Restaurant Development
In January 2010 Crush Wine Bar & Restaurant was selected and purchased by Harvest Hospitality Group. Currently under the wing of Harvest Hospitality Group, Crush Wine Bar & Restaurant will continue to build on its past 8 years of success as the classic yet trendy destination of wine and culinary finesse for those seeking an eclectic wine and dine experience in the King West district of Toronto. The restaurant was recognized as one of the Top 10 Restaurants of 2008 by Toronto’s NOW magazine. Chef Michael Wilson continues to be inspired, developing fresh menus that offer culinary delights made from the finest ingredients. Couple great food with an outstanding selection of fine wines in an inviting atmosphere and you have the “Crush Experience.”
This 8,000 square foot factory-turned-brasserie seats up to 105 people in the main dining room. Up to 40 people can be accommodated on the outdoor patio during the warmer months of the year. Two private dining rooms are available and offer seating for up to 58 people, providing the perfect venue for intimate groups and social functions.
HHG CEO, Rena McDonald, recognized Crush as the clear winner in the search for a Toronto restaurant that would suit both the leisure guest and corporate client. Ms. McDonald cited several key factors for choosing Crush over the 30 plus other prospects that had been under consideration. Ms. McDonald is quoted as stating, “Crush Wine Bar & Restaurant has a well-established reputation both in and outside of Toronto. It offers a prime location in a growing restaurant hub and of course superior food and a dedicated focus on wine. These are factors that align extremely well with the Lais Hotel Properties Limited brands and will offer an ideal alternative for our leisure and group clientele.”
Guests at Crush can expect the same passion to offer outstanding food and wine experiences. They may also notice subtle enhancements that Harvest Hospitality Group’s expertise will bring to the establishment. Guest Chef appearances and new promotional practices are but a few of the planned enhancements under the new ownership.

Resorts
The Millcroft Inn & Spa was purchased in 2008. The four diamond property in the Village of Alton, Caledon is less than an hour’s drive northwest of Toronto.
First built in 1881 as a knitting mill, The Millcroft Inn & Spa stands today as a serene country inn. Its 52 guestrooms and Main Mill Dining Room have been awarded the prestigious CAA/AAA four diamond award every year since 1995. Offering 4,700 square feet of meeting space and a well-equipped Conference Centre, the award-winning Millcroft Spa features state-of-the-art facilities in its 9,000 sq. ft. spa and a broad range of innovative and expertly delivered services to overnight and day guests. Set on 10 acres of protected forest and Shaw’s Creek, the Millcroft Inn & Spa is the definitive country retreat in Toronto’s backyard.
Lifestyle Residential Development
The future development site for 73 lifestyle residences – condo, towns and singles. The land is located across from the Pillar & Post Hotel in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Residents of this exclusive lifestyle community will have the privilege of access to the Pillar & Post Hotel amenities and services. The exterior design of the residences will be modeled after the Pillar & Post Hotel.
Vintage Hotels
In 1997, three top landmark hotels in Niagara-on-the-Lake joined together to create a new standard of elegance and sophistication in the region. Since then, Vintage Hotels (formerly known as Vintage Inns) has worked relentlessly to turn these magnificent properties into destinations for the most discerning travelers. In 2008 the grand vision expanded with the addition of The Millcroft Inn & Spa, a four-diamond property in the Village of Alton-Caledon.
Vintage Hotels has built a large team of dedicated professionals who are committed to exceptional customer experiences while upholding the friendliness and sincerity of a small-town community. Vintage Hotels’ Service First training program ensures gold standard service excellence from each and every employee.
Working together with local farmers, vintners, and artists, the team of experts at Vintage Hotels has created an experience that brings fine cuisine and great wine together with top cultural and recreational attractions.
In the end, though, it all comes down to the hotels and the satisfaction that the properties and services inspire in guests. Each Vintage Hotel is unique, down to the finest details, and each guarantees an extraordinary experience.
