Place Viger was both a grand hotel and railway station in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, constructed in 1898 and named after Jacques Viger, the first Mayor of the city. Although combined stations and hotels were common in the United Kingdom in the late 19th century, Place Viger was the only such combination in Canada. Place Viger was sold in 2005 to a developer who intended to convert the building to apartments and a new hotel. However, the developer suffered financial difficulties and finally resold the property in 2012.

  • La gare Viger était une gare ferroviaire canadienne, terminus du réseau de la compagnie du Canadien Pacifique, située à Montréal dans la province du Québec. Elle est mise en service en 1897 en remplacement de l'ancienne gare Dalhousie devenue trop petite. La compagnie innove avec un concept gare/hôtel pour son monumental bâtiment voyageurs, au Style Château, qui devient uniquement un hôtel au début des années 1910 lors du déménagement des services du chemin de fer dans un nouveau bâtiment édifié à côté rue de Berri. La gare est fermée en 1951, les deux bâtiments désaffectés perdurent néanmoins. La « gare-hôtel Viger » devient l'édifice Jacques-Viger et la « gare Berri » est utilisé par la municipalité. (fr)
