National Hotel is a hotel in Toronto, Canada.[1] Wikidata describes it as “hotel in Toronto, Ontario”. It opened in 1868. It stands about 2.6 km from the centre of Toronto.[3]

Overview

The National Hotel was a hotel built on the southeast corner of King and Sherbourne streets, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Under pressure for condominium apartment redevelopment, the City of Toronto attempted to preserve the building, designating it a heritage site in 2009, but the building was eventually torn down in 2013. The hotel's north and west facades were preserved as part of the new condominium development, examples of "facadism" in Toronto.
