This bright and spacious suite is located on our 1st floor - close to our street entrance and next to our complimentary espresso bar at reception.

Cube features three spaces in one: lounge/couches, high tops and a presentation space (which can be configured for conferencing, presentations [row seating or classroom tables], or social space (high tops only.)

Its a versatile space that works very well for groups of 50 or less - with a full AV suite that lets you simply plugin a laptop and start presentations immediately.

West facing windows let in plenty of natural light (especially in the afternoon) and directly across the suite are three call booths for guests to use to quickly step out and jump into small huddles or calls.

Free 1hr street parking and paid parking lots are available.

Note - King St typically does not allow parking past 3pm (during rush hour) and you can check the Green P app for allowed timings on King Street - the location code for our stretch of King Street is 4312.

There are plenty of parking lots in our neighbourhood; across the road and within a 5 minute walk from us.

You can drive into the lot and pay hourly, daily or monthly from meters near the elevator entrances in the lot itself. When you walk up to the exit at street level you’ll be directly across the road from our King Street buildings.
  2. Another open/uncovered lot is right next door: at 72 Tecumseth, which you can book a spot online for here, or drive up and use a meter to pay at.
  3. A short 4 minute walk up Niagara street from us towards Queen Street you'll also find an open/uncovered metered lot with plenty of parking at 81-95 Stanley Terrace
  4. One more covered/underground lot option is at 800 Richmond Street West
