The Royal Hotel in Picton, Ontario, underwent a significant transformation led by the Sorbara family and Giannone Petricone Associates. After acquiring the dilapidated property in 2013, they revived it into a vibrant 28-room hotel complete with various dining options, a spa, and a landscaped terrace. The design harmonizes the historical context of Victorian architecture with contemporary tastes, creating a rich experience that contrasts genteel traditions and local informality. This restoration aims not only to preserve history but also to fortify Picton's role within Prince Edward County's thriving cultural scene.
"The Royal is designed to be a transporting experience while deeply rooted in the local context. The experience benefits from the charged contrast between 'genteel' and 'real' elements."
"Within the building's three salvageable brick walls, the team established a new 28-room hotel with a cafe, three bars, a fine-dining restaurant, a spa, a gym, and a sauna."
