Donegana's Hotel, Former luxury hotel in Old Montreal, Canada

Donegana's Hotel stood on the north-west corner of Notre-Dame and Bonsecours Streets, a block from Bonsecours Market. Jean-Marie Donegana kept the Bingham house facade but added extensively to the rear, extending the building to the Champ de Mars. It held 150 apartments, each with its own bathroom, and a dining room measuring 100 by 218 feet.

The structure originated as a private residence in 1821, later serving from 1837 to 1843 as the official residence for Canada's Governors General. Following destruction during the Montreal Riots of 1849, it was reconstructed and operated until 1880, when it transitioned to a hospital.

The hotel's name came from Jean-Marie Donegana, formerly manager of Rasco's Hotel, who bought the Bingham house in 1845. Its dining room, 100 by 218 feet, hosted Montreal's first Charity Ball in 1847 for the Montreal Maternity Hospital, under Governor General Lord Elgin. Lord Mark Kerr once rode his horse through the three entrance doors into the dining room to amuse American guests.

The location sits in the heart of Old Montreal, making it easy to explore the area on foot. Being close to Bonsecours Market allows visitors to see several historical sites during a single visit.

In 1847, Lord Mark Kerr, aide-de-camp to Governor General Lord Elgin, rode his horse through the hotel's three large doors into the dining room to amuse American guests; they responded with invitations to New York. The hotel also hosted the first Charity Ball for the Montreal Maternity Hospital.
