The Carlu

Came here for the Toronto Machine Learning Society Summit 2019 (TMLS) Very functional venue with lots of space. Location is pleasantly accessible by the College streetcar at Yonge.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much space they were able to put in this building... The Carlu is a spacious, stylish venue with catering and staging abilities. Everything was clean and staff was lovely.

Its a nice place. Good for different kind of events. Food is good and services are good too.

Very opulent and we'll appointed decor. Quite elegant. The food quality was excellent and the service quite professionally managed. The reason for the four rather than five star rating, was the crowd flow and bathroom location. Difficult to navigate hall outside the ballroom. Coat check was a little slow in and out. The bathroom is somewhat difficult to find. And not that the Carlu is responsible for this but if you're a die hard driver of your own vehicle, (as a commuter from the burbs) parking is brutal. Being right on Bay and College at College Park, public transportation is the most convenient to access this venue. We were there for a charitable event. Gilda's House, and that is one awesome organization. Offering support to people and their family's going through cancer. Heard heart wrenching testimony of a young lady who had endured and survived a life threatening brain cancer and has recovered, met the man of her dreams and recently become pregnant, much to the surprise and against unbelievable odds of her doing so. Great organization, great food and pretty darn good venue.

The banquet hall on the 7th floor of the Carlu building is gorgeous. Attended a fundraiser here and the hall, rooms, food, and service was incredible. Washrooms are a bit dated though. Parking is very tricky which is why valet parking is a must if you are booking this venue for an event. It makes for a super upscale and fancy night out.
