Getting here · map and routes
The hotel stands on Dance Smartly Boulevard inside the resort grounds off Rexdale Boulevard, in north Etobicoke. Each route below opens a real Google Maps route ending at the hotel's own map card, so you can check live traffic or transit times before you leave.
Free hotel shuttle from the arrivals level, Post F3, between 6 AM and 12 PM and between 3 PM and 9 PM; book a time on 437-428-6329. Outside those hours, take a taxi or ride-share from the terminal's ground-transportation area.
Same free shuttle; Terminal 3 pick-ups are at Gate B, column 13, or Gate G, column 41. The hotel gives guests priority on the bus, which holds up to 14 people.
There is no direct train to the resort. One option is the UP Express to Pearson (28 minutes, every 15 minutes) and then the hotel shuttle in its service hours. Google Maps will also suggest TTC combinations.
The TTC's 37A Islington bus runs between Islington Station and the Humber College Bus Terminal and, in the TTC's words, “through the Woodbine Racetrack Loop”. Line 6 Finch West ends at Humber College station.

About 5.9 km by road on our measurement — the obvious base if you are working a show on Dixon Road.
Google Maps' card for the hotel is titled “Hotel at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto”. Save it to your phone before you fly.
The operator's wayfinding notes describe the site from west to east along Dance Smartly Boulevard: outdoor parking, The Theatre, a restaurant complex and the parkade. The Expansion Casino sits behind the restaurant complex and is attached to the parkade; the hotel is just south of the Expansion Casino. The Grandstand Casino — the former Casino Woodbine — is at the south-west of the property, and the racetrack is at the southern edge.
Self-parking is free in a 3,800-space covered garage with 24-hour camera coverage. Valet runs 24/7 at about $20 from Monday to Thursday and about $30 from Friday to Sunday, with the weekend rate also charged on show nights and holidays; valet takes credit or debit only. More on parking and fees.
The resort has been operating through a labour dispute with its security officers since July 2026. Its update of 2 October 2026 says vehicles are admitted through the picket line “at least every three minutes”, that wait times may vary with traffic, and asks drivers to check the entrance map before setting off. The hotel, casino and restaurants operate as usual. If you are driving from Pearson to make a check-in or from the hotel to make a flight, build in a margin.
The embedded map below is served by Google Maps and shows the hotel's own place card. Loading it sends your IP address to Google, as our privacy notice explains.
The hotel does not publish a taxi fare or a ride time from the airport, only that it is “just minutes from Toronto Pearson Airport”. Our own routing measurement puts the hotel about 6.6 km by road from the Terminal 1 ground-transportation area. Time depends on traffic and, this autumn, on the entrance queue. Ask your driver for the hotel entrance on Dance Smartly Boulevard rather than the casino doors.
The operator also runs a Casino Shuttle from three pick-up points in the GTA — near Langstaff GO on Red Maple Road, at Bishop Avenue and Yonge Street, and at Jane Street and Wilson Avenue. It is a reserved service for adults: passengers must be 19 or older with photo ID, seats must be booked from 48 hours ahead until 8 PM the night before, and there is a $10 cash return fare. It is not an airport bus and it does not take group bookings.
* Road distances are our own measurement on OpenStreetMap data (OSRM, 29 October 2026), from the resort's map position. They are not travel times.
