History
Le Mount Stephen occupies the George Stephen House, a Renaissance Revival mansion built between 1881 and 1883 by architect William Tutin Thomas for George Stephen, 1st Baron Mount Stephen and the first president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Standing on Drummond Street in Montreal's Golden Square Mile, the house was conceived as a total work of art, with a grey limestone façade, a Mexican-onyx fireplace, stained glass to designs by Henry Holiday, and gold-plated fixtures. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1971.
After George Stephen departed, the house served as the exclusive Mount Stephen Club from 1927 until the club closed in 2011. The Tidan group acquired the residence in 2006, and a luxury hotel project launched in 2012, opening as Le Mount Stephen on 1 May 2017 with a 90-room contemporary annex designed by Lemay/Leclerc Architects.
