A blast from the past
Located on the shores of beautiful Lake Ontario is the vibrant city of Toronto, Canada’s bustling financial hub famous for its impressive skyline and historic neighbourhoods. Within this city you can find a few hotels that have maintained their original historic elements including the imposing Fairmont Royal York placed near the inner harbour. This opulent hotel has world-class facilities and award-wining dining venues including the refined Library Bar, reminiscent of a bygone era.
Nestled along the banks of Humber River in Etobicoke is the Old Mill Toronto, a Tudor-style Heritage-listed hotel offering elegant guest rooms with Jacuzzi tubs, an ambient jazz bar featuring live performances, and the famous Old Mill dining room and alfresco patio.
Rooftop views of the city
A few high-end hotels in downtown Toronto boast spectacular rooftop terraces, lounges and restaurants that are guaranteed to offer you divine vantage points of the glittering cityscape. Perhaps the most iconic is the luxe Thompson Toronto, presenting a rooftop lounge and an infinity pool encircled by plush cabanas that feature 360-degree views of the city skyline and Lake Ontario.
Standing within easy reach of the CN Tower is the award-winning Trump Hotel Toronto, home to the sophisticated STOCK Restaurant and open-air ‘skypatio’ located on the 31st floor. The Park Hyatt Toronto also features a heated rooftop lounge on the 18th floor, offering the perfect spot to sip a classic whiskey cocktail while overlooking the incredible city.
Quirky and boutique
Charming boutique properties are dotted throughout the city’s many diverse neighbourhoods. However, if you’re searching for a hotel with a twist, look no further than the fashionable West Queen West district. Standing in the city’s creative heart is The Drake Hotel, offering a range of individually-styled Crash Pads, Salons, Dens and Suites outfitted with custom furnishings, funky artwork and a signature handmade doll.
Just down the road is the Gladstone Hotel, housed within a historic Victorian-style building. The hotel frequently hosts exhibitions and cultural programs, and also features a trendy resto-lounge, and a collection of unique artist-designed guest rooms and suites.
