The Dominion Hotel in Minden has been recognized for good food and outstanding customer experience by eviivo, an international cloud-based property booking and management platform.
Hotel owner Shawn Chamberlin said his establishment will be included in eviivo’s upcoming cookbook publication, Inspired Stays, Local Flavors.
The book was distributed internationally on Independent Accommodation Day (IAD), March 24.
Chamberlin said the book features best-loved recipes from independent hosts around the world.
Chamberlin added The Dominion Hotel has been the “hot spot” in downtown Minden since it first started providing food, drink, entertainment, and accommodation to travellers and locals in 1865.
It is the oldest business in Haliburton County and one of the oldest continually operating hotels in Canada.
“Indeed, this business predates Canada, having been opened two years before Confederation,” Chamberlin said.
As for the cookbook, he said their fish and chips is the featured entry.
“The decades-old recipe is simply made with the hotel’s own Dominion Hotel 1865 Lager and continues to be a best seller, especially on ‘Fish Friday’.”
Shawn and wife, Elli Chamberlin, said they were excited by the recognition.
“Our food quality and customer experience are top priorities. We’ve known the popularity of our fish and chips. It is so nice to be recognized for having our food and location included in this international cookbook,” Elli Chamberlin said.
