Tomo's Room Opening Soon...
[Posted 6/05/2005]

The Gladstone Hotel is the oldest continuously operating hotel in Toronto. Susanna Robinson commissioned architect George Miller, who also designed Massey Hall, to build the Gladstone in 1889. The hotel is gradually being restored to reflect the building’s architectural history and looks forward to opening its newly renovated rooms to guests in May/June 2005.

Accommodations
Guests can choose to stay in one of 15 artist designed rooms. Each of these rooms has been individually designed by local Toronto artists, some famous, some not. Artists were selected from a formal submissions process and room designs were chosen based on their originality and intent, with the comfort of guests in mind. The artist designed rooms are not themed rooms; however they are as eclectic and as the Gladstone clientele ranging in aesthetic from high art and design to craft. Each room is truly individual.
