Marriott Courtyard Toronto Downtown
Each year at the end of June, Toronto plays host to Pride Week. It’s ten days of queer celebration that turns streets into parades and parking lots into parties. Come out and meet some of the one million people that crowd the downtown for the festivities. If you can’t make it to Pride, there are literally hundreds of other cultural events throughout the year—including Inside Out, Canada’s largest lesbian and gay film and video festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, Taste of the Danforth, Fringe Festival and The Word on the Street. And November means Mr. Leatherman is coming to town. Toronto always offers places to go, people to see.
Explore the many museums and galleries that the city has to offer. The Royal Ontario Museum is home to thousands of years of diverse culture, while the Bata Shoe Museum has a much more specific focus. After the museum, take in a ballet at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. Looking for something a little camp? No gay visit to Toronto is complete without a visit to the kitch Honest Ed’s emporium.
The Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Toronto is located on Yonge Street one block north of College, just steps from the transit system and minutes from the Eaton Centre shopping mall, upscale Bloor/Yorkville shopping district, Yonge Dundas Square, eclectic restaurants, entertainment and diverse neighbourhoods like the Church-Wellesley Gay Village.
At the world’s largest Courtyard by Marriott in Downtown Toronto, experience high-tech, high-style, high-touch lobby, and full service amenities including 575 spacious guestrooms in the city.
