walking distance. Coming to Montréal is easy, from anywhere in the world, thanks to its international airport. Its public transit network will take you to town in a jiffy.
  
Montréal is economical
The cost of organizing a corporate event is an important consideration. In this respect, Montréal is a great destination compared with other North American cities. First, the exchange rate will work in your favour, which is no small matter. Montréal is an inexpensive city regardless of the dollar’s value, which is perfect when you have a large group to lodge, feed and entertain. Speaking of entertainment, Montréal has tons of free activities. You won’t have to spend a fortune to keep your participants busy. This brings us to our final point, and it’s an important one…
 
Montréal is fun!
The city’s reputation speaks for itself. Montréal is a tourist hub, and for good reason! You’ll find loads of interesting—and free!—things to do year round. Montréal has a rich and vibrant cultural scene, with back-to-back festivals for every taste. So, when you plan your meeting, don’t forget to include an outing to one of the city’s culinary or artistic events in the schedule. Having some fun after a long workday is the best team-building activity there is, after all!
 
We look forward to seeing you soon. Bienvenue!
