The Laurentian Hotel was a 1000-room hotel on Dorchester Street, now René Lévesque Boulevard, in Montreal. The hotel was built in 1948 and demolished in 1978.[1] The building was designed by Charles Davis Goodman, who was the architect of a number of prominent Streamline Moderne structures in the city, including the Jewish General Hospital and Bens De Luxe Delicatessen & Restaurant.[2]
At the time, it was the largest hotel ever demolished in Canada.[3] The La Laurentienne Building now stands on the site of the former hotel.[4]
