History

The present hotel is the third hotel on the site. Ontario Terrace opened here in 1843, became Sword’s Hotel in 1853, Revere House in 1860 and Queen’s Hotel in 1862, before being replaced by the Royal York. After the SS Noronic fire, the Royal York’s lobby served as a temporary field hospital. Queen Elizabeth II usually occupied the Royal Suite, with a floor reserved for her party; a private elevator serving the suite was reserved for the royal family.

  1. 1929The Châteauesque hotel opened on 11 June, designed by Ross and Macdonald with Sproatt and Rolph for the Canadian Pacific Railway.
  2. 1939King George VI and Queen Elizabeth became the first royal family members to visit.
  3. 1959An east wing expansion brought the hotel to about 1,600 rooms.
  4. 1972–1973The Royal York Revelation modernization, overseen by Webb Zerafa Menkes Housden, added the lobby’s spiral staircase; a clock donated by the Canadian royal family stands at its centre.
  5. 1988–1993The hotel underwent a $100-million restoration.
