Ace Hotel Toronto

Ace is our pick for travellers who want the hotel to feel connected to the streets around it. The Shim-Sutcliffe building, beside St. Andrew’s Playground, gives the stay a strong sense of place. Queen West, Spadina Avenue and King West are all part of the surrounding walk.

Rooms, facilities and the reason to book

Inside, the suspended Lobby bar is a big part of the appeal. Alder gives you a restaurant downstairs, while Evangeline brings drinks and skyline views upstairs. It is an easy choice for a weekend where meals and evenings out matter more than formal hotel ceremony.

Choose the room category with care. Ace’s official room list ranges from Cozy rooms with a queen bed to Large rooms with a king bed and 355 square feet. A suite photo does not tell you what the smallest room will feel like with two open suitcases.

There is a useful difference for drivers: the hotel’s FAQ says parking is self-parking at nearby off-site partner lots, with no valet service. It also says dogs stay free and describes an amenity fee without giving its amount in the FAQ. Confirm that fee and the parking arrangements before paying.

Getting there: Plan around the Queen and Spadina surface-transit corridors, or walk west from the University Avenue subway. Check current TTC diversions rather than relying on an old streetcar itinerary.

Our call: Book Ace for its architecture, restaurants and neighbourhood. Compare the exact room size before calling a cheaper rate a bargain.

Compare the full booking total, not just the first nightly rate. Room category, cancellation rules, breakfast, parking and paid treatments can change the value of a stay. Ask the hotel directly about any access feature that is essential for you, including the route to the room and the exact bathroom layout.
