Holiday Inn Toronto Airport East By IHG

A Comfortable Launchpad for Concert Nights Near the Airport

Modern and convenient, the Holiday Inn Toronto Airport East By IHG offers a relaxed stay just off Highway 401. With a free 10-minute shuttle to Toronto Pearson International Airport, it's a hassle-free base for travelers flying in for a big show. Stylish rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, an indoor pool, and an on-site Perkins Family Restaurant create a laid-back but well-equipped vibe, perfect for recharging before or after a concert.

Why Concert-goers love it

One of the biggest perks here is the proximity to major venues like the Toronto Congress Centre (just over a quarter mile away) and The International Centre (around 5.5 miles). The hotel’s free shuttle from the airport makes late-night arrivals easy, and with check-out at 12:00 PM, you’ll have time to sleep in after a long night. Rooms are quiet despite the location, and strong Wi-Fi means you can stream music or share concert clips with ease.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a convenient meetup spot near the airport and venues
• Solo travelers flying in to see a favorite artist
• Couples making a weekend of it with comfort and quiet
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space with modern comforts
• Budget-conscious music fans who value convenience and amenities

Food and Drink Options

Perkins Family Restaurant is located on-site, offering American-style dining for dine-in, take-out, or room service — perfect for a post-show bite. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the restaurant is open late, and a quick walk or drive gives you access to other local eateries. Breakfast is available to help you recover after a night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar scene, its easy access to downtown Toronto (less than 16 miles away) puts you within reach of the city’s vibrant nightlife. Nearby lounges and bars make for good pre- or post-show stops without the downtown price tag.
