  otel Victoria, the second oldest hotel in Toronto, was built in 1908 during the reign of King Edward, Queen Victoria’s son. So why isn’t it called the King Edward? That name was already taken by the oldest hotel in Toronto, the King Edward. Funny how that works.
Hotel Victoria is a relic of its colonial past. With just 56 rooms, not only is the Victoria one of the oldest hotels in Toronto, it’s also one of the smallest, especially for the area it’s in. Located right on Downtown Yonge Street, the hotel is walking distance from all the downtown tourist spots (CN Tower, Rogers Centre, Eatons Centre, Hockey Hall of Fame, the Harbourfront, Hummingbird Centre, etc).
The cozy size is a throwback to European-style (or New York-style) boutique hotels, but in a very urban area of the city. Of course, you won’t be blown away by the place. The rooms are relaxed and they include everything you need, but there won’t be anything that will make you feel like a V.I.P. If that’s what you’re looking for, then stay at the Four Seasons or the Park Hyatt in Yorkville. What you’ll get at Hotel Victoria is a nice but rather average hotel in a great location and for relatively cheap.
