The Drake Hotel

The atmosphere is really amazing and it is a great place for date night or brunch. Menu changes throughout the day so there’s a lot of variety. Went for happy hour and dinner menu. Steak tartare was $5 on the happy hour menu, great value and delicious. Lychee margarita was amazing if you like fruity and sweet drink! Presentation of the sushi is amazing. Everything came quickly and service was very friendly. Bonus: there’s an old school photobooth past the lobby!!

Had an incredible experience at The Drake Hotel. The atmosphere is vibrant, artistic, and full of character, making it much more than just a place to stay—it feels like a cultural experience in itself. The rooms are stylish, clean, and comfortable, with a unique boutique design that stands out. The staff were welcoming, professional, and always ready to help, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The food and drinks were excellent, and the overall vibe of the hotel—especially the lounge and common areas—was lively and creative. It’s a perfect spot for travelers who want both comfort and a trendy social atmosphere in the heart of Toronto. Overall, a fantastic stay. I would definitely recommend The Drake Hotel and look forward to visiting again.

Steak night @ The Drake on Mondays for $35. Great value for steak frites + a slice of cheesecake. Happy hour menu was also good with lots of affordable food & drink options. French fries weren't super to my liking, cut a little thick (I prefer more of a true, skinny fry) seasoned with something sweet? Almost cinnamon like? Steak was room temp and a little overcooked, medium instead of medium rare, but flavour was fine. Could have used some salt, which was absent from the table. Cherry cheesecake though was delish. Added a side caesar for $10 which was a good size & tasty. Atmosphere - gorgeous, they've done a great job renovating. I would think about returning for happy hour but can't necessarily say I would recommend steak night to others.

i have to say, the $35 steak dinner is a deal that you CAN’T pass up on. our server was incredible, so friendly and personable - he has a beard and glasses - so good at his job. the steak was perfectly cooked, the fries were delicious, and the cheesecake to finish was the perfect ending to a great dinner. we also decided to hop on the half priced wine bottle special and the recommendation was perfectly paired with our food. atmosphere was amazing, decor was so cute, and the overall experience was everything i hoped for. i will be back!

Noisiest room since Thailand in my 20s - won't stay here again We had a one-night stopover en route from Vancouver to the UK. Hoping for a good night of sleep before the overnight flight to the UK in cramped airplane seats. We reserved a regular room. At check-in they told us we'd been 'upgraded' to a 'studio' room. Great! They didn't bother to mention that the new room was directly over the entrance to the Drake Underground dance club, on a Friday night. As a result, every time anyone came in or out of the main floor entrance directly under our room, we heard the door bang shut (it actually bangs three or four times each time someone goes in or out). And the place was bumpin'. Music pulsed and exuberant (loud) partyers came and went up 'til closing at 2 a.m., when all the club-goers poured out onto the sidewalk directly below our window. Let's just say some folks in the crowd were still feeling energetic. I'm glad they were having a nice time. For us, it sucked hard, and no one at the hotel had felt it was important to warn us of this. Sleep was not a realistic possibility. Otherwise the place was cute, interesting decor, appealing from an aesthetic perspective, etc. All positive qualities were far outweighed by the terrible night of sleep, which kind of is the whole point of a hotel room: a place to sleep. For me at least.
