Places to Stay in Toronto




Unfortunately, Toronto's own castle, Casa Loma is unavailable for hotel stays, so we'd like to recommend the following accommodation suggestions that are not only convenient for getting to the wedding venue, but also good choices for transit accessibility and over all comfort.





Holiday Inn Midtown

Located at the north end of the University of Toronto campus and next to St. George Station, the Holiday Inn Midtown is a great home-base for neighbourhood walks, getting around via transit and near-by Bloor Street shopping.

Marriott Bloor Yorkville

Located just east of the intersection of Bloor and Yonge Streets, the Marriott is well connected to transit, close to great shopping and just a short walk from restaurants and boutiques in tony Yorkville.

Courtyard Marriott Toronto Downtown

Situated at College and Yonge streets, the Courtyard Marriott Downtown is a bit closer to the downtown action. A short walk from Yonge and Dundas Square (think Times Square but smaller), the Courtyard is located on the subway line as well as the College streetcar line which can connect you east to the cute and quaint Cabbagetown and west to Little Italy.

Geoffrey made this handy map that shows all the hotels listed above and some other points of interest.
N.B. You may notice from your own searches that we have not included some hotels that are closer to the wedding venue. We have suggested the places above based on their all-around ability to provide our guests with a place that is not only close the venue but also well positioned for transit access, sight seeing and neighbourhood-walking trips. We encourage you to explore the city!

If you have any questions about places to stay or any other visit details, please don’t hesitate to contact us at geoffreyandleigh@gmail.com

All for now!

We hold these truths to be self-evident: the location of the wedding and the reception!


The Berkeley Church Field House
, 315 Queen Street East, Toronto, Ontario M5A 1S7

See a map here

The Field House is accessible by the famous 501 street car route (see the ttc website here for route map) by personal automobile, there is plenty of street and lot parking, or by foot.


Exact timing of the ceremony is TBD, but for your trip planning needs, I thought you all might like to have the address.
