What is Casa Loma?
Casa Loma is one of Toronto’s most iconic and enchanting historic landmarks, a majestic castle in the heart of the city that draws visitors from around the world. Built in 1914, Casa Loma is a treasured piece of Canadian heritage and one of North America's most characteristic castles.
Once the private estate of Canadian financier Sir Henry Pellatt, Casa Loma is a symbol of ambition, architecture, and imagination. Today, it’s one of Toronto’s top tourist attractions and a sought-after venue for events, film productions, and cultural experiences.
A Landmark Steeped in History
Constructed over three years by more than 300 workers, Casa Loma was inspired by the diverse castles of Europe and brought to life with a mosaic of various architectural styles, from Medieval to Gothic Revival. With 98 rooms, secret passageways, grand staircases, and sweeping views of the city, Casa Loma captures the elegance and intrigue of a bygone era.
The estate reflects Sir Henry Pellatt’s vision and determination, a man who played a significant role in bringing hydroelectric power to Ontario. His legacy lives on through this architectural marvel that continues to fascinate visitors of all ages.
A Cultural Hub and Iconic Toronto Destination
Today, Casa Loma is more than just a historic attraction. It’s a living, breathing part of Toronto’s cultural landscape, a venue for immersive experiences, concerts, dining events, seasonal celebrations, and educational programming.
Each year, over 650,000 visitors tour Toronto’s Casa Loma and the historic estate gardens. A perfect backdrop for special occasions, Casa Loma also plays host to over 250 private functions, weddings and special events annually. The unique architecture has also made it a highly sought-after and unique location for film, television and photo shoots.
With over 500,000 square feet of hospitality space, the Liberty Entertainment Group caters to a diverse clientele of upwards of 1.75 million people per year, including A-list celebrities, sports personalities and industry leaders.
A New Chapter Led by Liberty Entertainment Group
In January 2014, the city of Toronto awarded the long-term lease of the historic Casa Loma to Liberty Entertainment Group. Liberty Entertainment Group operates Toronto’s Castle as a unique special event facility, as well as maintaining and enhancing the tourism and Toronto attractions' grand experience.
Liberty Entertainment Group’s President & CEO, Nick Di Donato, continues to prove his commitment to preserving this historic Toronto attraction, with numerous improvements already made to enhance the event and dining experience; he also plans to integrate new technology for school and even more cultural programming. Including their annual Soul, Symphony and Comedy nights.
For over three decades, the Liberty Entertainment Group has been redefining Toronto’s restaurant, nightlife and special event experience. As developers and operators of numerous landmark establishments, the Liberty Entertainment Group has become recognized as one of the most successful and innovative companies in the industry.
Liberty Entertainment Group continues to gain success and acknowledgment for developing an impressive roster of unique venues. These venues include Toronto’s premier special event facilities, Casa Loma, and Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex. Liberty Entertainment Group is also responsible for the development of Toronto’s most prolific restaurants, including BlueBlood Steakhouse, Don Alfonso 1890 and three Cibo Wine Bar locations (King West, Yonge St and Yorkville).
