Holiday Inn Express & Suites Vaughan-Southwest by IHG

We recently had our wedding at Hotel Ocho in September and had a fantastic experience from start to finish! The venue itself is beautiful and has such a fun city vibe right in the heart of downtown Toronto. The two-floor layout worked perfectly for our day (the ceremony downstairs, dinner upstairs, and dancing back downstairs) and we found it was the perfect space for our guest count of 72 people. We also loved having access to the outdoor patio for cocktail hour, which was such a bonus with the nice weather. The team was incredibly accommodating, especially with many of our guests having allergies and dietary restrictions. Everything was handled seamlessly and we never had any issues. A special shout-out to our coordinator, Rish, who was truly amazing. She answered our millions of questions and made us feel supported every step of the way (we miss stopping by the venue with our dog, Murphy, to say hi and chat!). We’re so happy we chose Hotel Ocho for our wedding and would recommend it to couples looking for a charming, intimate downtown venue with great vibes and a fantastic team!

Booked through my RBC points and it was such a cute hotel. The staff honestly made it such a smooth experience. We were in for a concert from out of province and time was tight; the staff were so accommodating in letting us check in late, and they kept our belongings safe for us. The rooms were nice too, felt like a Toronto apartment. Would definitely choose this place again, hopefully with more time!

I got the room very last minute, but it was great! Beautiful room & wonderful views with all the amenities you’d need. Perfect location (very walkable to many close by attractions), clean, comfortable and they even left chocolates and water on the desk! Very friendly and helpful staff, shout out to Nial at the bar. They were able to store my luggage because of early arrival/late departure flights.
