The Spotlight on Radisson Blu Toronto Downtown

Stylish Harbourfront Stay Steps from Toronto's Top Stages

Modern, scenic, and set right on the waterfront, Radisson Blu Toronto Downtown blends urban energy with lakeside calm. With stunning views of Lake Ontario and the city skyline, this downtown hotel is a relaxed yet upscale base just a short walk from Toronto’s biggest attractions and music venues. Expect sleek rooms with workspaces, a rooftop pool (seasonal), and dining that celebrates Canadian cuisine.

Why Concert-goers love it

This location is a dream for music fans. Within walking distance of Union Station, the CN Tower, and multiple concert venues, you can skip the late-night Uber and stroll back to your room. The area stays lively late, but inside the hotel, it's surprisingly quiet – ideal after a loud night out. With check-in from 3:00 PM and a generous 12:00 PM checkout, there’s time to sleep off the encore. The rooftop pool and patio add a resort feel, perfect for a post-show wind-down.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, central base
  • Solo travelers ticking off a dream concert
  • Couples planning a weekend of music and lake views
  • Fans who want a peaceful spot to recharge
  • Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value with comfort

Food and Drink Options

Concerts run late, and this hotel gets it. Café Locale in the lobby serves light bites, local beer and wine, and is a cozy place to relax any time. For mornings after, The View Restaurant on the fifth floor offers breakfast with sweeping lake views – a scenic way to refuel. The on-site Watermark Restaurant specializes in Canadian dishes made with local ingredients, perfect for a pre-show dinner. While 24/7 room service isn't listed, food options are available into the evening, and the location is surrounded by walkable dining spots.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no live music in-house, you’re a short walk from bars, lounges, and live music venues near the waterfront and in the Entertainment District. Prefer something low-key? The lobby’s Café Locale is great for sipping a local craft beer before heading out or winding down after the show.

What People Say

Guests rave about the location, calling it “perfect for exploring Toronto on foot.” Many highlight the lake views and the rooftop pool as standout features. Reviewers also mention the friendly staff and cleanliness of rooms. Fans of concerts and sports love how close it is to Scotiabank Arena and Rogers Centre.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the seasonal rooftop pool is only open in warmer months – so don’t bank on a swim in winter. Parking can be a bit pricey, and due to its popularity, the elevators and lobby can get busy during peak check-in times. But these are minor trade-offs for the location and views.

The Bottom Line

If you want a stylish, walkable stay near Toronto’s top venues with lake views and a rooftop vibe, Radisson Blu Toronto Downtown hits the sweet spot for concert-goers.

Emy, Rochester

The hotel was clean and the rooms were nice. The bed was comfortable. We were pleased. The only thing I will recommend is to have a better signs for the hotel. We circled 3 times in the area and had to call the hotel for directions to actually find the entrance. The sign is not visible from all directions. Please correct that issue.

Passable

Liked: Locations only
Disliked: This hotel is old, needs update, the bed makes so much noise if you turn on side, we couldn't sleep as the noise through springs in the bed makes loud noise.at least about one of the queen bed in our room. Management couldn't offer extension to our stay as the hotel seems to be very busy.

Great rooftop pool but room...

Liked: The rooftop, heated pool was why we booked at the Radisson. They only had 1 waiter the majority of the evening on the rooftop when there were roughly 50 people, so service was slow for dinner and drinks. We had a great time enjoying the pool with ample lounge chairs and a perfectly heated pool.
Disliked: The room is inadequate for the price tag. We got a two-queen room. The fridge did not have a freezer unit, and the front desk said a freezer was not available for guests within the hotel. They said they would call back after looking into it and never did. The room is large enough for night stands on all sides of the bed but there was only 1 in the middle and no plug ins on the outside edges. They also have water stations to refill on every floor, but the carafe is quite small, and ice is only available on every other floor. It was inconvenient to have to navigate that for a glass of ice water.

Not good value for money.

Liked: The views were gorgeous, nice comfortable bed.
Disliked: They have alchemist bottles attached to the shower, shampoo empty, body wash empty, some conditioner. Told they will bring carafe of drinking water never saw it. Coffee pod machine takes ages for it to fill your cup. Line up to check in took ages, then they wanted a credit card for security, we only had debit cards

A 3 night stay at...

Liked: Room was clean, comfy & spacious. Location was ideal. Views from pool area were spectacular.
Disliked: Reception area was disappointing. Signage for hotel not clearly visible. Entrance not clean. Corridors were outdated, not the usual standard I would expect from a Radisson Blu Hotel. Hotel & location information not easily accessible. Wardrobe in bedroom insufficient size.
