All Hotels Week long, we're showcasing the best (and the worst) of Toronto hotels. Whether you're visiting our great city or coming downtown for a weekend staycation, here are some things to do in the trendy West Queen West neighbourhood.
In the Queen West 'hood, The Drake and Gladstone Hotels are a great option for a boutique but non-traditional accommodation. These small artsy hotels offer nightly music and entertainment and some wild art-designed suites. The neighbourhood itself is trendy and fun, filled with non-stop nightlife, shopping and art galleries (see the galleries before new condo developments destroy them). There's no subway but a 24-hour streetcar can easily transport you to another neighbourhood like the Entertainment District, where other larger hotels are available. Here's a map to get your Queen West staycation started.
