Hotel Ocho

Stylish Industrial Charm in the Heart of Toronto

Modern, artistic, and full of character, Hotel Ocho is set in a restored 1902 factory building just minutes from Toronto’s buzzing live music scene. Located on Spadina Avenue, this boutique hotel puts you within walking distance of Kensington Market, Chinatown, and some of the city's most iconic venues. The interiors blend exposed-brick charm with sleek, minimalist design—ideal for travelers who love a little edge with their comfort.

Each room features free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and modern-industrial furnishings with curated artwork, giving your stay a stylish, urban vibe.

Why Concert-goers love it

Hotel Ocho is perfectly placed for catching a show—just a short stroll from several top music venues and a quick ride to many more. Its central location means you can walk home from a gig or find late-night eats easily. While the area is lively, the hotel’s interiors remain peaceful, offering a quiet place to crash after a night out. Check-in starts at 4 PM, giving you time to settle in before heading to the show, and check-out at 11 AM gives you a breather the next morning.

Areas for Improvement
