The Drake Hotel is a hospitality venue on Queen Street West in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, near Parkdale.

In addition to a 51-room boutique hotel,[1] there is a restaurant lounge, corner café with street-level patio, Sky Yard roof top patio, and the Drake Underground basement nightclub and live performance venue.

[2] The Drake Underground primarily features indie acts, though past noted performers include M.I.A., Billie Eilish and Beck.

At the time, the area was a major Canadian Pacific Railway hub near what was then one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in the city.

James Earl Ray described visiting a bar around the corner—likely the Drake—while living as a fugitive on nearby Ossington Avenue in 1968.
