Gladstone House

In West Queen West — Toronto’s creative pulse — this boutique hotel sits steps from Trinity Bellwoods Park and a short ride from the Art Gallery of Ontario, Rogers Centre and the CN Tower. Perfect for culture-seekers and families, it puts city sights, Queen Street West shops and the lake within easy reach.

Housed in a reimagined historic building, the hotel keeps exposed brick, curated local art and dynamic lighting that shifts through the day. Rooms are individually styled with pillowtop beds dressed in Frette Italian sheets and down comforters, flat-screen TVs (and some DVD players), private bathrooms with rainfall showerheads and designer toiletries. Expect in-room safes, desks and both wired and wireless internet to keep you connected.

There’s a 24-hour fitness center, concierge services, complimentary wireless internet and a 24-hour front desk. The property also offers a ballroom and wedding services, a karaoke spot and playrooms for kids — family-friendly touches across the house. Onsite essentials include an ATM, gift shop/newsstand and self-parking (fees apply).

Multiple meeting rooms and conference facilities total about 2,108 sq ft (196 m²) of event space, and the hotel provides complimentary high-speed wired internet and luggage storage for business travelers.

Gladstone Bistro & Bar serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch; cooked-to-order breakfasts are available (weekdays 8:00–11:00, weekends 8:00–13:00) for a fee. There’s also a coffee shop/café, a bar/lounge and limited-hour room service when you want to stay in.
