294. Staycation | Gladstone Hotel

A couple nights ago I had a little "staycation" right here in the city. I spent a night at the Gladstone Hotel, located on the west end of Toronto. Staycations are the next best thing to actual vacations..and I partly wanted to check out some other hotels in the city to review for the blog.

The Gladstone is a creative boutique hotel with rooms individually designed by different artists. The building is part art gallery and part hotel. Each room is unique and has its own theme - kind of reminded me of Hotel Fox where I stayed in Copenhagen. I love hotels like these! They give you the option of choosing which one you want to stay, based on availability of course. I stayed in one called Urban Voyageur. Check out their other rooms!

Here's my room (2nd photo taken from their site) - very cozy and rustic chic:




LOVED that they have tablets in every room


The mini-bar


Pharmacopia toiletries - scented like honey :)



The hallways of my floor - art all over the walls




The cafe and bar - really like the brick walls


The elevator is over 100 years old and hand-operated!

The staff here were extremely friendly - the elevator operator/porter even showed me all the way to my room and made sure my card worked before he left. I had a wonderful stay here and recommend it if you're into creative artsy hotels!
