WELLINGTON, Ont. — The Drake Devonshire Inn in Prince Edward County picked up three prizes at the annual Hospitality Design Awards in New York City in early June.

Presented by Hospitality Design magazine, the Wellington, Ont. property — with 11 rooms and two suites — won Best in Show, Boutique/Lifestyle Hotel and Boutique/Lifestyle Guestrooms or Suites. There were a total of 560 entries from around the world. 

To create the winning look, Jeff Stober, founder and chief executive officer of Drake Hotel Properties, brought on John Tong of +tongtong studio to reinvent a circa-1800 foundry.
