I heard on the radio this morning that Jessica Alba was found partying at The Drake and shopping on Queen West over the weekend.

Generally, the celebs stay in the Yorkville area though.

CityNews.ca Staff
One of the great things about the Toronto International Film Festival is that if you're in the right neighbourhood you're almost guaranteed to see at least one big star over the 10 day event. Whether shopping at a posh Bloor St. West boutique, sipping drinks on the patio at Hemingway's or simply picking up a morning java the celebrities will be here for the spotting. There's no guarantee of course, but to assist you we've compiled a list of common celeb haunts during the film fest.

When the stars come to town many of them flock to this posh Yorkville hotel, where the high-end suites reportedly cost between $1,700 and more than $4,000 a night. Guests can dine at the renowned Truffles Restaurant, or have a casual cocktail in the Lobby Bar or chic Avenue Lounge.

Soho Metropolitan
