About the role
The Drake has been a part of the community and our guests’ lives since 2004.
The Drake is a growing Canadian hospitality brand focused on lifestyle hotels, food + drink and special events. To this day, we’re the destination for the curious.
At The Drake, we celebrate emerging music and art, serve food and drinks that reimagine the classics, and inspire our team and guests to embrace fresh perspectives.

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.

About The Drake
The Drake Group brings together over 60 years of engineering, manufacturing expertise and industry capability under the one roof.
In 2017 the Groups primary brands of Drake Trailers, O'Phee Trailers and Drake Collectibles were combined with our agency brands of BoXLoader, Cometto and Sunseeker East Coast Australia. This has further strengthened each brand's position as market leaders.
From the outset, The Drake Group has prided itself on quality, reliability and innovation. The Drake Group has been a driving force in the Australian heavy haulage and transport industry for over 60 years, pioneering a range of revolutionary models, both pint size and "Drake Size", that have ensured the groups continued success.
The diversification and integration of the group means our core capabilities can be used across several market sectors, providing quality and consistency to those markets.
