Always There

Dating back to 1879, The Royal has been lovingly restored by a local family, reimagined for today’s traveller while honouring its strong history in the community.

A stone’s throw from picturesque wineries, charming restaurants and idyllic natural attractions, The Royal is the ideal jumping-off point for exploring everything that makes The County special. Join us on Picton Main Street and discover why we love to call The County home.

Our Community

We are deeply rooted in Prince Edward County. We live just up the road at Edwin County Farms where we grow and harvest many of the organic ingredients we serve in our restaurants for your breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.

Our farm-to-table ethos extends throughout the hotel, encompassing our rich community of artisans and producers, friends whose talent, passion and hard work are woven throughout everything we do. Our commitment to sustainably supporting this land and its people is what drives our sense of purpose.
