At Bota Bota in Montreal's Old Port, extra-large portholes measuring 5 feet in diameter boast almost 40 inches of depth, affording guests a unique leatherette-covered perching spot and vantage point.
Besides offering uniquely framed views of the city, new porthole panels shield clients in treatment rooms from cold Montreal winters via construction of thermal glass sandwiched between steel. The vertical window can be opened to let in fresh air.
The main staircase features a mesh guardrail and maple stair treads. It provides access to the Pont Soleil, where guests enjoy terraces, pools and baths, and the sauna.
The ferry's previous machinery was removed to make way for the men's and women's locker rooms. The lockers are steel while the benching slats are cedar.
