Art is everywhere in this flophouse turned boutique hotel. Other hotels have rooms; the Drake has 'crash pads, dens, salons' and a rockin' little suite, beckoning bohemians, artists and musicians with a little spare cash. Rooms are smallish, and en suite bathrooms are only separated by a curtain, but all are impeccably furnished with a sense of fun and mid-Century Modern design.
Complimentary yoga and spinning classes are offered in neighborhood studios; cruiser bikes are available, too. The attached bar and band room is one of Toronto's finest venues for live music, and in summer the Sky Yard rooftop patio goes off to DJ beats and icy buckets of Coronas.
