Midmark announces ‘historic revival’ rebrand of former Inn at Versailles
Introducing Hotel Versailles, Silas — a new restaurant and the 1819 Room for events
VERSAILLES, Ohio, Dec. 14, 2020 — Midmark Corp., a leading clinical
environmental design company providing medical, dental and veterinary
solutions that enable a better experience at the point of care, today
announced its rebrand of the former Inn at Versailles with plans for a
new sophisticated boutique hotel, restaurant and event space at the
corner of Center and Main Streets in downtown Versailles. The new hotel
will be named Hotel Versailles (pronounced Ver-sales), the restaurant
will be called Silas and a new event space named 1819 Room. The new
facilities are scheduled to open in the spring of 2022 to support
Midmark’s business and regional patrons.
Referenced as “historic revival” by Midmark’s design team, the new
facilities will capture elements of the historic architecture that make
up downtown Versailles, while also bringing the site into the future.
Together with Dave Kerr Architects and Kimberly O. Designs, the team
chose to bring forward the best elements of the hotel’s past and
introduce some new offerings for the next generation of experience
seekers.
The former inn was an integral part of the Midmark customer experience.
Hotel Versailles will play that part in the future with amenities its
customers expect from a clinical environmental design company. “We are
extremely excited to move into the next phase of construction with
these new, modern facilities,” stated Monique McGlinch, vice president,
customer engagement and corporate agile center of excellence. “While
the hotel will accommodate our Midmark customers, we believe it will
also invigorate the economic vitality for the community for centuries
to come.”
The boutique hotel will offer 30 rooms, including six suites, enhanced
amenities, a fitness room, and new courtyard and patio. As Darke County
has a strong musical arts culture, there are plans for frequent live
entertainment in the bar and lounge area of the restaurant which will
be the centerpiece of the hotel.
As the inn was a historical landmark to the village, Midmark wanted its
brand choices to pay homage to the history of Versailles. The new
restaurant, named Silas, was derived from Silas Atchison, the founder
of Versailles (formerly Jacksonville) just over 200 years ago. The
pioneer also became one of the first inn keepers in the area, which
presented the perfect choice for the name of the new restaurant.
Chef Josh Hill, the chef for Silas, has been with the Midmark
hospitality team since 2004 and apprenticed under Chef Michael
Delligatta for 16 years until his retirement in July 2020. Hill is
finishing his education at the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary
Arts. The Silas menu will include a creative and eclectic mix of
cuisines, wines and cocktails, inspired from across the world. The
Silas culinary team is promising to continue The Inn’s legacy of
quality and locally sourced ingredients—delivering the freshest dishes
in unexpected ways.
The restaurant will feature an array of indoor, outdoor, lounge and
private dining seating. Outdoor seating includes a covered patio for
parties of 24 or less, as well as an open courtyard that mirrors the
historic town square that will seat approximately 50. All spaces can be
reserved for private parties upon request.
Also new will be an event space open to the public named 1819 Room,
honoring the year Silas Atchison founded Versailles, and will be
catered exclusively by the Silas restaurant. The 1819 Room was designed
to accommodate up to 120 guests. The space will be equipped with its
own bar, audio-visual technologies, private bathrooms, a coat room and
a mother’s room, ideal for corporate meetings, family gatherings and
more.
