The Broadview Hotel hosts day meetings, company receptions, private dinners and weddings for up to 250 guests across five spaces, from a 20-seat dining room in a rooftop tower to a 3,000 sq ft hall with exposed brick. The hotel occupies a building in Toronto's Riverside neighborhood that has been an East End landmark since 1891, and it has 58 bedrooms upstairs for guests who stay the night.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells a day meeting package called Made for Meetings, available Monday to Thursday for groups of at least 10 people booking at least 5 bedrooms. It covers a continental breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack, coffee, tea and water all day, and a projector, screen and microphone. For larger company events, Lincoln Hall seats 140 and opens onto Lincoln Terrace for cocktail receptions of up to 250. The Rooftop takes 130 guests indoors in cocktail style and up to 200 with its patio and the Tower. Two social packages, Sunrise Social with a brunch buffet and Sunset Social with drinks, canapés and a taco bar, suit team gatherings of 40 guests or more. Every space has Wi-Fi, and most have an integrated sound system.
Weddings and receptions
The events team plans weddings with a private bridal suite and a groom's lounge, preferred room rates for guests and a group discount from five bedrooms. Lincoln Hall with its terrace is the largest reception option, at 250 guests standing or 140 seated. The Rooftop, under a glass pyramid skylight with views over the city and the Don River, holds up to 200. The Tower seats 20 for a rehearsal dinner or a small wedding meal.
Rooms and capacities
Lincoln Hall measures 3,000 sq ft, seats 140 and keeps its exposed brickwork and steel beams, with its own indoor bar. Lincoln Terrace, over 1,000 sq ft, holds 90 standing on a covered and heated patio above Queen Street, with an outdoor bar. The Rooftop covers 3,600 sq ft indoors and out on top of the seventh floor, with a shared bar. The Tower, 440 sq ft, seats 20 under a vaulted ceiling with arched windows, chandeliers and two smart TVs. The Bistro + Bar seats 45 or takes 80 for cocktails, and is semi-private from 5 p.m.
Accommodation
The hotel has 58 bedrooms. Groups that book five rooms or more receive a discount, and the meeting package requires at least five rooms, which makes the hotel a fit for a two-day leadership session.
Catering
Food and drink come from the hotel's own culinary team, and every event space has its own bar. Outside private events, guests can eat at The Rooftop, the Bistro + Bar and Archie's.
History and setting
The building dates from 1891 and has been restored and converted into a hotel. Lincoln Hall keeps its original masonry, and the Tower, with its historic arched windows, is the architectural highlight of the corner. From the seventh floor, the views reach the downtown skyline and the Don River valley.
Getting there
The hotel stands on Queen Street East in Riverside, a short ride east of downtown Toronto across the Don River. Event inquiries go to the events team by email.
