The Imperial Toronto, timeless elegance meets modern luxury

Within the historic confines of a decommissioned gothic-style church dating back to 1912, The Imperial is conveniently located at the intersection of St. Clair West and Avenue Road creating a new landmark event venue and destination in Toronto’s prestigious Forest Hill neighbourhood.

Designed by Lux Interiors with over 14,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor spaces, The Imperial caters to gatherings of all sizes, from intimate dinners to grand celebrations. Boasting six unique gathering spaces, each with its own distinct ambiance, The Imperial offers endless possibilities for events, accommodating up to 450 seated guests and 600+ in a cocktail-style setting.

The Imperial Toronto will feature the following unique spaces:

The Lobby: A grand entrance leading to an adjoining space, setting the stage for unforgettable events.

At the heart of The Imperial Toronto lies its multi-space kitchen and restaurant, led by a team of expert chefs who curate a unique culinary experience inspired by the flavours of Italy. Catering to the venue’s event spaces and with a Bistro open daily to the public, The Imperial’s menu features a range of classic favourites and innovative creations, each dish crafted with the finest ingredients.

As part of its unique, full-service offering, The Imperial Toronto will also offer a number of curated experiences centered around events, hospitality and culinary adventures.
