Drake Hotel in Toronto is a cultural resort of fine food, art,
music and hospitality. Explore seven creatively designed venues; each
offers unique diversions and amenities.Enjoy cocktails, conversation and live music in the Lounge over a tasty 'seven-hour' martini, or, just shucked oysters from their Raw Bar; Savor an exclusive dinner and post supper film screening with your entourage in the Drake's private dining room, Room 222, or, be captivated by an intimate tete-a-tete in the elegant Dining Room; Catch an up-and-coming indie act in the Underground followed by a nightcap under the stars on the year round rooftop patio, the Sky Yard; and then, wake up refreshed in this high design Hotel and enjoy a healthy breakfast in the sunny Café. Drake culture, outstanding hospitality, award winning design and exceptional culinary adventures all tastefully intersect in this unique and provocative setting to provide you a ‘one of a kind’ Drake experience.  The Drake opened in 1890 as D. A. Small’s Hotel. At the time, the area was a major Canadian Pacific Railway hub that linked Downtown with the lakeside summer homes of Toronto’s western beaches. For the next half century, the Hotel transitioned through several owners and names including Hotel Cecil and the Stardust. In 1949, Michael Lundy purchased the property, renamed it the Drake, expanded the building and created many of the improvements visible today, including the grand staircase in the lobby and the addition of a Lounge and restaurant. The current owner purchased the property in late 2001 and undertook the extensive renovations that gave the hotel its current form. The Drake re-opened its doors in February of 2004 and has since gone on to proudly redefine the Toronto boutique hotel experience.  The
goal was for The Drake to provide those that walked through its doors
with a unique, storied experience. At the same time, the Drake would be
grounded in providing its guests with world class service and attention
in an environment that paid homage to exceptional and timeless design.In 2007, designers were yet again commissioned to re-imagine the Drake’s Lounge and Dining Room back to its 1940s golden age roots. The new look embraces the elegance, decadence and dignity of a special moment in time with leather booths, rich velvet banquettes, marble and brass fixtures, custom designed chandeliers and commissioned murals. Come and explore all of Drake and be sure to bring along a healthy appetite for experimentation and wonder. |
