The former Rasco Hotel, dating from 1834, was considered one of the most luxurious in the country. Charles Dickens stayed here in 1842, during the weeks he spent directing three of his plays at the Royal Theatre that once stood just across the street. Francesco Rasco and other Italians were kings of the Montréal hotel industry in the 19th century. 

The hotels built in front of the Market, up to the 1880s, added plenty of life to the district.
