The Gladstone Hotel, Toronto's oldest operating gem, is a funky Victorian retreat bursting with artist-designed rooms, art exhibits, and nightlife.
"The historic Gladstone House is Toronto’s longest continuously-operating hotel that provides a bold, color-filled escape from the moment guests enter its vibrant lobby with neon uplighting, brightly-hued upholstery, and incredible art. There's a strong focus on culture and creativity with 41 artist-designed rooms complemented by exposed brick, glass-enclosed showers, and light hardwood floors, as well as a comprehensive art program with permanent and temporary installations featuring local and regional artists, and a lively lobby bistro and bar." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"The Gladstone Hotel is Toronto's oldest continually operating hotel and it's unlike any hotel you've stayed in before. The Gladstone is equal parts hotel, hub, and gallery, fitting in seamlessly with Queen West's vibrant and artistic community. Come take in an art installation on urban planning and design, stay for a drink in the Melody Bar, spend the night in one of the artist-designed rooms, or check out one of the many events and workshops they host including Adult Colouring night, Life Drawing classes, or Music Bingo." - Kindred Studio
"This gorgeous red brick Victorian hotel had its heyday during the era of the trans-Canada railway, and while it fell into disuse for a while, the rebirth of Queen Street West means this site is suddenly in great demand. Fortunately it fell into the hands of owners with a firm grasp on what this neighborhood’s about — the renovated Gladstone is an artists’ hotel par excellence." - MICHELIN Guide
