THE COMMERCIAL ELORA
Originally - The Commercial Hotel, built in 1848 but expanded in the decades that followed, was more than just a stone structure even then. It was the beating heart of a small village’s social, cultural, and political life.
BUILT IN 1848
During the mid-19th century, it was used regularly to host political rallies, town council meetings, and social gatherings of all kinds. Elora’s civic and social life thrived at this hotel, establishing it as an incredibly vital piece of the village’s identity.

KAT FLORENCE
Renovating Elora’s Historic Commercial Hotel is deeply personal to me, I grew up in Elora. Surrounded by the vast beauty of the gorge, the eclectic downtown, and the magic of the cinema.
As a kid, watching films here opened up a whole new world to me. They were my first glimpse into different cultures, places, and ideas far beyond what I knew growing up in a small Canadian town.
Now, having travelled to every continent in the world, I can trace my love for exploring back to those early days. That’s why it was so important to me to save not just the hotel but also the theatre, a place that sparked curiosity and imagination for myself and for so many others.
