Pre-pandemic, the property regularly hosted 86’ed Mondays, a monthly industry night founded by hospitality legend Ivy Knight that brought together local chefs for friendly, themed cooking competitions that the public could attend. While events are off the table for the moment, the hotel’s rooftop dining area (named one of the best in the world by Condé Nast Traveler) is still worth a visit to try one of the city’s top burgers and sip on a spritz while taking in the skyline views."

Each of the unique, character-rich rooms features eye-popping art, custom furniture and woodwork, Malin+Goetz toiletries, comfy queen-sized Sealy mattresses, and unexpected creative miscellaneous touches throughout. The “Art Passport” package includes mini bottles of sparkling, a $50 credit to enjoy The Drake’s upscale reimagined cuisine, an original Art-For-You artwork keepsake, and late checkout."

"Close to one of my favourite cafes in Toronto, behind the flurry of activity on Yonge Street, you’ll find a drab building. Within it hides an enchanted greenhouse with lush tropical plants and even a five-story waterfall. It may be small but it’s a lovely little pop of greenery in Toronto."
