The Broadview Hotel - stylish lodging in Toronto with a colourful past

In 1907, Dingman Hall was sold to T.J. Edwards, who turned it into The New Broadview Hotel, renting rooms for $1.50 a night. Over the years, The Broadview Hotel changed many hands and names. During the 30s it was called Lincoln Hotel. By the 40s it had assumed its original name, and by the 70s, it had become a boarding house with a strip club housed on the ground floor. This was Jilly’s, a strip club which served as the east end’s most notorious landmark for almost three decades. Stories and myths abound, including one starring a live tiger that shared centre stage with one of the dancers.

Over time, the east end’s gritty, working-class roots have given way to gourmet food shops, restaurants, and stylish boutiques. In May 2014, Streetcar Developments purchased the hotel and the rest, as they say, is history.
