But in 1910, an overwhelming public response inspired the addition of a large, multi-room complex to the Victorian mansion. The complex was later transformed into an exclusive girl’s school; known as today’s Branson Hall. On an auspicious summer day in 1915, the property was converted into a residential hotel. Becoming the mainstay for a variety of colorful patrons to this day, visitors range from well-known dignitaries and politicians to the world famous novelist and Pulitzer Prize winner, Ernest Hemingway. Ernest and his wife Hadley stayed at The Clarion (in fact, they have 2 rooms in their honor) when he was working as a foreign correspondent in the 1920's for the legendary Toronto newspaper, The Toronto Star. The Clarion Hotel & Suites Selby is unique in its appeal. The Gooderham's had envisioned a hotel as rich in character and tone as it was in design; and the current owners continue to hold that hallmark. Today, The Clarion carries on the time-honored tradition of combining the classical outlay of the original concept with the contemporary feel of Canadian culture. Featuring 82 newly completed renovated guest rooms and a spacious meeting space, The Clarion is equipped to accommodate all of your needs.
