The Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex appeared in season 3 when Luther and Sloane had an impromptu wedding at the fictional Hotel Obsidian.

Recently, the cast of The Umbrella Academy participated in a cheeky ‘Q&Eh’ featurette to spill what they love about working in Canada.

“No matter what time of year, depending on whether it’s deep snow or middle of summer, it’s just beautiful,” Tom Hopper said. “There’s so much activity going on.”

They also shared some of their fave restaurants in the Six.

“I like Pai, the Thai restaurant. So good, so, so good,” Justin H. Min shared, adding that Torontonians are “some of the nicest people” he’s ever met.

Showrunner Steve Blackman shared he’s a fan of Little Italy. “What I love about Toronto is just how diverse it is. Block to block, you can find so many different things,” he said.

The movie Work It is also included in “Netflix In Your Neighbourhood.” The 2020 dance-comedy was shot around Etobicoke, Thornhill, Mississauga and Toronto — specifically the Junction, Distillery District, Underpass Park and Celebration Square.

Humber College stands in for Woodbright High School, attended by Sabrina Carpenter and Liza Koshy’s characters. The duo’s dance competition took place in at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga, while Jake and Quinn had a serious convo at The Water Guardians.

The streamer has previously highlighted locations across British Columbia and Alberta for other shows like Maid starring Margaret Qualley.

Based on the comic book series of the same name, Netflix’s ‘The Umbrella Academy’ follows the story of a bunch of superheroes who discover that the world is going to end soon. As they try to figure out a way to avert the apocalypse, we also get a peek into their family history and several skeletons in the closet come out. The plot thickens with each episode and the show draws us in completely.

Another attractive element of the series is its look. The dark undertone against the bustle of the city, which has the doomsday clock ticking on it, keeps us wondering about the surroundings and the location of the Academy. If you’re wondering where ‘The Umbrella Academy’ has been filmed, here’s the answer.

Where is The Umbrella Academy filmed?

‘The Umbrella Academy’ follows a story that gets twisted and mysterious with every turn. The location plays an important role in the show as the characters have to run around the city, following their enemies or some clue that would lead them to save the world. However, the show never explicitly confirms the exact location of it. We don’t know where it takes place, but we do know where it has been filmed. All the scenes in the Netflix series have been filmed in and around Toronto, Canada. The neighboring cities of Hamilton and Dundas also feature heavily in the show.

The most important location in ‘The Umbrella Academy’ is the house where Hargreeve lives with the children. While its interior was filmed on a set, the exteriors were filmed at 4 King St. E. in Hamilton. The memorial scene for Hargreeves was filmed at the Tanenbaum Opera, while the bank robbery scene where teen superheroes save the day was filmed at The Canadian National Railway Station.

The location of Allan Gardens was used to film the dreamy dance sequence between Luther and Allison. The flashback scenes in the tenth episode of the first season were filmed at the Cotton Factory on 270 Sherman Ave. N. in Hamilton. The Gladstone cafe was refurbished to create Griddy’s Doughnuts. The motel where Agnes and Hazel stay after they run away together was filmed at the Rosebud, which also appears in ‘Schitt’s Creek’. The first scene of the first season, where a woman gives birth in a swimming pool, was filmed at the Wallace Emerson Community Centre on 1260 Dufferin St. in Toronto.

Is Hotel Obsidian a real place?

The real Hotel Obsidian is located in Hamilton, Canada, and goes by the name of Royal Connaught. Well, at least on the outside. The building's facade, slightly altered with VFX, made its Umbrella Academy debut in Season 3's first official trailer. Fans were quick to come up with theories about the place.
