The Drake is less a hotel than a Toronto cultural institution — Queen West's art hotel, live music venue, and gathering point for the city's creative community since 2004. 19 individually designed rooms, the Drake Sky Yard rooftop, and the restaurant/bar that defines the neighborhood's vibe. Not for everyone, but the most Toronto experience you can book.
Why We Chose It
Less a hotel than a Toronto cultural institution — Queen West's art hotel, live music venue, and gathering place. The rooms are secondary to the programming, the energy, and the neighborhood.
What Stands Out
- 19 individually designed rooms — no two alike
- Drake Sky Yard: rooftop patio, best neighborhood views
- Live music and arts programming throughout the year
- Queen West location: Kensington Market, Trinity Bellwoods, Graffiti Alley walking distance
- Toronto cultural institution since 2004 — not a hotel, a scene
