The Anndore House

Some celebrations are best when everyone can stay close. At The Anndore House, a hotel on Charles Street East, steps from Yonge and Bloor in downtown Toronto, a gathering can begin in a private event room and end just down the hall in a suite.

The hotel's second-level private event space is called The Next Level. It is a customizable, sleek and modern open-concept room designed for business, personal and everything-in-between events.

The Next Level comfortably fits 25 guests for a seated event and up to 80 for a cocktail-style celebration. The room measures 754 square feet, with a theatre setup listed for 65 and a reception setup for 60.

A comfortable lounge area sits at one end of the room, while a fully equipped wet bar at the other is ready for cocktails, draft beer or coffee. There is also an outdoor terrace for warm-weather evenings, a lovely place for guests to sip and stargaze.

On-site catering is available for all events, so food can be handled without bringing in outside help.

Two deluxe private suites add to the appeal. One connects directly, but discreetly, to the event room, and the other is located one door down the hall, which can make getting ready or slipping away at the end of the night wonderfully easy.

Because this is a hotel, friends and family travelling into Toronto can stay right in the building rather than heading off across the city when the evening ends.

For couples who picture an intimate downtown celebration, a stylish cocktail reception or a rehearsal dinner with everyone close by, The Anndore House offers a modern private space with the comforts of a stylish downtown hotel.
