Check out that crown moulding!
Checking out the hotel’s latest exhibit.
The room was like sleeping over at your best friend’s and her room was covered in Teen Beat posters.
Pictures don't do justice to how delicious this brunch was!
The perfect spot to enjoy a few afternoon cocktails.
Loving this retro bomber on display as part of the exhibit.
Cozy spot to enjoy your morning coffee.
Highs & Lows
-
Each room is unique and designed by a different artist.
-
Guests have three floors of art gallery space to check out, featuring the work of some of the city’s most exciting emerging and established artists.
-
Very hip design!
-
Since the hotel is quite literally in the middle of the action, the noise from outside and music from the bar can be really loud at night. However, the hotel does give out free ear plugs.
-
We were craving a bid of a midnight snack and unfortunately, there’s no room service.

Artist, activist and filmmaker Christina Zeidler and her father Eb Zeidler restored the building to its original Victorian architecture in 2005. However, a different artist has designed each hotel room, so it really depends what room you get!

There isn't a gym physically in the building, but guests can request a gym voucher from the front desk and take a quick walk down to 99 Sudbury, which is one of Toronto's premiere boutique gyms.

Restaurant
Yes, great brunch spot!
-
Bar
Yes, the Melody Bar. There was a wedding on while I was visiting, so I unfortunately couldn’t check the bar out.
-
Minibar
There wasn’t an actual fridge-style mini bar, but there was a basket of goodies in the room with snacks, water and wine.

Children
I mean you could, but parents would definitely have more fun on their own.

Fairly average in price.
