Unique boutique hotel renews itself in the midst of Parkdale's gentrification propelled by its competitor The Drake just steps away. Restorations completed in 2002 offer a interspersed mix of old vs. New for interior design junkies, musicians and the artistically inclined traveller. Artist designed rooms and exhibits displayed in the halls refresh old details within such as one of the last hand operated elevators and preserved woodwork. An art bar, café, spa and infamous karaoke in the Melody bar constantly keep this hotel young at heart.
