An integrated and respectful design

Established in the heart of the Golden Square Mile, this new hotel complex represents a unique opportunity to highlight of the Mount Stephen Club without compromising the integrity and heritage of this 19th-century bourgeois architectural jewel. To incorporate the new features of the site, the proposed architectural scheme plans to locate the hotel at the rear side of the site, liberating the perimeter of the existing building. This ingenious distribution can integrate the prestigious Mount Stephen Club in a coherent and functional ensemble in regards with the daily activities of the hotel.
