This rich in history and charm hotel with expansive front lobby, sweeping staircase, and impeccably clean has been a favourite of mine over the years. This is my 3rd visit, and the location just off Yonge Street on King makes it ideal for walking to metro subway 2 minute walk, the main train station, the Hockey Hall of Fame, Rogers Center, Air Canada Center, numerous restaurants and sights, the Eaton Center for shopping.
The hotel was just bought out by Skyline, so hopefully they maintain tradition and complete renovations to the rooms.
What people might not realize is this hotel hosted the Beatles back in 1964 and 1965 on their first trip to North America and only performances in Toronto. Also later it hosted John Lennon and Yoko Ono for a week, before their famous sleepin in Montreal where he wrote Give Peace a Chance. I believe the suite has a plaque on the outside of the door.
The hotel has very friendly helpful staff, provides free newspaper and freshly brewed coffee in the lobby. The parking is expensive as is Internet and local calls all pet peeves of mine. Fitness room, but no pool.
I would highly recommend this majestic hotel.

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights for business and could not be more complimentary. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the location was perfect for access to the hospitals and city centre. The rooms were spacious and the bed very comfortable. i cannot recommend this hotel more highly.

We checked out and moved to the King Edward hotel and received a warm welcome and were looked after by exceptional staff
The hotel is extremly clean and well apointed and my room was spacious and beutifully decorated
The highlight though are the staff who were so helpfull and friendly nothing was too much trouble
i will be back on business and will only stay here

The King Edward provides a convenient location in downtown Toronto. The lobby provides free internet, coffee and both American and Canadian newspapers for patrons. Rooms are a bit small, but well appointed and clean. Lack of electric plugs, other than inconveniently located under the desk was a minus. Upper floors are well insulated from street noise. Reasonable value.
