I have to admit I'm only just getting around to writing a review for my stay at the Drake, which was actually last year, so it may have changed since then. We had a good stay - nice design, nice rooms, fantastic location and good bar downstairs. I liked the bathroom and the Aveda products. I was getting over jetlag... more

I checked into The Drake for a single night, on my own on the way through Toronto after the friend I was supposed to be staying with turned out to be in China. And it was a pretty good result... The hotel is very, very cool. Small (only 19 rooms) and trendy (think mismatched vintage furniture) but excellent service, friendly... more

I was despondent to leave the hip, quirky environs of The Drake. I loved everything about this place -- the location in a funky arts district, the original art in every room, the small size (19 rooms, I think), the fact that a wonderful coffee shop/resto is on the ground floor and an open-air bar/resto is on level 2, but... more

Nice staff, comfortable room. The bath is open to the room, so if you are traveling with someone you should be comfortable using toilet/showering/etc in front of them (ie, OK with partner, but not necessarily your daughter). Great room service meal from the restaurant. Only complaint is the noise from the club. This is more of a hipster/after-hours scene than... more

Delectable lunch at the Bistro served by the charming employee. Eugenio not only suggested a good meal that he also offered to help us find the best restaurant in town, and ...he did. Highly recommended. more

The rooms of this hotel are stylishly cosy and well appointed with unique frills (think handmade doll and "pleasure options" for the lovers holiday. But it's not just the room that makes this hotel the best place in town for the weekend. It's the staff: knowledgeable, friendly, and constantly seeking the best way to make your stay in Toronto the... more

Rooms are efficiently compact, full of electronic toys and creatively decorated. A pillow menu would add to the comfort of the bed. Depending on the location of the room, earplugs may be necessary. Lots of nightlife in the Hotel and the neighbourhood. Meals in the Hotel were excellent. The staff is exceptional; their enthusiasm makes the stay at the Drake... more

It was our second time at the Drake. We visited there in October of 2008. In spite of the length of time since our last visit, we were greeted like old friends. Jonathan and Zoe at the front desk are in a word, delightful. We arrived in late morning and were able to check in within an hour. In the... more

The best way to begin this review is to tell the story of how my fiancé and I fell in love with the Drake Hotel, but for those of you who are pressed for time I will summarize our impressions first. The Drake is an intimate, classy, elegant and gorgeous place. The rooms are cozy, impeccably clean, comfortable, and absolutely... more
