Craft Ontario

Gladstone House Award

Situated in West Queen West, one of Toronto's most creative neighbourhoods, the reimagined Gladstone House maintains its emphasis on culture, art, and diversity, while ensuring the building's rich history and iconic original architecture remain preserved. The celebrated boutique hotel, steeped in history, is brought to life with work by local artists throughout the building. Gladstone House is part of Archive Hospitality, which also operates the Broadview Hotel (Toronto) and the Postmark Hotel (Newmarket).

Gladstone House provides an opportunity for craft professionals to exhibit their work in the guest rooms.
