Complexe Desjardins is a 152 m (499 ft) office, hotel complex and shopping mall located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Opened as part of a broad scheme to develop the eastern end of downtown, it is located in the quadrilateral formed by Saint Catherine, Saint-Urbain, and Jeanne Mance streets, and René Lévesque Boulevard (45°30′27″N 73°33′52″W / 45.5075°N 73.56444°W).
Its innovative architectural design consists of four towers housing offices of the Mouvement Desjardins, Quebec Government offices and other companies, as well as the Hyatt Regency Montreal Hotel, linked by a vast atrium. This design produces the effect of an outdoor market and square indoors.
The Complexe Desjardins is connected by the underground city to Place des Arts and the Place-des-Arts metro station to the north, and the Complexe Guy-Favreau, the Palais des congrès de Montréal, and Place-d'Armes metro station to the south.
