About Sankofa Square

Sankofa Square is a public attraction in downtown Toronto, known for the bright billboards, video screens and open plaza that made it the city's version of Dundas Square. Visitors come for concerts, promotions, street performances and people-watching, and the square sits at the busy crossing of Yonge and Dundas, surrounded by shops, cinemas and restaurants. The square is a natural starting point for exploring downtown Toronto, whether you are interested in art, food or history. Public transportation is extensive, with the TTC's subway, streetcars and buses, and the PATH underground pedestrian network connects many downtown buildings, so you can move through the core without going outside.

Tips for staying near Sankofa Square

  • The square hosts outdoor festivals and events in the summer months of June to August, so downtown Toronto hotels fill early for those dates; book well ahead if your visit coincides with one.
  • For a quieter stay, spring and autumn bring milder temperatures and fewer crowds to the square and the surrounding blocks, while winter can be cold, with temperatures often below freezing.
  • Parking is limited in the core and traffic can be heavy, so guests at Bond Place Hotel, Chelsea Hotel Toronto or Pelican at the Pantages may prefer to leave the car and use the TTC, streetcars and buses.
  • Fares on the TTC are paid with a PRESTO card or contactless payment, which is useful for guests staying a few blocks from Sankofa Square and planning to explore beyond downtown.
  • If you want the shortest possible walk to the square, choose a hotel within 200 m such as Bond Place Hotel, Pantages Hotel Downtown Toronto or Pelican at the Pantages, and confirm a room with air conditioning in summer.
