Le Mount Stephen is a luxury hotel located partly in the former George Stephen House in the Golden Square Mile of the Ville-Marie borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
At its opening, the hotel featured 69 rooms, 16 suites, 4 lofts, and 1 suite of approximately 465 square meters, as well as shops, a restaurant, and 96 indoor parking spaces. Originally scheduled to open in June 2015, the hotel finally opened on May 1, 2017. It is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World consortium.
The hotel "Le Mount Stephen" is located at 1430-1440 Drummond Street in the Golden Square Mile of the Ville-Marie borough of Montreal. It is approximately 2.7 km from Old Montreal. The hotel is served by the Peel metro station on the Green Line and by bus route "15 Sainte-Catherine".
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. 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. 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.
Construction of this hotel began in 2012 with the demolition of the west and north wings and continued until April 2017. Its opening, originally scheduled for June 2015, took place on May 1, 2017. 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.
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.

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