The Guild Inn facing the gardens
Toronto, such a modern city today, can still surprise us with treasures from the past.
After being abandoned for many years, the historical Guild Inn at the Guild Park & Gardens, once a hotel and artist’s colony, was recently restored and expanded to function as a place where people can celebrate life’s milestones.
The Guild Inn restoration was done with care and thought – proving that we don’t have to demolish every tangible sign of a long-ago Toronto in the creation of the Toronto of today and tomorrow.

What a special place!! I remember our day there last summer and how much I enjoyed wandering through the gardens and the buildings. Really a treasure and so glad it’s been restored. Thank you for posting this Emanuel.
