In
2006, the Mount Stephen Club celebrated its 80th anniversary.
Founded by a group of Montreal businessmen, the Club started
in 1926 on the estate of George Stephen, co-founder and
first President of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The house,
built between 1880 and 1883, is located in the heart of
downtown Montreal, in an area known as the Golden Square
Mile, once the wealthiest residential neighbourhood in
Canada. It is one of the last intact mansions of the area
and one of most beautiful examples of late Victorian Renaissance
architecture in North America. The grandiose, yet muffled
ambience, as well as the fine cuisine of the Mount Stephen
Club have turned this home into a privileged place for
business meetings
and private gatherings or quite simply, refined meals
in a quiet and private setting.
Eighty years on, this Gentlemen's Club has joined the
21st century. George Stephen's house became one of Tidan
Hotel Group's properties in 2006, a transaction made necessary
in light of the growing maintenance and renovation costs
which the Club's Members had to bear over the years.
By joining one of the most prestigious Clubs in North
America, the members are also encouraging the owners with
the continuity of this magnificent and historical heritage
building. Today, the Club is renowned for its reputation
and impeccable service; it offers one of the best foods
in the city. This landmark is open to the public on weekends.
Feel the experience of the musical enchantment on Saturday
night dinner or the pure elegance of the gastronomic Brunch
on Sundays with guided tour of the house. The Club organizes
for its members major social events such as Lobster and
Oyster Festivals, Wine Tastings, Art Exhibitions, Opera
Nights and an Annual Gala-«International Flavors». Membership
gives also all members access to some 300 affiliated clubs
around the world, homes away from home.
There have been many famous visitors to the Club since
its founding, such as Princess Margaret, Princess Benedikt
of Denmark, John Diefenbaker, Pierre-Elliott Trudeau,
Brian Mulroney, Lionel Chevrier, René Lévesque, Lucien
Bouchard, Louise Harel and Pierre Bourque. The mansion
is a sought-after venue for period films. Thus, the Club
has been used by numerous stars, of which Alec Baldwin,
Christopher Plummer, Eric Roberts, Pierre Nadeau, Keith
Marson, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Richard Chamberlain. |
