    What is The Drake Hotel?

    Housed in a building with roots going back to 1890, the hotel has evolved over time, with its current incarnation opening in 2004 following extensive renovation. The Drake was reimagined as a Toronto version of the Chelsea Hotel, a space for creatives to live, work and gather. The hotel’s artful, stylish aesthetic mirrors the vibrancy of the Queen Street West neighborhood. The addition of a basement nightclub and live entertainment venue, the Underground, has transformed the Drake into a lively cultural hub.
