About Downtown East & the Garden District
The Garden District is a heritage pocket east of Yonge Street, named for Allan Gardens — the free, year-round conservatory whose six glasshouses have been growing palms and orchids since 1910. Toronto Metropolitan University starts eight minutes west, the Eaton Centre's 200-plus shops are ten minutes door to door, and Massey Hall, Mackenzie House and Cabbagetown's Victorian streets all sit inside a short radius, with St. Lawrence Market a quick streetcar ride south. It's a natural fit for TMU families, longer-stay business travellers, and anyone who wants downtown without the downtown premium — every suite is a full condo with kitchen and in-suite laundry.
Why book direct
Booking direct with StayToronto means no online-travel-agency markup, a local team you can reach on WhatsApp before and during your stay, and the best available rate on every suite.
