What reviewers say

Visitors frequently praise The Drake Hotel for its fun, un-stuffy boutique atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, and excellent entertainment like drag shows and brunch. However, some guests found the TV setup inconvenient, expecting Smart TVs with built-in streaming apps rather than requiring phone casting.

About this place The Drake Hotel

The Drake, at 1150 Queen Street West, is a boutique hotel in the midst of Toronto's West Queen West strip, where galleries, bars, and shops converge. It's a mainstream spot that's also gay-friendly, though not exclusively a gay hotel. The hotel's public spaces are just as notable as its rooms: you'll find a restaurant, a rooftop patio, and the Drake Underground, a basement venue that hosts gigs and club nights. Local art adorns the walls throughout the hotel. Rooms are compact, with a focus on design - though if you're a light sleeper, you'll want to request a quieter one, as those facing Queen Street can get loud on weekend nights. The Church-Wellesley Village is just a streetcar ride east on the 501 Queen line.

Had such a great experience at The Drake Hotel! We came in for their monday fix menu and it honestly might be one of the best monday deals in Toronto. For $38, the menu includes an 8oz bavette steak with whiskey peppercorn sauce, hand-cut fries, and a dessert, with the option to add sharing sides for just $10. The atmosphere was amazing, with great music, good vibes, and the perfect setting for a Monday night out. The standout for me was definitely the mac & cheese. I've tried a lot of mac & cheese around Toronto, and this one is easily at the top of my list. If you're a mac & cheese fan, it's a must-order.
