Toronto is a big city with artistic soul and finding a hotel that understands that status makes for an authentic stay. The Gladstone Hotel has assembled a group of local Canadian artists to transform the 37-room hotel into experimental works of art. The original 19^th century Victorian architecture with exposed brick walls and high ceilings was maintained, while each room was created unique to each of the assigned artist’s distinctive vision. Artist and Food Network Canada host, Bob Blumer, designed room 403 named Surreal Gourmet, a playful and nostalgic room blending retro and personal elements. Marshmallow pillows, a Fruit Loops armoire and a retro kitchen are just some of the unique features in this room. Continue your art tour with the Queen West Art Crawl celebrating the local community. Formerly a one-day outdoor art show, the annual event is now a weekend long festival promoting art and culture.
