Chestnut Residence

Originally opening in 1972 as the “Holiday Inn Downtown” hotel, the building was purchased by the University of Toronto in 2003 and converted into a student residence with over 700 rooms.

Throughout the academic year (September – April) the building is home to University of Toronto students, and in the summer months (May – August), the building offers summer accommodations to the general public, students and travellers from all over the world!
