Design Hotel In Toronto | The Drake Hotel Design By 3rd Uncle Design

The Drake Hotel
Starting with the cultural vision of the owner in 2002, to create a unique experience that explores the relationship between Hospitality, Culture and Community, a creative team of extraordinarily talented professionals and artisans was assembled, including 3rd Uncle Design, an award winning Toronto based design firm. The design process engaged the history of the Drake and its neighbourhood, as recorded in the fabric of the building. The goal was for The Drake to provide those that walked through its doors with a unique, storied experience. At the same time, the Drake would be grounded in providing its guests with world class service and attention in an environment that paid homage to exceptional and timeless design. In 2007, designers were yet again commissioned to re-imagine the Drake’s Lounge and Dining Room back to its 1940s golden age roots. The new look embraces the elegance, decadence and dignity of a special moment in time with leather booths, green leather banquettes, marble and brass fixtures, custom designed chandeliers and commissioned murals. Key to the redesign was Room 222, a Private Dining Room just on the edge of the action. Capturing the exclusivity and glamour of the Hollywood golden age, Room 222 features mid-century reproduction swivel chairs, amber teak wood mouldings, marble and glass finishes and a lush, Drake-designed, 20-foot mural spanning its length.
