Toronto’s Drake Hotel Ages Like Fine Culture

The Drake Hotel is an old veteran of the downtown streets of Toronto, having seen its fair share of transition since its early days as D.A. Small’s Hotel in the heyday of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Through many transitions and owners, the sturdy structure has become more than a convenient place for lodging, good food, and entertainment. It is now a cultural icon, re-born in February 2004 after a significant face-lift established its current level of prestige as a boutique hotel in Toronto’s West Queen West neighborhood, a nerve center for Canadian artists.

Here you’ll find a range of gathering places appealing to all the senses. There is fine or casual dining, including the talents of Executive Chef Anthony Rose and a full-service menu that serves three meals daily, a weekend brunch, cocktails, and spirits. There are places to mingle, including a raw bar, rooftop lounge, café and bistro, and underground venue with a nightly lineup of concerts and events.

Most importantly, there are 19 unique rooms to lay your weary head after such a blizzard of activity. 10-foot ceilings, queen-size beds, and quaint furnishings will help you remember just how unique the Drake has become. See The Drake Hotel here.
