Located in the heart of the Nation’s Capital and set against a backdrop of spectacular views, the Rideau Club offers its members a unique mix of social, dining and business opportunities – and something more: a place where illustrious past meets distinguished future. Stylish, luxurious and steeped in history, the Rideau Club is the quintessential meeting place for Ottawa's distinguished leaders of today, and aspiring leaders of tomorrow. The Club is one of the oldest establishments of its kind in Canada, predating Confederation. Founded in 1865, its sense of community has long played a valuable role in the lives of its members. Private yet welcoming, our Club is a special place where membership is a privilege extended to ladies and gentlemen who have pride in our Club and show respect for it and each other. The fostering of friendships, social activity and thoughtful discussions is an integral part of our Club membership. The traditional and classic design of our facility is a welcomed setting for our exceptional food, beverage and social ambiance.
