Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal

Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Canada · built 1645

The Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal (French pronunciation: [otɛl djø də mɔ̃ʁeal], founded in 1645) was the first hospital established in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Hôtel-Dieu, literally translated in English as Hotel of God, is an archaic French term for hospital, referring to the origins of hospitals as religious institutions. Its emergency room and function as an active hospital ended in 2017, and as of 2020 serves as a COVID-19 test site during the COVID-19 pandemic in Montreal.
