Nestled at the top of a hill on Metcalfe Street, The Dalby Building was originally constructed in 1865 by W.H.L. LaPenotiere and has long been a defining feature of the historic nature of Elora’s architectural charm.

Reimagined in 2025 into an ultra charming boutique hotel that seamlessly blends modern luxuries and nods to Scottish heritage, this grand building lived many other lives and chapters which the locals still talk about today.
