Venue

Drake hotelier and visionary Jeff Stoberbrings 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 an11-room and

two-suite inn. The relaxed, lakefront innis tucked just off Wellington’s main street, nestled in a treed property with aprivate waterfront and a meandering creek.

The historic building and its new additionstake their aesthetic cues from Ontario’s vernacular architecture, celebratingits pitched roofs, covered porches, brick chimneys, multi-purpose barns, ad-hoc

renovations, off-the-shelf buildingmaterials and mismatched furnishings. Though it was inspired by the qualitiesof a simpler time, this inn has a contemporary view of the world. As such, itsfeatures are

blended with contemporary art installationsby emerging and well-known art stars, and plenty of doses of the Drake’sidiosyncratic and mischievous personality.

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 allseasons retreat for a weekend; gather with friends, family or colleagues for aspecial getaway or celebration; or simply drop in for a meal or a drink. TheInn

offers a variety of entertaining spacesincluding a full-service restaurant in a Douglas-fir lined dining hall completewith an oversized, double-sided fireplace, a screened-in, Adirondack styleporch
