Step into a renovated 1890s forge where every room tells the story of Toronto's industrial past, but with all the comforts you'd expect from a proper luxury stay.
Each room's got its own character - we kept the exposed brick, the cast iron, and those massive beams that've been here since 1892.
Look, we've got all the usual hotel stuff, but we do it with a bit more personality. The building's history shows up in everything we offer.
Every room's different - we kept the quirks and added the comfort. No cookie-cutter rooms here.
Our chef's obsessed with local ingredients, and the bar? It's in the actual old forge. Cocktails taste better near a century-old furnace.
Host meetings in rooms where actual steel deals were made. The irony's not lost on us.
Heat treatments take on new meaning when you're in a former forge. Our spa's a real escape.
We'll show you the cool stuff - secret passages, old machinery, and stories that aren't in the guidebooks.
Need something at 3am? We're here. That's the deal - day or night, we've got you covered.
This place started cranking out ironwork in 1892. Railway parts, building materials, tools - you name it. The Ignivarion family ran it for three generations before the industry changed and the forge went quiet.
We spent five years bringing it back to life, keeping everything that made it special. Those grooves in the floor? From workers pushing heavy carts for 80 years. The scorch marks on the walls? Those are staying too.
Walking through here, you're literally following the footsteps of hundreds of craftsmen who knew their trade inside and out. We think that's worth preserving.
Read the Full StoryWe're on King Street East, which means you can walk to the Distillery District in ten minutes, catch a show at the St. Lawrence Centre, or grab a coffee in St. Lawrence Market before most tourists even wake up.
The streetcar stops right outside, Union Station's a quick hop away, and if you're driving, we've got secure parking. Though honestly, you won't need a car much around here.
Real guests, real opinions. We don't make this stuff up.
"Stayed here for our anniversary and wow - the Foundry Suite blew us away. They weren't kidding about keeping the original character. That exposed brick and the old machinery? Chef's kiss. Plus the bed was crazy comfortable."
"Business trip turned into a history lesson. The concierge gave me a tour during downtime - absolutely fascinating. The conference room we used? It's where they used to draft designs. Pretty cool backdrop for a pitch meeting."
"The Forge Bar is now my favorite spot in Toronto. Had a bourbon neat sitting next to an actual forge furnace. The bartender knew his stuff, and the whole vibe is just... different. In the best way possible. Coming back next month."
