Larry’s Hideaway/The Prince Carlton Hotel

Formerly the Prince Carlton Hotel.

Larry’s Hideaway was demolished in 1993 or so.

A review from the Toronto Guide Book of 1966 says:

“Very big, popular restaurant with five distinct dining areas, seating more than 400. One suggests Old New Orleans; another, the Whistle Stop,

entertains diners with a miniature train. Famous for huge banquet-like dinners of ten courses. Moderately expensive.”

A vintage commercial for Larry’s Hideaway by Retro Ontario can be found here.

The Wives (formerly the Battered Wives) and the Hi Fi’s who would change their sound and name to Blue Rodeo.
