To continue this trip in the Prince Edward County in Ontario<\/a>, I must speak to you about where I stay, thanks to Cadillac Canada, the Merrill House. A little castle built in 1878 by George Merrill, the first magistrate of the County, is now a luxury boutique hotel where many memories are made. Learn more in our interview with the owner, Jordan Martin de Rosales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merrill House: A Castle In The Prince Edward County<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n

You may wonder how a project like this starts. Well, there\u2019s an interesting story behind it. \u201cIt was an ambition for a long time. I was always really passionate about the hotel industry and getting into the hospitality business for most of my life, and as my education developed, I became more interested, especially in the luxury segment. So I moved to London (UK) from Hastings County to do my master\u2019s in luxury brand management. After getting my diploma, I worked for many renowned global photographers. Then the hospitality life got me. I worked for the Grange Hotel Group in London and the Jumeirah group in Dubai. And ultimately started my brand management agency,\u201d relate Mr. Martin de Rosales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may wonder how it came to the Merrill House that we have today? During that time in London, Mr. Martin de Rosales gets more and more interested in having his hotel. Then, one day, at his London home, during Easter as he was working on a project, a revelation came: \u201cThis isn\u2019t my passion. This isn\u2019t what I want to be doing ultimately. And the same week I went to view a little castle in the north of England that had been converted into 13 rooms and suite\u201d adding the Merrill House owner. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

It didn\u2019t happen overnight, as you may wonder. The original idea was that Mr. Martin de Rosales stayed in London, and have a property in the English countryside. But, as a wine lover, he also wanted something in a winery region, so he thought then maybe he could have something in Burgundy and have a place in Paris. Then, he came back to Canada for Christmas. That was three years ago. While at his parents for the holidays, he heard about everything that was happening in Prince Edward County, how it was emerging as a wine region, how quickly it was growing. Subsequently, he found what was called Merrill Inn, at the time, online. He had to go back to London, but then his parents went to view the property then, it was the young entrepreneur time. So he flew back, and the rest is history. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

The first year was in the summer of 2018. \u201cThe hotel was fully booked for the summer. So we ran it through the first season as it was before. It was like a country Inn concept that we renovated last year to launch in summer 2019. So it\u2019s not even a year yet. Which makes sort of the journey,\u201d told the hotelier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Wine Spectator Awards Restaurant<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n

The priority was to build the restaurant, so he hired a full-time wine director to start building up the cellar within the first week. And since then, they have won two Wine Spectator awards (with a third in 2021). They\u2019re the only Wine Spectator Awards winner between Toronto and Ottawa, and as there is only one in the country\u2019s capital, making just two between Toronto and Montr\u00e9al. \u201cThe wine program was vital to me. There are many local Prince Edward County wineries and then our full Old World wine list as well. We have nearly 300 wines now. The three main segments are first the hotel, but then the cellar, and then the food,\u201d added Mr. Martin.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a champagne list of about ten products with Bollinger, Dom Perignon, Cristal (de Roederer), Veuve Clicquot, Ruinart, etc. We also have our house champagne; it\u2019s called Bernard Depoivre, which, I think, one other restaurant in Canada has, but it\u2019s a great local connection. The gallerists at Maison Depoivre, which I\u2019m buying my local art through, are from France, one of them is from Burgundy, and the other is from Champagne. The family of the latter has a Champagne house, Bernard Depoivre. So it\u2019s like a local Real Champagne, which is an exciting connection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merrill House: The Ambiance<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Merrill-House---Office\"

I ask Mr. Martin de Rosales how his influence transcends in the Merrill House; the first thing he said: \u201cOften in North America with a house like this, the people took one or two approaches. It\u2019s either creates a pastiche of the past, where everything should be kept with the period, or entirely modern. I mean, this space is entirely modern. For me, it was about to do the same as European country houses, where they organically grow generation after generation and new pieces are added to the collection contemporary to the time. But in keeping with the style that has and respecting the heritage and modernizing it and that. Pieces from all over the world and all different periods can live together in aesthetic harmony. They don\u2019t need to be 18th-century French pieces or something that resembles that\u201d precise the Merrill House owner. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Merrill-House---Room\"

As for the decoration, the Ontario-born hotelier told me he shipped many of his owned paintings from England, objects of art and select furniture. In that year of renovation, he started to buy a lot of furniture, which gave him a chance to plan the renovations.<\/p>\n\n\n

New Property on the Way<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you may know, we, entrepreneurs, always have many projects. It\u2019s also the case of Mr. Martin. He\u2019s focusing on a new property in Prince Edward County, about 20 minutes from the Merrill House, where they will plant a vineyard, and they additionally have a mature orchard there, so maybe a cider will come. They will also have a kitchen garden where they will be growing their products for the restaurants. There\u2019s going to have a private beach club for the Merrill House guests in the years to come. With a pool, a bar and a lunch restaurant, which will also provide for private picnics. They delay the second property for 2021, but we had a glimpse of Mr. Martin de Rosales words. \u201cIt will be very modern with a glass structure where you can see outside, an ambiance that resembles what\u2019s down here in the conservatory. There is no historic built house to fix; all of the estate has a fascinating heritage. And there are about five acres of Parkland that was planted in the early seventies\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

I then ask Mr. Martin what he likes the most of the hotelier life. He replies by saying that it brings together so many passions: The wine side of the cellar, the food with the restaurant, he loved the design side of improving the hotel and meeting so many interesting people that come through Merrill House. \u201cFifty guests can come through here every day and, of course, I don\u2019t get to speak with everyone, but it\u2019s special when people are interested in a tour or in learning more about the house, then it\u2019s nice to connect with them. And often, we share some background and some interests,\u201d concludes Mr. Martin.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last sentence to resume the passion of Mr. Martin de Rosales and the community \u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful thing about Prince Edward County is that so many instrumental, entrepreneurial people out here trying to make their dreams happen\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
