Drake Hotel

  • 1150 Queen St. W. (at Dovercourt Rd.) View on map »
  • 416-531-5042

Wired in more ways than one, this adrenalin-fuelled Queen Street hot spot is not exactly your classic wedding venue—unless you’re a rock star. One L.A. couple had their ceremony in the club-like Underground bar, a reception in the torchy lounge, dinner in the elegant main-floor restaurant and nightcaps in the Sky Yard (the rooftop patio). But most of the hotel’s parties are media launches, arts events and fundraisers. With its Rorschach-print walls and deconstructed stools, the lounge has a sensual vibe, while the Café Bistro holds 30 for dinner and up to 80 for cocktails. The Underground can play almost any role you like. It morphs from club to theatre to party zone at the touch of a designer’s pinky. There are dedicated bars in each of the main areas, and digital projection, wireless Internet and lots of audiovisual services.

How much:
cost of room and event planning services included with minimum catering fee
Catering:
in-house; rates vary.
