Overview

Palais Royale is a banquet hall located on the shores of Lake Ontario just steps from Sunnyside Pavilion. Originally built as a boat works, it became notable as a night club in the now-defunct Sunnyside Amusement Park, hosting many prominent 'big band' jazz bands. Since the Park's demolition, the building is now used to host luxury weddings and high-end events.
