History
Langdon Hall was built between 1898 and 1902 as a 32-room, 25,000-square-foot summer residence for Eugene Langdon Wilks, a great-grandson of American magnate John Jacob Astor, and his wife Pauline Kingsmill, near Cambridge (Blair), Ontario. Designed in the American Federal Revival style by New York architect Edward Lee Young, with construction supervised by Toronto's Eden Smith, the mansion's front lawn was laid out by the Olmsted family of landscape architects.
The estate remained in the Wilks family until the early 1980s. In 1987 architect William Bennett and his wife Mary Beaton purchased the property and, after roughly two years of restoration, opened it as a country house hotel in 1989. Now a Relais & Châteaux member and one of Canada's most decorated dining destinations, Langdon Hall has been expanded to around 58 rooms and offers a 10,000-square-foot spa.
