In a city that’s constantly reinventing itself, there’s something magnetic about a place that feels timeless. Phillips, nestled just steps from the namesake Phillips Square in downtown Montreal, isn’t trying to compete with flashier venues. It doesn’t have to — its draw lies in understated elegance, architectural integrity, and insider appeal.

Where Art Deco Meets Executive Poise

Housed in a restored 1920s gem, Phillips is a venue for those who appreciate details: polished wood, deco flourishes, artful lighting. It’s where you host the kind of dinner that begins with fine wine and ends in spontaneous ideation, or stage a product reveal that whispers luxury rather than shouts hype.

“Clients love Phillips because it doesn’t feel like a rental space — it feels like a chapter from a private club,” says a local creative director who regularly stages brand events here.

For corporate teams seeking exclusive Montreal dining experiences or planning strategy retreats with ambiance, Phillips delivers a rare blend: privacy, poise, and personality.

A Blank Canvas with Cultural Weight

Unlike many modern event venues, Phillips doesn’t over-program the experience. Instead, it offers a flexible footprint ideal for everything from executive dinners to gallery-style receptions. With its warm interior palette, heritage bones, and adaptive lighting, the space adapts seamlessly — from daytime brainstorms to after-dark soirées.

Paired with Host's Conciergerie service, your team gains access to tailored itineraries that extend beyond the venue walls — think curated post-event cocktail crawls, private gallery tours in the neighborhood, or chef-led dinners brought in by local culinary talent.

And when paired with the Event Production team, you’re not just renting a space — you’re creating a branded experience, down to the scent profile and tableware.
