About Entertainment District
The Entertainment District is the stretch of downtown around King and John streets, from University Avenue west to Spadina. Roy Thomson Hall, the Royal Alexandra and Princess of Wales theatres and TIFF Lightbox line King Street, and the CN Tower, Rogers Centre and Metro Toronto Convention Centre are a short walk south.
Most of what's here is high-rise condo towers on Peter, John, Nelson and Simcoe streets. Visitors come for shows, conventions, ball games and the film festival every September, and the City's registry shows plenty of owners here already host short stays. Rules still change from one tower to the next, so check yours below.
What our data shows
- Most short-term rentals registered with the City: Peter Street Condos (166 units), Studio 2 (80 units) and 20 John St (39 units).
- Monthly stays only, no nightly rentals: 168 Simcoe St and Noir Residences.
- Long-term leases only: 295 Adelaide St W, 39 Niagara St, 50 Ordnance St and 99 John St.
- Mixed signals, so check first: 38 Widmer St (5 registered units). A building survey said short-term rentals aren't permitted, yet units there are registered with the City.
