Local bars
The Beaconsfield at 1154 Queen Street West (+1 416 516 2550) just over the road from The Drake is a cute bistro for a beer and a bite.

Worth getting out of bed for
This is a hotel heavensent for cutting-edge culture vultures. As well as all the museum grand dames uptown, for a tour of more contemporary and buyable works, take a trip down Queen Street West, right here in the heart of the Art and Design Design District. Or escape all things urban and go for a great walk through the formal gardens or wooded thickets of High Park, just west of the city. 84 miles south of the city flows the ultimate in natural watery spectacles, Niagara Falls (www.niagarafallstourism.com). Closer to home, on the other side of town are the cobbled lanes of North America's largest Victorian industrial complex, the historic Distillery District, (www.thedistillerydistrict.com) are now a delightful pedestrianised area of warehouses converted into cute cafés, galleries, craft shops.
