Grand Staircase
The Grand Staircase, leading from the lobby to the Grand Banking Hall, is number one on this list. The combination of the glowing, vibrant chandeliers, the gold railing, and marble architecture is what Instagram dreams are made of. This area of the hotel has been a favourite for couples taking photos on their wedding day and creating that perfect ‘first look’ shot, as well as passerby’s who become mesmerized by its beauty. As the Grand Staircase has been a part of the hotel since 1914, the historical landscape makes for an incredible photo suitable for anyone’s Instagram.

Vault
The historic Vault has been a part of One King West Hotel & Residence since 1914 when the building became the Dominion Bank. Since the hotel’s opening in 2006, the Vault went from being the most secure bank vault in North America to an event venue and of course, location for photo shoots. It’s an iconic spot for couples to shoot their wedding photos, as well as for guests to get that comical, “Help me! I’m locked in the Vault!” post. Just take a look at these awesome shots:
