Drake Devonshire Inn
Drake Devonshire Inn
The Drake Devonshire Inn is located in the pastoral Prince Edward County town of Wellington, Ontario.
ERA was engaged as architect of record, collaborating with the Drake Hotel and interior designer John Tong of +tongtong inc. to refurbish the century-old Devonshire Inn, integrate it into the landscape, and take advantage of the striking views to Lake Ontario.
The contemporary and modern design includes bold colours, textures, and patterns and an eccentric vibe that flatters the rural and picturesque scenery of dairy farms, wineries, sand dunes, and beaches. A plethora of Canadian art, including paintings and installations, incorporates and integrates a sense of community and culture to the inn.
ERA designed the multi-use glass box to provide an ultra-modern setting for a game of ping-pong! We encourage you to take a trip to Prince Edward County and visit the Drake Devonshire Inn.
