The Royal Muskoka Hotel was a luxury summer resort hotel that operated from 1901 to 1952 on Lake Rosseau in Ontario's Muskoka region. The hotel was built by the Muskoka Lakes Navigation Company and was serviced by its steamers. During its first three decades, the Royal was Ontario's preeminent summer resort and attracted guests from the upper echelons of Canadian and American society. After the onset of the Great Depression, the hotel struggled through the 1930s. During World War II it saw a mild revival as vacations in Europe were no longer possible, but following the war its problems resumed. In the early hours of 18 May 1952, a fire razed the entire structure. Read more on Wikipedia
