We finally have some more news concerning the plan to revitalize the maritime Hotel on Guy and Rene-Levesque. A few months back a small render was displayed in the window of the hotel. Now UrbMtl on mtlurb cites a La Presse article which claims the project will be launched within the next 2 months.
The design hasn't been finalized yet, but it seems it will be 39 floors (probably 120m), this is what we have so far:

The hotel closes down in 12 days.
It appears the 4 storey portion on the right will be demolished, the rotunda and the tower will remain.
