"150 years ago Picton, Ontario was important enough to merit a rather grand railroad hotel, but prior to its recent redevelopment, the splendid red-brick Royal Hotel was on the way to demolition. Now, with wine-country tourism on a major upswing, there is again a need for a stylish and luxurious lodging on the Royal’s level. Today it mixes heritage glamour with contemporary cool, filling the rooms with high-end modern comforts and adding enticements like a spa, a sauna, and a seasonal outdoor pool. Farm-to-table cooking is a major point of emphasis, as are Prince Edward County’s local wines." - Tablet Hotels
