Where to stay in Casa Loma
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Stays here centre on one building. The neighbourhood occupies midtown Toronto around the mansion itself, and a room here leaves Spadina House, the Church of the Messiah and Avenue Road Church all inside the same few streets. Ardwold and The Elephant House belong to the same register.
Anyone who would rather be downtown will still reach the castle and its garden without difficulty.
