Experience Worldly Glamour in Downtown Toronto at The Carlu
Initially opened in 1930 as “Eaton’s Seventh Floor,” French architect Jacques Carlu designed the Carlu. Now recognized as one of Toronto’s best examples of Art Moderne architecture, The Carlu has been designated as a National Historic Site of Canada and has played host to royalty on several occasions. As the preferred space for high profile social fetes, conventions, and corporate celebrations. In 2003, the space at 444 Yonge St. in College Park reopened as “The Carlu” event venue after an extensive restoration.
