About Erindale
Where to stay in Erindale
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Beds here are a Mississauga matter. Erindale lies in the central part of the city, an older residential quarter whose name goes back to a village of 1805 rather than to any hotel frontage. It sits west of Toronto.
Anyone using it as a base is trading the pull of the larger city for a quieter address inside Mississauga, and taking the drive as the trade.
About Erindale

Mississauga keeps its attractions on other streets, and a walk through Erindale is a walk through an old village ground taken in by the city around it.
What is the history of Erindale?
