The historic building was originally designed by local architect George Martell Miller in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, and it is one of the oldest hotel buildings still operating as a hotel in Toronto. It was built in 1889 and named for Gladstone Avenue, which is beside the hotel. In June 1973, the City of Toronto assigned a Part IV historical designation to the property.
