Three of Toronto's biggest sports venues sit within a 20-minute walk of each other. Scotiabank Arena (Raptors, Maple Leafs) and Rogers Centre (Blue Jays) face each other across the street in the South Core, while BMO Field, home of Toronto FC and the CFL's Argonauts, is a 15-minute streetcar ride west at Exhibition Place on Lake Ontario. Base yourself in the Entertainment District and you can catch a Leafs game, a Jays game, and a TFC match in one weekend without a car. Entertainment District and Downtown Core are the easiest first pick, with the most hotels and the fastest streetcar to BMO Field. Liberty Village and Exhibition sit next to BMO Field and feel quieter, ideal for a Toronto FC match or concert, while Queen West suits travelers who care more about indie galleries than arena-side convenience. Expect real game-night surge pricing: a 250 dollar February room can hit 700 dollars or more on a Leafs-Raptors weekend. We picked 10 real Toronto hotels across every budget, from Hotel X Toronto, the only property inside the Exhibition Place gates and a 10-minute walk to BMO Field, to the historic Fairmont Royal York across from Union Station, plus the 1 Hotel, the Drake, and Marriott, Hyatt, and Radisson options within reach of a Leafs game.

Hotel X Toronto, a Destination by Hyatt Hotel — hotel No. 1 #1 Closest to the stadium · inside the Exhibition Place grounds 9

📍 Inside the Exhibition Place grounds on the shore of Lake Ontario — about 650 metres (under 10 minutes) on foot to BMO Field, with downtown reached by the 509/511 streetcar or a GO Train from the adjacent Exhibition station.

Under 10 minutes' walk to BMO Field (~650 m) 🌊 Lakefront high-rise on Lake Ontario 🏊 Rooftop pool plus an on-site sports centre
Inside Exhibition Place, walk to BMO FieldRooftop pool with lake viewsTen X sports centre on site250-seat cinema

Hotel X Toronto, a Destination by Hyatt Hotel is the ace in the hole for anyone here to watch a Toronto FC match or a concert, because it is the one hotel that sits right inside the Exhibition Place grounds — the walk from the lobby to BMO Field is only about 650 metres, under 10 minutes, and no other hotel in the city comes close. The building is a tall, handsome high-rise on the shore of Lake Ontario, and its roughly 404 rooms open onto either the deep-blue lake or the Toronto skyline. What sets it apart is the resort-in-the-city kit: a rooftop Sky pool with lake views, a Guerlain spa, the Ten X sports centre with squash, basketball, a climbing wall and indoor courts (nine in all), and a private 250-seat cinema. For downtown there is a streetcar and a GO Train from the adjacent Exhibition station. It scores 9.0/10, and suits football fans and families who want to walk to the ground without touching a car.

  • Inside Exhibition Place, under 10 minutes' walk to BMO Field
  • Rooftop pool, sports centre and cinema all in the building
  • Rooms with full lake or skyline views
  • Away from downtown, so you ride the streetcar or GO Train
  • Rates spike and the area gets packed during big events

1 Hotel Toronto

From ~$343

📍 King West / Wellington West — the heart of Toronto's design and dining district. Take the 504/511 streetcar and it is about 15–20 minutes on to the stadium.

🌿 More than 3,000 trees throughout the building 🏙️ Toronto skyline & Lake Ontario views ♻️ Glacial rock & recycled wood
Concept-driven eco buildingSkyline & lake views3,000+ treesKing West design district

1 Hotel Toronto is a 5-star eco-luxury hotel on Wellington Street West, in the heart of King West — one of the city's best design and dining districts. What sets it apart from the usual upscale stay is its commitment to biophilic design: it pulls nature indoors for real, from a lobby built with Canadian glacial rock and recycled wood salvaged from the old port, to more than 3,000 trees and plants scattered through the building until it feels like walking into a forest in the middle of the city. Rooms run warm earth tones with big floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto full panoramic views of the Toronto skyline and Lake Ontario. Up on the roof there's a pool and a city-view bar. Reviews consistently praise the relaxed feel and the distinctive design, and the location lets you walk the whole neighborhood for coffee and stylish restaurants. Streetcar 504/511 reaches the stadium in about 15–20 minutes. Overall 8.7/10 — best for couples and design lovers who want a beautiful, concept-driven base downtown.

  • Distinctive eco design that feels like a forest downtown
  • Skyline & lake views through floor-to-ceiling glass
  • King West setting puts good restaurants on every block
  • Luxury rates with high add-on costs

Canadian boutique 9.5 scoreconnected to Scotiabank Arenafree deluxe breakfast5-min walk to Union Station

Picture a hotel where you step out of the elevator and can almost walk straight into the arena where the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors play. That is Le Germain Hotel Toronto Maple Leaf Square, a Canadian boutique hotel under Groupe Germain Hôtels, the Quebec family-run group known for warm, personal service. It sits inside the Maple Leaf Square complex in the heart of downtown Toronto, directly connected to Scotiabank Arena. What pushed guest scores to 9.5 on both Agoda and Booking — the highest here — is staff that real reviews consistently describe as attentive, going beyond what you expect, plus a free deluxe breakfast many call the highlight of the stay. Rooms are warm and modern with big windows, soft beds and an in-room coffee maker; some high floors look out over the city or Lake Ontario. Union Station is about a 5-minute walk, with CN Tower and Rogers Centre close by on foot.

The Drake Hotel — hotel No. 4 #4 Art boutique · Queen West 8.6

The Drake Hotel

From ~$214

📍 On Queen Street West in the Queen West neighborhood, right at the edge of Liberty Village, surrounded by cafes, galleries and stylish shops lining the street.

Picture a late-19th-century building on one of Toronto's most stylish streets, rebuilt into a hotel, gallery, restaurant and music club all at once — that's The Drake Hotel, a boutique of just 51 rooms on Queen Street West at the edge of Liberty Village. What sets it apart is the contemporary art scattered through every corner, from the lobby and hallways into the rooms, so it feels like sleeping inside a gallery. Guests talk up the laid-back Sky Yard rooftop, the several in-building bars, and above all Drake Underground, the basement venue running live music and events almost nightly. The location is a draw too, ringed by cafes, galleries and vintage shops you can wander all day. Hop the 504 streetcar out front and transfer to the 509/511 to reach BMO Field, home of Toronto FC (MLS), at Exhibition Place. Real review scores back it up: 8.6 on both Agoda and Booking, 4.3 on Tripadvisor, a Top 10 in the city.

Gladstone House — hotel No. 5 #5 Art boutique · Victorian building on Queen West 8.5

Gladstone House

From ~$194

📍 On the west end of Queen Street West in Toronto's Queen West district, ringed by cafés, galleries and quirky shops, and close to the Exhibition Place side. Streetcar 504 stops in front of the hotel and connects to the 509 for BMO Field (home of Toronto FC). Downtown Core and the CN Tower are an easy ride away.

55 artist-designed rooms1889 red-brick VictorianQueen West near Exhibitioncleanliness & staff 9.1-9.2

Picture a stately red-brick Victorian building that has stood on Queen Street West since 1889 — old enough to count as one of Toronto's longest continuously operating hotels. That is Gladstone House, a 55-room boutique with one thing no chain can copy: every room was designed by a different local artist or designer, and no two are alike. Opening each door feels like walking into a separate piece of living art — some rooms loud and playful, others warm and understated, none of them the cookie-cutter box you get at a chain. What real guests agree on most is cleanliness, comfort and staff, which score a high 9.1-9.2. The location helps too: you are on the west end of Queen West, surrounded by cafés, galleries and offbeat shops, and close to the Exhibition side of town. Streetcar 504 stops out front, then a transfer to 509 gets you to BMO Field, home of Toronto FC. Overall 8.5/10 on Agoda and Booking, 4.4 on Tripadvisor.

  • 55 rooms, each designed by a different local artist
  • 1889 Victorian, one of Toronto's oldest hotels
  • Cleanliness, comfort and staff rated 9.1-9.2

🌊 Lake Ontario and skyline views 🏟️ Walk to CN Tower / Rogers Centre 🚆 Connected to Union Station via underground PATH

Delta Hotels by Marriott Toronto is a 4-star, 567-room high-rise in the Harbourfront / Southcore district, right on Lake Ontario. The thing guests love most is the view — most rooms have big picture windows that open onto the blue water, cutting across the CN Tower and Toronto's skyscraper skyline, and pulling the curtain on that scene each morning is what reviews mention over and over. The location is a winner for sports fans and city sightseers alike: it is a 5–10 minute walk to the CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium and Rogers Centre, and the underground PATH walkway links straight into Union Station without stepping out into the cold or snow. From there GO Transit reaches Exhibition station in a single stop. Inside there is an indoor pool, a whirlpool, a fitness room and a rooftop bar for evening drinks. Review scores hit 9.2/10 on both Agoda and Booking.

  • Lake and skyline views from the rooms are gorgeous
  • Walk to the CN Tower / Rogers Centre in 5–10 minutes
  • High 9.2/10 review score, good value for 4-star

Picture a hotel where you step out the door and you're already on the lakeside path along Lake Ontario, sailboats bobbing nearby and a cool breeze coming off the water all day — that's the Radisson Blu Toronto Downtown at 249 Queens Quay West, in the heart of the Harbourfront district. The reason guests rate this place so highly is the location: a 9.3/10, because you're right on the lake next to Harbourfront Centre, the waterfront arts venue running events all year. The detail every review agrees on is the rooftop pool that opens onto a full view of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario — a photo angle you rarely get at this price. Rooms run a clean, modern tone with big windows, and many higher floors look out over the lake or the city skyline. Getting around is easy: the 509 Harbourfront streetcar stops in front and runs straight to Exhibition station by BMO Field, while the CN Tower and Rogers Centre are both walkable.

  • Lakeside location scores 9.3 — walk Harbourfront straight from the door
  • Rooftop pool framing the CN Tower and Lake Ontario
  • 509 stops out front and runs straight to Exhibition station
  • Older building — some rooms and common areas look well-used

Picture a glossy black tower rising against the Toronto sky with BISHA glowing at the top — that is BISHA, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Toronto, a 5-star lifestyle hotel under Marriott's Luxury Collection at 80 Blue Jays Way, in the heart of the buzzy Entertainment District. It opened in 2017 with a boutique concept that plays hard with design: the lobby runs dark with gold and velvet, more cocktail bar than hotel front desk. The talking point is the floor-44 penthouse suite designed by rock musician Lenny Kravitz through his Kravitz Design studio, plus the KOST rooftop pool with a Mexican-coastal bar over the skyline, and 4 restaurants and bars in the same building. The roughly 96 rooms and suites wear deep, dramatic tones with floor-to-ceiling windows. Rogers Centre and CN Tower are an 8–10 minute walk; for BMO Field, catch the 504 streetcar on King West then the 509/511, about 15 minutes.

  • Bold, characterful design — feels like staying in a fashion boutique
  • KOST rooftop pool with city views plus 4 restaurants and bars

Hyatt Regency Toronto is a 394-room, 4-star chain high-rise standing on King West, right in the heart of the Entertainment District — one of the city's busiest stretches of theaters, restaurants and nightlife. The draw here is exactly what you'd want from a familiar chain: a dependable standard, an open and modern lobby, and roomy, warmly styled rooms, many of which look out over the Toronto skyline and the CN Tower through big windows. The feature reviews mention most is the rooftop pool, where you can soak and take in the city, backed by a fitness center and the 7 King restaurant serving contemporary food. Guests consistently praise the friendly staff who remember names. It's a few steps to the Princess of Wales Theatre, about 10 minutes on foot to Rogers Centre, and roughly 30 minutes to BMO Field by streetcar route 504 then 509/511. Scoring 8.8/10, it suits travelers who want a known chain standard and a central, walk-everywhere base.

  • Central Entertainment District location, walk to the theaters and Rogers Centre
  • Rooftop pool with city views plus roomy, comfortable rooms
  • Dependable Hyatt chain standard and friendly staff
  • Not walkable to BMO Field, a streetcar ride is needed

Fairmont Royal York — hotel No. 10 #10 Classic icon · across from Union Station 8.3

Fairmont Royal York

From ~$243

📍 Dead centre of Downtown on Front Street, directly across from Union Station — a PATH tunnel connects straight into the station and runs underground all the way to Scotiabank Arena. CN Tower and Rogers Centre are about an 8 to 10 minute walk, and from Union, GO Transit's Lakeshore West line reaches Exhibition station (by BMO Field and Exhibition Place) in a single stop, roughly 6 minutes.

🏛️ Landmark building opened 1929 🚉 Across from Union Station, direct PATH link 🏒 Underground PATH walk to Scotiabank Arena
Landmark hotel opened 1929Across from Union StationDirect PATH, skip the snowGO Transit one stop to the stadium

Picture a massive French-castle stone building with a distinctive green copper roof that has stood in the middle of Downtown Toronto since 1929 — that is the Fairmont Royal York, the city's landmark luxury hotel, built in the golden age of rail travel and placed deliberately right across from Union Station, the city's largest train and bus hub. It was once the tallest building in the British Empire, and locals still recognise it instantly. What guests fall for — and what earns it 8.3 on both Agoda and Booking — is the historic, classic character of the building, the high-ceilinged lobby dressed in chandeliers, and arguably the best location in town for easy travel: a PATH tunnel connects directly into Union Station and underground all the way to Scotiabank Arena, no winter wind required. There are over 1,300 rooms, plus restaurants, bars, a spa, fitness centre and an indoor pool. From Union, GO Transit's Lakeshore West line reaches Exhibition station by BMO Field in one stop, around 6 minutes, while CN Tower and Rogers Centre are an 8 to 10 minute walk.

  • Historic icon building opened 1929, right across from Union Station
  • Direct PATH link, walk underground to the arena without touching snow
  • Best transport location in the city
  • Some rooms feel older than newer hotels in the area
  • Big hotel — lobby and check-in get crowded at peak times

Which one — by trip style

🏨
#1 Closest to the stadium · inside the Exhibition Place grounds
Hotel X Toronto, a Destination by Hyatt Hotel

#1 Hotel X Toronto is the rare chance to sleep inside the Exhibition Place grounds and stroll to BMO Field in a few minutes — the closest stay to the ground in the city, with nothing to rival it, plus a lake-view rooftop pool, an on-site sports centre and a private cinema.

🏨
#2 Eco design · Wellington West district
1 Hotel Toronto

#2 1 Hotel Toronto is like sleeping in a forest in the middle of the city — an eco-minded building of glacial rock, recycled wood and thousands of trees that has you relaxed the moment you step into the lobby, with design, atmosphere and skyline views that suit couples and design lovers who value beauty with a concept.

🏨
#3 boutique stay · connected to Scotiabank Arena
Le Germain Hotel Toronto Maple Leaf Square

#3 Le Germain Maple Leaf Square is a Canadian boutique hotel that sells warm service and a free deluxe breakfast, built right beside Scotiabank Arena so you can walk to the game in a few steps — the highest review score on this list at 9.5/10, stronger on attentive staff and a central walk-everywhere location than on lavish rooms or a long amenity list.

🏨
#4 Art boutique · Queen West
The Drake Hotel

#4 The Drake Hotel is a 51-room art-filled boutique on Queen West that's a hotel, gallery, restaurant and live-music club all in one building — it leads on character and a chill-party vibe near Liberty Village far more than any quiet chain hotel would.

🏨
#5 Art boutique · Victorian building on Queen West
Gladstone House

#5 Gladstone House is a historic red-brick Victorian on Queen West where every room was designed by a different local artist, so a stay feels like sleeping inside a living piece of art — built on old-building charm and a century-plus of stories rather than the polish of a brand-new hotel.

🏨
#6 waterfront views · walk to Rogers Centre
Delta Hotels by Marriott Toronto

#6 Delta by Marriott is the waterfront hotel where you wake up to the lake and the skyline filling the window, walk a few steps to the CN Tower and Rogers Centre, and duck through the underground walkway to Union Station without facing the snow — strong on location, view and an unusually high review score, made for families and view-lovers who want to stay next to the stadium.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Toronto safe for tourists?
Yes — Toronto is one of the safer big cities in North America, and Downtown / Entertainment District is well-lit and busy until late. Standard urban awareness applies: keep an eye on your phone on packed streetcars, avoid the very east end of Queen East late at night, and skip the late-night TTC stretch if you can. Game nights bring crowds, not crime.
When is the best time to visit Toronto for sports + sightseeing?
Late May through June and September through mid-October are the sweet spots — 18-25°C, lower humidity than midsummer, baseball is in full swing at Rogers Centre, and TFC matches BMO Field. Summer concert season also takes over June and July, so expect peak crowds and prices then. Winters are brutally cold (-10°C, snow) but bring you Leafs and Raptors home games.
Which neighbourhood should I stay in for sports trips?
Entertainment District / South Core for maximum flexibility — you can walk to Scotiabank Arena (Raptors, Leafs) and Rogers Centre (Blue Jays) in under 10 minutes, and the 509 streetcar gets you to BMO Field in 12-15 minutes. If your trip centres on a Toronto FC match or a BMO Field concert, Liberty Village or Exhibition Place puts BMO Field on foot. Queen West works if you want indie food and a slightly arty vibe over arena-side convenience.
How do I get from Pearson Airport (YYZ) to downtown Toronto?
The UP Express train is by far the easiest — $12.35 CAD one-way, runs every 15 minutes, hits downtown's Union Station in exactly 25 minutes. Taxis and Ubers run about $60-75 CAD and take 35-50 minutes depending on traffic, which is often grim. If you land at Billy Bishop (YTZ) instead, you are already a 10-minute walk to downtown via the underground tunnel — no transit needed.
Do I need a visa to visit Canada?
Most visa-exempt travellers (Thai, EU, UK, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and others) need an eTA — an electronic travel authorization that costs $7 CAD, takes a few minutes online at canada.ca, and is linked to your passport. US citizens only need a valid passport. Other nationalities need a proper Temporary Resident Visa; apply at least a month ahead. Always check the official Government of Canada site before booking.
What is the currency and tipping etiquette in Toronto?
Canadian dollars (CAD) — at the time of writing, about 35 baht / 0.74 USD per CAD. Cards are accepted everywhere, tap-to-pay is universal, and very few places still want cash. Tip 15-18% at restaurants (20% for great service), $2-3 per drink at bars, and round up cabs. Sales tax (13% HST) is added at the till, not on the menu — so a $30 dish actually costs $34, plus tip.
