Host or Hostess

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, The Drake is a growing Canadian hospitality brand focused on lifestyle hotels, food + drink and special events.

We're more than a place to sleep, eat + drink; we believe culture and community matter and are committed to an exceptional hospitality experience delivered in our signature style; one that is genuine, personal, memorable and embraces the energy of discovery.

We value honesty and spontaneity because that's the stuff of real connection and believe that hospitality is an act of care.

The Drake Hotel (Toronto), Drake Devonshire Inn (Wellington, Prince Edward County), and Drake Motor Inn (Wellington, Prince Edward County) are each reflective of their respective neighbourhoods as inclusive hubs for unique and diverse experiences through art, culture and hospitality with great seasonal menus, a robust cocktail list, carefully curated curiosities, and genuine hospitality excellence for all.
