In the Vault

Really – you can have your meeting or event *inside* a real bank vault.

The repurposed space is a remnant of the building's former life as the head office of Canada's first bank. One King West - the hotel, which opened in 2006 - has retained its original circular door (four feet thick and weighing 40 tonnes) making The Vault a unique meeting venue and popular topic of conversation. One King West is currently using it as a temporary restaurant while renovations continue to its lobby – expanding Henri’s Bar, adding an internet lounge, and reconfiguring the area where the breakfast buffet is normally staged.

One of the hotel's other prime meeting spaces is the Banking Hall, with ornate two-storey high ceilings and purportedly the "longest bar in North America", modelled after the original tellers' counter.

One King West specializes in extended stays, offering both kitchen and laundry facilities in each of its modern suites, but is equally suited for shorter stays and medium-sized corporate meetings & events.
