Since it opened in 1832 on the cliff side of the Elora Gorge, Elora’s grain mill has been the focal point of the town, commanding a picturesque view as the Grand River churns and flows below.

When the mill ceased operations after more than a hundred years, the five-storey stone building was turned into a boutique hotel that became a hub for locals and visitors alike until it closed over a decade ago. Now the hotel has reopened this year under new owners, Pearl Hospitality, and Leedwood was pleased to have been able to be part of the refurbishment team.
