Union Station, South Core and the Financial District
Le Germain Hotel Toronto Maple Leaf Square
A 167-room boutique hotel in Maple Leaf Square. The hotel says the arena is steps from your room, and Bar Le Germain has a patio at the hotel entrance.
A high-rise hotel at University Avenue and Adelaide Street, at the crossroads of the business and entertainment districts and a 6-minute walk from Queen Street West, by the hotel’s count.
Valet costs C$68, taxes included. The hotel puts Union Station a ten-minute walk south, and the arena is farther on, so plan on the TTC subway after a late game.

Ride the TTC subway to Union Station, then walk south to the arena at Bay Street and Lakeshore Boulevard West.
Getting back
Walk back to Union Station and ride the subway north. The TTC says exact last-train times vary by station.
An airport hotel directly outside Viscount station on the free Link Train to the Pearson terminals, with breakfast in the lobby and Sosta! Pizzeria on site.
Every trip to the arena means the Link Train and the UP Express, or a drive downtown. The published schedule has the last UP Express from Union at 1 a.m.
Getting to the game
Ride the Link Train to Terminal 1, then the UP Express to Union Station, 28 minutes away, and walk to the arena.
Getting back
Walk back to Union Station for the UP Express. It runs every 15 minutes, and the published schedule has the last train leaving Union at 1 a.m.
