The Best New Hotels in the World: 2023 Hot List | Condé Nast Traveler

"When former Ontario finance minister Greg Sorbara purchased a family farm in rural Prince Edward County nearly 20 years ago, he never imagined how far his new roots would spread. After learning the crumbling structure that was once The Royal was slated for demolition in 2014, he snapped it up and made restoring the former gem a family endeavor. Now, the hotel is back and better than ever, offering casual luxury that honors both Prince Edward County’s roots and current status as a wine tourism hot spot. The 33 rooms put a modern spin on Victorian design —all highly touchable textiles and fresh takes on classic details. Meanwhile, the restaurant pulls ingredients from the Sorbara family’s Edwin County Farms, and a guests-only pool deck makes The Royal the place to book during Prince Edward County’s busy summer season. Rooms from $369." - CNT Editors
