"What a great little hotel, conveniently and centrally located. The room was small but very clean, with excellent amenities such as fridge, desk, and Roku-equipped TV. The surrounding area is a little bit rough; at least once each evening, one would hear the automatic loudspeaker warning to somebody outside the premises, advising them to identify themselves. This was a bit startling the first time (only because I didn't expect it). But that's part and parcel of being a big city downtown...

What is a historic hotel like in Toronto?
Historic hotels give guests the opportunity to stay in a place that’s been officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — any place of special interest. These types of hotels in Toronto typically retain original qualities like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. “Historic hotel” is more commonly used in the U.S., while you’ll often hear “heritage hotel” in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the physical building and architecture. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the place’s cultural value and how it inspired the surrounding community.
Do historic hotels in Toronto have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, while interiors have safety features and modern conveniences. Tourists who book a stay can expect the amenities from a contemporary hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. Booking a historic hotel in Toronto doesn’t mean you’re choosing a place that’s uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
