A new boutique hotel and restaurant is coming to Queen Street West
A new boutique hotel and restaurant is coming to Queen Street West
Before Toronto became all about big-name luxury hotel chains, the The Drake and The Gladstone were emblems of the city’s love for almost painfully hip boutique lodgings. Now, a new 18-room hotel is set to open in the heart of the Queen West shopping strip, potentially signalling that boutique is back. The Beverley will occupy the narrow, Foot Locker-adjacent space at 335 Queen Street West and will include a restaurant helmed by chef Eric Wood (formerly of Hawthorne Food and Drink). Further details remain scarce, though a disapproving letter from councillor Adam Vaughan from September suggests the restaurant might have a lounge, a rooftop patio and room for 160 diners. The opening date is rumoured to be later this month.
Once again, Adam Vaughan adds complications and gets in the way of progress. It’s left leaning, anti-business, anti-progress stances like this that make our portly buffoon of a mayor look like the lesser of 2 evils.
