Rural retreat in Southern Ontario’s Prince Edward County
Ten years after its revolutionary launch in downtown Toronto, the Drake Hotel brand is celebrating with the addition of a rural country inn, bar and restaurant in the historic town of Wellington in Prince Edward County—an area renowned for its artisanal foods, new wines, beautiful freshwater beaches and seasonal activities. Soft launched in September 2014, the Drake Devonshire will officially celebrate its grand opening May 2015. All Photos © Nikolas Koenig
↑ 酒店夜景。一侧有大树浓荫庇护的露台与湖泊相连，白天在这里可以晒日光浴，夜晚能够赏星观月。
Cedar bleachers cascade around a tree down to the lake’s shore and provide a place to gather, sunbathe and stargaze. Venue Drake hotelier and visionary Jeff Stober brings back the original Drake designer John Tong and his design studio, +tongtong, to help him and the Drake team reinvent a circa 1800 foundry as an 11-room and two-suite inn. The relaxed, lakefront inn is tucked just off Wellington’s main street, nestled in a treed property with a private waterfront and a meandering creek. The historic building and its new additions take their aesthetic cues from Ontario’s vernacular architecture, celebrating its pitched roofs, covered porches, brick chimneys, multi-purpose barns, ad-hoc renovations, off-the-shelf building materials and mismatched furnishings. Though it was inspired by the qualities of a simpler time, this inn has a contemporary view of the world. As such, its features are blended with contemporary art installations by emerging and well-known art stars, and plenty of doses of the Drake’s idiosyncratic and mischievous personality.

Looking back towards the Pavilion, local Prince Edward County artist Don Maynard’s Flock recalls birds in flight. From a distance, the play of light and shadow creates an abstract pattern. Moving closer, the work is revealed as individual aluminum airplanes stuck nose-first into the wall.

The hinged screens of the Pavilion offer a shaded awning to the outdoor deck and open to bring the airy breezes into the screened in area.
↑ 入口有顶走廊，为游客提供庇护并开放到达湖岸的道路。
The covered porch hugs the entry of the inn, offering a quiet place to relax, and a clear view of the lake just beyond.
↑ 公共休息室具有古老华丽但不失活力的装饰风格。
A vibrant mix of patterns and textures including ornate decorative wall and floor tiles, floral wallpaper and exposed brick create a patchwork that sets the theme for the entire project. 酒店有多种娱乐空间：餐厅有超大的壁炉，还有阿迪朗达克风格的廊亭，公众活动厅风格是老式的，另外酒吧外面的甲板直通到湖边。 Guests are encouraged to escape to an all seasons retreat for a weekend; gather with friends, family or colleagues for a special getaway or celebration; or simply drop in for a meal or a drink. The Inn offers a variety of entertaining spaces including a full-service restaurant in a Douglas-fir lined dining hall complete with an oversized, double-sided fireplace, a screened-in, Adirondack style porch pavilion, a Philip Johnson inspired glass ‘box’, an old fashioned living room and a covered bar and outdoor deck with bleachers cascading down to the lake.

The main corridor leads visitors to the main Dining Room and terminates with a framed view of the lake.

The semi-open kitchen is framed by patterned tiles, sculptural steel coat racks by +tongtong and a blackboard wall illustrating local sites and seasonal events.

The main bar of white painted wood, black steel, and marble slab evokes historic country general stores with open shelving displaying a wide range of items. Here, the choices displayed are made up of local wines to the region, amongst other libations.

Warmed by a working fireplace, the Living Room, in the heart of the original house is an intimate hub linking the restaurant and reception to the Glass Box beyond and to the rooms and suites upstairs.

↑ 餐厅的部分被悬挑，小溪从下方流过。设计尊重自然并与自然融为一体，让用户领略到湖泊，溪流还有自然的无尽魅力。
The Dining Room, cantilevered over the creek.
Our approach looked beyond the rehabilitation of the former foundry to create a special moment over the mouth of the creek. The dining room cantilevers the site’s most valuable assets in an effort to reduce the impact of the collection of gabled forms. From this point, users can appreciate the movement of the creek throughout the seasons against the striking views of Lake Ontario.

Destination history and what to do: Prince Edward County is located in Southern Ontario on a large headland at the eastern end of Lake Ontario. Accessible from Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Upstate New York, the County is a municipality made up of several quaint villages, with all local, year-round attractions. Locals and visitors make up a crowd of history buffs, outdoors enthusiasts, foodies, wine connoisseurs and young families. The 700 sq. km of low-lying fertile fields that is more known as Prince Edward County were a gift from the British monarchy to the Loyalists following the American Revolution. Two centuries later, generations of perfecting agriculture in a relatively isolated rural locale has evolved into a culinary retreat for foodies. Farm to table fare is prepared by expert chefs in both food trucks and restaurants. Limestone rich soils have given rise to Canada’s newest booming wine region, specializing in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with various varietals from dozens of wineries to boast. Winemakers in PEC are serious about their craft but set aside all pretention for tasting experiences. Prince Edward County is a region surrounded by fresh water lakes with numerous natural attractions. Most notable is Sandbanks Provincial Park - known for its expansive sandy beaches and dunes. Throughout the County people participate in bird watching, fishing, and ice fishing all winter on Lake Ontario. The beautiful environment has made the region into a haven for artists who can tackle creative endeavours undisturbed, with a theatre company, galleries, studios, and artist cooperatives nestled all over the peninsula. Getting There:
Wellington is a two hour-drive from Toronto, a three-hour drive from downtown Ottawa, and four to five hours from Montreal. The Drake Devonshire is open year-round. Rates start at $229 CAD.
