Rossin House Hotel was a mid-19th Century hotel located at the corner of King Street and York Street in Toronto. The original structure was built in 1858 and was destroyed by a fire and re-built in 1863. It was one of the city's pre-eminent hotels, with one 1866 guide claiming: "What the Fifth Avenue Hotel is to New York, and the Windsor is to Montreal, so the celebrated Rossin House is to Toronto."[1]

The five-storey hotel was renamed the Prince George Hotel in 1909 after the future British monarch. It was demolished in 1960 and replaced by the Toronto-Dominion Centre.
