Gladstone House

Creative Comfort Steps from Toronto's Live Music Scene

Set in a beautifully restored Victorian building, Gladstone House blends art, history, and modern energy in the heart of Toronto’s Queen West neighbourhood. With only 55 artist-designed rooms, no two stays are the same, offering a boutique experience that’s as unique as the city itself. You’ll be right in the middle of Toronto’s cultural core, surrounded by galleries, shops, and venues—all with a creative, lively flair.

Why Concert-goers love it

Gladstone House is a short ride or walk to many of Toronto’s top music venues, making it a great base for catching shows without the late-night commute. Fridays and Saturdays turn up the fun with karaoke nights in the Melody Bar, so you don’t have to go far for post-concert vibes. Rooms are cozy but well-insulated, offering a quiet retreat after the show. With a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, the schedule works well for those burning the midnight oil.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for fun, artsy energy
- Solo travelers catching a dream concert and wanting to explore local culture
- Couples who want a romantic, design-forward weekend
- Fans seeking a quieter recovery space after loud nights
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a memorable, stylish stay

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s own Gladstone House Bistro & Bar offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily—with dishes that hit the right note after a show. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the free morning coffee is a welcome perk after a late night. The neighborhood is packed with walkable eateries open late, perfect for a post-concert bite.

Nightlife Options

Don’t miss the on-site Melody Bar, especially on Friday and Saturday nights when it turns into a karaoke hotspot. If you’re looking to keep the night going, you’re a short stroll from Queen West’s bars, lounges, and live music venues. It’s ideal for those who want to keep the party alive—or just sip something local and chill.
