Information about accommodation is now available and some has opened for bookings. If you are now at the stage of organising travel also please do register for the conference. While registration will be open for some time, its useful to start seeing numbers for catering and presentation space purposes.
See you in Toronto!
Accommodation in Downtown Toronto
Accommodation in downtown Toronto can be expensive, particularly over the summer months. To help with this, we have partnered with two residences and one hotel at the University of Toronto that offer rental accommodation during university holidays. Please note that this information will be updated as soon as we have access to booking links and codes for Massey College and the Kimpton St. George.
Chestnut Residence
Chestnut is located about 25 minutes’ walking distance from the University of St. Michael’s College (or 15 minutes by public transit, and 8 minutes by car). The residence offers en suite rooms with either a single double bed or two double beds. We have access to special rates for both room types: $170.00 CAD + tax (single occupancy; $20 for one extra adult per day); $192.00 + tax (double occupancy; $10 for each of two possible children per day).
Those wishing to book can click on the link here, and should enter the special booking code: LHE2025.
[To make assurances doubly sure, here is the longform link: https://hotels.cloudbeds.com/en/reservation/Qv9tew#checkin=2025-07-06&checkout=2025-07-12]
Room rates at Chestnut include breakfast at the residence’s cafeteria each morning, between 7:30am and 10:30am.
Our special rate applies for rooms booked for dates between 7 July and 13 July, inclusive. If you’re planning to enjoy downtown Toronto during your visit, the residence is close to the city’s commercial centre and is well-served by subway, streetcar, and bus lines.
Please note that the deadline for booking Chestnut Residence at our group rate is 23 May 2025. After that, Chestnut cannot guarantee either room availability or their room rates. Note that Chestnut allows free cancellation up to 48 hours before your scheduled arrival.
Massey College
Massey College offers dorm-style accommodation at a lower rate than Chestnut Residence, and much lower than traditional hotels in the downtown core. Rooms include single beds and shared washrooms (not en suite). We will be sharing booking links and information for Massey College as soon as we are able – the summer rental portal does not open until after student residents’ have provided formal notice of their summer plans. We anticipate having this information as well as a confirmation of July 2025 rates by the end of March 2025.
For planning purposes, please note that last year’s standard room rate at Massey College was $120.00 CAD + tax. Due to significant inflation over the past year, rates will be higher for 2025, but not likely by a huge amount.
Kimpton St. George
The Kimpton is a traditional hotel located about 15 minutes’ walk from the University of St. Michael’s College. In July, rooms at the Kimpton usually go for approximately $300 CAD + tax. As part of the Kimpton Global Business Program, Kimpton Saint George in Toronto offers corporate rates and other perks for business travelers.
