“When people in the future talk about the creative renaissance of Toronto. I have no doubt the common factor will be The Darling Mansion...”

Ryan Tyler Thomas

“Tanya's place offers guests an opportunity to step out of everyday life and into a world of richness, joy, and fantasy. Once-in-a-lifetime experience not to be missed."

Lance

“A delightful experience. A sensory explosion from silk kimonos to French perfume lingering in the stairway. We had a delightful 3 nights in the Opium Den. This eclectic maximalist home is dripping with artistic and sexual energy. Not for everyone, perfect for us. Perfect location in Little Portugal close to shops, food and nightlife. Evenings in the terrace overlooking street was magical. Bed was dreamy.” Rooms: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 5/5 Hotel highlights:  Great view, Romantic

“Thank you, Tanya, for the book and the stay here. What a strong counterpoint to the unreal and disembodied digital world. Of course, I love the Froot Loops and also the tender images of simple naked repose, made more poignant by seeing all the settings and props here in The Darling Mansion. I hope others will be inspired by staying here, too. ”

Andrew Clark

Guests Note

“5 stars isn't enough to rate the venue, the booking process, and the experience. The entire venue itself is a treasure to behold, along with its curator Tanya. Fantastic space to be, it truly attracts the greatest energy!”

Kristine Harding

“We stayed in the opium den. It was divine. A unique & groovy mansion, with interior plaster work lovingly maintained, With so many rockin', kinky accents your Instagram may melt from the heat. The canopy bed was romantic and very comfortable. The shower room is a very beautiful experience. ”

Captain Sugarbeard

“Tanya will perfectly curate your experience with her intelligent, artistic and thoughtful expertise. Her fabulous aesthetic, business savvy and wicked sense of humour will leave you begging for more.”

Niko Bessette Kougias

“If you want the cookie-cutter experience, go somewhere else. If you want a unique experience and are looking for quirky and true
places, this is what you want. A house I'll be talking about for years in a great neighbourhood.”

Alexander, Frankfurt

“There really are no words that would accurately describe just how awesome this house is. We took the entire place over for the night and everything about it was more than we coulda wished for. Our experience was perfect. I'm looking for excuses to stay again.”

Hayley

“We hosted a birthday party here and everyone loved the place. It has a ton of space, lots of character, and Tanya was very communicative and helpful during the booking. I would highly recommend the Darling Mansion for private parties. Thanks again, Tanya!”
