The New Broadview House Hotel is a four story hotel at Broadview Avenue and Queen Street East in Toronto, Ontario.
Built in 1893, the Romanesque style hotel was built for Archibald Dingham and located in the historic neighbourhood of Riverdale.
Since at least 2004, rumours have circulated that the building will be bought and renovated to become a version of the Drake or the Gladstone, boutique hotel/bar/performance art venues on Queen St. W. So far, however, there are no signs of this actually happening.
Still operating as a hotel, the lower floor is Jilly's, a rough & tumble strip club. The operation was the scene of a barmaid stabbing in the early 1990s.

- Toronto East Chinatown
- Broadview subway station
- The Danforth - Greektown

“In a rich man’s house there is no place to spit but his face.”
—Diogenes of Sinope (c. 410–c. 320 B.C.)
“The talk shows are stuffed full of sufferers who have regained their health—congressmen who suffered through a serious spell of boozing and skirt-chasing, White House aides who were stricken cruelly with overweening ambition, movie stars and baseball players who came down with acute cases of wanting to trash hotel rooms while under the influence of recreational drugs. Most of them have found God, or at least a publisher.”
—Calvin Trillin (b. 1935)
