InterContinental Lyon - Hotel Dieu

Built on the banks of the Rhone River between 1741 and 1761 following the plans of architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot, the Hotel Dieu was once a renowned surgical center. In 1914 the hospital was requisitioned by the French Army as a military hospital. During World War II the Hotel Dieu was severly damaged on many level, and the Grand Dome Soufflot destroyed by fire on September 4, 1944. The reconstruction wouldn't be completed until the 1960s.

The building that now is home to Villa Florentine was known as the "Maison de la Providence" in 1707, at which time it became home to a congregation of Trinitarians. The purpose of the institution, which was founded by Louise-Blanche Therese de Ballon, was to provide young girls with sufficient an education so that they could earn their own income when they turned twenty.
