Spadina Hotel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Spadina Hotel is small hostel located at Spadina Avenue and King Street, just south of Chinatown.

Built in the late 1800s, the three storey Victorian building features a small clock on the east facade. In the early 1900s it was the Hotel Falconer and shared the corner with another hotel:

  • Power House Hotel - southeast corner

The hotel was renamed the Global Village Backpacker in 1997 and the once seedy motel is now a youth hostel to Toronto, Ontario.

The famous Cabana Room and the ground floor bar have disappeared with the last renovations.
