Character and identity

Set in the thick of Queen Street West, The Drake has functioned as Toronto's art-design-food clubhouse since 2004, when it opened inside a converted apartment building. The original wing keeps the bones honest: granite floors, exposed brick, green leather banquettes, rotating contemporary art, and murals throughout. A 2021 Modern Wing extension (award-winning, street-facing lobby bar attached) took room count from 19 to 51. Three food and drink venues run from morning chia bowls to late-night burgers, and Drake Underground hosts live music. There is no spa or gym on site. Service runs friendly and quick.

Who's it for

Best for:
Design-literate solo travellers and couples who want to be plugged into the city's creative scene, eat well at any hour, and stumble downstairs to a gig or DJ set. The art programming, residencies, and rotating events calendar reward curious guests who treat the hotel as a venue, not just a bed.

Should look elsewhere:
Families, wellness seekers, and anyone wanting a quiet retreat. There is no spa, no in-house gym (a neighbourhood gym is comped), and the building's nightlife energy and Queen West buzz mean this is not a place to decompress in silence.

Bottom line

What you're booking is a creative scene with rooms attached: art, music, and three genuinely good restaurants stacked into one Queen West address. Worth it if you want to be inside Toronto's cultural pulse rather than observing it from a tower lobby. Couples should look at an XL Suite in the original wing for the most personality, or the Rooftop Terrace Suite if outdoor space matters.
