Our History & Heritage
From its origins as a grand Victorian mansion to its transformation into a vibrant hotel, The Strathallan has been a witness to and a participant in the cultural evolution of the city. Our commitment to preserving the essence of our rich heritage, while providing contemporary luxury, sets us apart as a unique destination.
The Strathallan's story is one of transformation and innovation. Originally established as senior housing in the 1970s, it was reimagined into a 157-room hotel in 1979. Through the years, The Strathallan has expanded its offerings, including the acquisition of historic properties and the creation of luxurious spaces, all while maintaining a deep respect for its storied past.
The Century Club of Rochester: A Legacy of Culture
The Century Club of Rochester, chartered in 1910, continues to be a symbol of the city's rich cultural heritage. Once meeting in the grand Imperial Powers Hotel, the Club now thrives under The Strathallan's management.
It maintains its tradition of educational, cultural, and social opportunities in a setting that respects its historical significance while embracing modern needs.
