Spadina Hotel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spadina Hotel is located on Spadina Avenue and King Street south of Chinatown. Renamed the Global Village Backpacker in 1997, the once seedy motel is now a youth hostel to Toronto, Ontario with clean rooms and laundry facilities.
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 famous Cabana Room and the ground floor bar have disappeared with the last renovations.
