Stork Club 1996: On Dec. 14, 1996 saw the celebration of yet another milestone at the San Ignacio Hotel. The opening of the newly constructed “ Stork Club” named and dedicated to its founder. Mr. Bedran’s dreams continue to flourish today as the “Stork Club”, under the Management of the San Ignacio Resort Hotel, continues to provide entertainment for the people of San Ignacio and it’s surrounding towns and villages with the best Club and Bar amenities Belize has to offer. We recall with much pride the weeks before the opening of the Stork Club in 1996 when the Bedran family gathered to discuss business and to find a name for the new bar. It was not until after everyone had made suggestions including some Western names and even Iguana themes, that Mr. Escandar Bedran, being as direct and assertive as ever, stood up and addressed his family by saying. “There is only one name which can best be used for the new bar… The Stork Club.”

So let it be told in the history books that today 50 Years later the “Stork Club” is proud to be San Ignacio’s and Belize’s best Club. As the years went by Mr. Escandar retired. His dream continues today as his Hotel remains under the management and ownership of his children. Truly a Man for All Seasons…
