• Travelling from out of town with friends or family? Conveniently located just one block from Roy Thomson Hall, our group rate at the Residence Inn is ideal for those sharing accommodation, and provides all the amenities of an AirBnb, as well as a daily breakfast buffet.

    Rooms are limited at our reduced rate so book before Friday April 24, 2026.

  • “The proper drinking of whisky is more than indulgence: it is a toast to civilization, a tribute to the continuity of culture, a manifesto of humanity’s determination to use the resources of nature to refresh mind and body, and enjoy to the full the senses with which we have been endowed.”

    — David Daiches, ‘Scotch Whisky: Its Past and Present’

Established in 2004, Spirit of Toronto is Canada’s premier whisky and spirits show for connoisseurs by connoisseurs, set in the iconic surrounds of Roy Thomson Hall, a Canadian architectural landmark.

For one evening each year, we transform this space into a haven of whisky and fine spirits, working with participating brands to curate a selection of 100 plus whiskies and premium spirits, tutored tastings, live jazz, a gourmet table d’hôte, cocktails, and food pairings.

For guests, it’s an opportunity to taste and learn with distillers, blenders, brand ambassadors and industry professionals.

For ourselves, it’s an opportunity to share our latest finds and hidden gems with likeminded connoisseurs, and an occasion to open bottles that are rarely available for public tasting.
