Getting there
Allow half an hour each way to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), 19 km (12 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
At 5.4 km (3.4 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
Toronto has 254 venues mapped in total and a population of 2,794,356. The Toronto guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
Think of it as one room in a bigger plan: a training day, a members' evening, a committee that needs to be in the same place. It is 139th of 254 venues mapped in Toronto.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
