Casa Loma, Toronto

It is a such a pity that Casa Loma is seldom suggested as a tourist destination for any of our guests. The place is a beauty to behold, constructed as a neo-romantic castle with 98 rooms and costing $3.5 million to complete in 1911 - it is a dream home.

Due to its unique architectural character in Toronto, Casa Loma has been a popular location for movies and TV. It has served as a location for movies such as X-Men, Strange Brew, Chicago, The Tuxedo, and The Pacifier. It was also temporarily transformed into "Hogwarts" for the release of the 7th Harry Potter book.
