Other Accommodations
Toronto is home to a large range of upscale and budget options if you would like to book your own accommodation. If you choose to book the hotel farther away from Westin, please note that Toronto is now the fourth largest municipality in North America, so getting around can take time. Prior to booking, we encourage you to check the distance, transportation options, and transit times to the conference venue, especially during weekends when public transit service lines and hours are reduced.
