History

Summary of construction stages
Year Construction stages Architects Builders
2012-2017 Construction of a contemporary hotel at the rear, comprising 80 rooms, shops, and an underground parking garage with approximately 96 spaces.[1] Lemay / Leclerc Architects (Architects : Michel Lauzon, Gino Mauri, Didier Heckel, Sandra Neill, Jean-François St-Onge, Bryan Marchand, Jean-François Fortin-Gadoury, Virginie Pontbriand, Damien Leman, Geneviève Telmosse, François Desmarais)[2] Construction Tidan (Builder), Nicolet, Chartrand, Knoll Ltd. (Structure), Pageau Morel et associés inc. (Mecanic/Electric), Technorm (Building Security), Lemay (Interior Design)

In 2012, a luxury hotel project, "Le Mount Stephen" Hotel, began to take shape, partially occupying the former George Stephen House, designed by William Tutin Thomas. This project required the construction of a contemporary addition at the rear, costing $25 million.[2] Designed by the firm Lemay/Leclerc Architectes, this new eleven-story addition was originally planned to include approximately 80 guest rooms, reception and meeting rooms, a spa, a jacuzzi, a sauna, a massage and fitness room, a restaurant, shops, and an underground parking garage with approximately 90 spaces.[1] That same year, the architectural firm received an award of excellence from the Canadian Architect Awards of Excellence for the design of the Mount Stephen Hotel building.[2]

Construction of this hotel began in 2012 with the demolition of the west and north wings and continued until April 2017.[2] Its opening, originally scheduled for June 2015, took place on May 1, 2017.[3][4] On this occasion, the hotel notably inaugurated the George Bar, a restaurant and bar seating two hundred guests, part of the Toronto-based Oliver & Bonacini group.[5]

In August 2017, Roger Federer was interviewed by Peter de Jonge of The New York Times at the George Bar in a "small room adjoining the lobby" of the George Stephen House.[6] Furthermore, in September 2017, the business daily Les Affaires revealed that the hotel "had already welcomed its first international stars, including some extremely wealthy princes from the Arab world."[7]

On March 27, 2018, Le Mount Stephen Hotel hosted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a fundraising event organized by the Liberal Party of Canada.[8]

On September 19, 2024, Le Mount Stephen Hotel was awarded one key from the Michelin Guide[9].

The hotel

Upon its opening, the Mount Stephen Hotel featured 69 rooms, 16 suites, 4 lofts, and 1 suite of approximately 465 square meters, as well as shops, a restaurant (Bar George), and an indoor parking garage with 96 spaces.[1][10][11] The hotel also included two reception rooms (the "Elizabeth" room of approximately 465 square meters and another room of approximately 167 square meters), a gym, and a spa called "Spa Prestige Mbiospa."[10] From its opening, the hotel was a member of The Leading Hotels of the World consortium.[10]

Bar George, a restaurant owned by the Oliver & Bonacini group, has been run by chefs Anthony Walsh and Kevin Ramasawny since 2017, who offer "a menu of British culinary classics."[12][13] The restaurant's interior design was created by Metaphor Design.[14] This restaurant can accommodate up to 200 people.[14]
