From September 10 to 19th, all eyes will be on the big screen (and big-time celebs) at the 34th annual Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where more than 300 films will be presented. Thanks to our little bro, Jaunted, we already know that this year's roster includes "Whip It," Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, "Up in the Air," starring George Clooney, and a smaller film called "Precious" which is backed by Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry, both of whom are expected to show.

Now, what would a film festival be without a hotel package to go along with it? A wasted opportunity which is why the The Fairmont Royal York has introduced its “TIFF and the City” package.

It’s a bit steep for our budget, but comes with a lot of cool freebies if you can swing it. Filmgoers get one night’s accommodation in a Fairmont Gold Room, breakfast, evening hors d’oeuvres, two complimentary film passes, a TIFF swag bag, two martinis in the Library Bar, CN Tower passes, a 2009 Official Film Schedule and an On-Command in-room movie.

The one night package rate begins at $389 CAD and is valid September 13-19, 2009. There’s one small catch – the package must be booked by Monday, August 31st by calling 1 (800) 441-1414 or visiting here. So if you’re interested, hop on it. Stat.

If you're wary of hotel packages, the hotel has a moderate queen room available for $359 a night which isn't that much cheaper. If you're heading to Toronto for TIFF, you might as well book this package and keep the film festival feeling going while you're back at the hotel.

Normally, we'd send cinema lovers on a tight budget to Hôtel Le Germain instead. Smack dab in the heart of Toronto’s Entertainment District (read: nightlife central), it’s a great home base for Film Festival festivities with rooms starting at a more affordable $189.00. However, the hotel is entirely sold-out from September 13-16.
