Hockey Hall of Fame Hotels & Accommodation

As Toronto is so big and diverse, it’s easy to find accommodation to suit any budget and taste. The city attracts a youthful crowd, so there’s plenty of cheap yet stylish hostels in each neighbourhood to rest your head, and even make new friends. However, if you’d prefer a double bed and fluffy white robe, the city is also home to some of Canada’s finest luxury hotels.

📍 Where To Stay

Old Town is the ideal district to stay in if you want ease and simplicity, as Union Station (which provides links across the city) will only ever be a few blocks away. As the city’s most historic district, Old Town is also home to plenty of iconic landmarks like the Flatiron Building and St Lawrence Market.

Meanwhile, the neighbouring Entertainment District, crowned by the lofty CN Tower, awaits to fill your boots with live theatre, sports, and music. With one of the biggest bar and club scenes in the city too, you’re never too far away from a party.

Alternatively, dive headfirst into Toronto’s artistic side by staying in Kensington Market or The Annex. These diverse and cultural neighbourhoods are filled with independent shops selling everything artsy, vintage, and organic.

While most neighbourhoods in and around Downtown Toronto are family-friendly, they’re often quite edgy and catered to a younger crowd. Yorkville, however, is quieter and more refined with some of the best shops, restaurants, and hotels in the area.

Toronto is a true metropolis with many distinct and exciting districts and neighbourhoods to visit and stay in. So, whether you want bustling and booming, or cool and quirky, you can be sure the city has what you’re looking for.

About Hockey Hall of Fame

The Hockey Hall of Fame – as well as being a figurative recognition of sporting excellence in the ice hockey world – is a museum featuring exhibits, memorabilia, trophies, and a record of inductees and is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is connected to Brooklyn Place, a building complex that also houses the iconic Allen Lambert Galleria.

📜 History

Although the Hockey Hall of Fame was founded in 1943, with the first Honoured Members announced in 1945, the museum did not open in its current location until June 1993 having found a home in numerous locations during its lifetime.

The Hall of Fame's current location is in the former Bank of Montreal, which has stood on the site since 1885. It had previously shared a home with the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in Alberta, but space on the site had increasingly become an issue – their new home was approximately 7 times larger, with more than 50,000 sq ft of exhibition space.

The museum displays the original Stanley Cup and also features an NHL Zone and a World of Hockey Zone devoted to the sport outside of North America.

The venue hosts events during the annual Hockey Hall of Fame Induction Weekend such as a Fan Forum where the public gets to participate in a Q&A with the year's chosen inductees into the Hall of Fame. The Allen Lambert Galleria often hosts the induction ceremony itself.

🍔 Food & Drink

Food and drinks are not permitted to be brought into the Hockey Hall of Fame, but there are refreshment and snack machines inside.

There is a Tim Hortons within the Hockey Hall of Fame adjacent to the Spirit of Hockey retail store offering coffee, snacks, donuts, sandwiches, and much more.

Although eating and drinking facilities at the Hall of Fame are limited, there are some great places nearby. The Bottom Line is a sport bar owned and operated by former NHL star Wayne Cowley and is located at 22 Front Street West.

💂 Entry Gates
