在19世纪晚期的一座历史悠久的建筑内藏着一家酒店Drake Hotel，新的现代侧翼建筑的落成，标志着多伦多标志性的West Queen West街区翻开了新的篇章，德雷克大楼曾一度是多伦多的第一家设计酒店。如今，这家酒店不仅拥有32间新客房，还拥有一个明亮、现代、极具艺术感的公共空间，厚重的黄铜门后是一个优雅的大堂，红色天鹅绒窗帘后是一个舒适的酒吧。

Hidden inside a historic building in the late 19th century is the Drake Hotel, a new modern wing marking a new chapter in Toronto's iconic Queen West neighbourhood, where the Drake was once the city's first design Hotel. Today, the hotel boasts not only 32 new rooms, but also a bright, modern, highly artistic public space with an elegant lobby behind heavy brass doors and a cosy bar behind red velvet curtains.

几个团队同时为新酒店的形象进行设计：Design Agency的设计师、Drake的设计师John Tong和担任建筑建筑师的Diamond Schmitt Architects。值得注意的是，这三个工作室都是West Queen West地区的居民和粉丝，并为当地居民开发了一个新的地标性的空间。

Several teams worked on the image of the new hotel: Design Agency, Drake's John Tong and Diamond Schmitt Architects. It is worth noting that all three studios are residents and fans of the West Queen West area and have developed a new landmark space for local residents.

自从Drake酒店17年前开业以来，这个地区已经从一个隐秘的角落发展成为世界闻名的艺术、时尚和美食绿洲。新翼楼的室内设计是为了展示Drake是如何继续成为这个充满活力的场景的中心的，进行了重新想象和重塑。

Since the Drake opened 17 years ago, the area has grown from a hidden corner to a world-renowned art, fashion and food oasis. The interior of the new wing has been re-imagined and reimagined to show how the Drake continues to be at the centre of this vibrant scene.

酒店大堂已经成为该地区的客人和居民常常会去一个地方，他们在这里聚会，品尝Drake酒店著名的鸡尾酒。折衷的中世纪家具和染色砖壁炉创造了一个经典的热情好客的形象与当代设计。由两根柱子和明亮的中世纪胡桃木图案装饰的长椅是大厅的焦点，而多伦多一家工作室设计的雕塑接待台则体现了大厅的艺术形象。

The hotel lobby has become a popular place for guests and residents of the area to meet and sample the Drake's famous cocktails. Eclectic medieval furniture and stained brick fireplaces create an image of classic hospitality with contemporary design. Benches decorated with two columns and a bright medieval walnut motif are the focal point of the hall, while a sculptural reception desk designed by a Toronto studio embodies the artistic image of the hall.
