Gladstone Hotel
What We Love
- On-site galleries feature monthly exhibits and events, so the hotel is a happening spot, giving guests an insider’s edge and a sense of community you won’t get at a chain
- Every guestroom is designed by one of Toronto’s most talented artists
- The provided “I want Joe” doorknocker ensures a fresh-brewed cup at your door when you wake
- Dining options include Gladstone Café and Melody Bar, which have separate menus, hours and distinct vibes
- Choice location on Queen Street near Ossington Avenue, on which there are bars, restaurants, galleries and great shopping
- Karaoke in the Melody Bar every Friday and Saturday night is legendary
- Pharmacopia apothecary-style natural bath products in every room

What To Know
- No fitness area or swimming pool on-site, but the nearby 99 Sudbury Gym offers Gladstone guests free passes
- Like many up-and-coming neighborhoods, this one is still somewhat gritty; the hotel, however, is spotless
- The hotel isn’t techy: free WiFi, yes, massive flat-screen TVs, no (although there are small TVs).
- Guestrooms are small, with the exception of the two suites; basic rooms fit a bed, a small desk and a bathroom with shower — and lots of art
- The hotel was renovated in 2004-2005

We can’t speak highly enough of our experience with the Gladstone Hotel! Seriously. The staff went out of their way to make it a stress-free day! Honestly, people couldn’t believe how relaxed I (the bride) was!
Working with Erin was a dream! She’s very communicative and attentive. Daniel was so cool on the day and a quick thinker! I forgot the name place cards and he was a freaking champ, didn’t even phase him.
And our room!!! The tower suite was exquisite! The staff also went out of their way to leave us little notes to welcome us, some champagne to celebrate and a beautiful photo to remember the venue by. Which I’m happy to report, now lives on our living room wall :)
Our guests are still raving about the food and the atmosphere!! Thank you all so much, Erin, Dan and the entire team who helped make our special day beyond what we could have imagined!!!
Book this place for you wedding! You won’t regret it!
