Cosmopolitan hotel

In this boutique hotel in the heart of the banking district, wellbeing and fashion consciousness count. But not only trendsetters will feel at home in the 95 suites and two penthouses, but also other generations of travelers who appreciate the simplicity and restraint of the hotel design.

There are only five suites per floor, and the rooms are bright and have large windows. The two-meter-high indoor fountains are an interesting detail.

The Shizen Spa wellness center combines new acupuncture methods and a holistic philosophy with classic beauty treatments. The equally elegant sister hotel The Pantages Hotel and Suites near the Eaton Center is also worth a visit.

Four Seasons Hotel Toronto

Canadian Issy Sharp founded the Four Seasons Hotels chain , and while this isn’t the original hotel, celebrities and wealthy visitors like to choose when they’re in Toronto.

The Four Seasons is located in the fashionable Yorkville district, amidst boutiques and cafes, and is famous for its comfort and service.

The corner rooms with balconies, the marble bathrooms and the family-oriented extras such as children’s bathrobes and milk and biscuits before going to bed are particularly attractive.

The (free) nightly shoe cleaning service and the one-hour express ironing service save time. In addition to the normal 24-hour business services, the hotel offers limousine service to the city center on weekdays.

Leisure facilities are also not neglected here. There is a heated swimming pool, a fitness club (with a whirlpool and sauna) and wellness treatments. The chic avenue bar and lounge and award-winning Truffles restaurant are highly regarded in Toronto.

The Sutton Place Hotel Toronto

Sutton Place is close to the city center next to the extensive grounds of the University of Toronto and Queen’s Park. The concrete and glass exterior may be a matter of taste, but once inside the building, the European-style ambience is pleasantly luxurious. Antiques and paintings add beautiful accents.

The suites are spacious and have a large desk with telephone and voicemail as well as fax and internet connection. Bathrobes and a free daily newspaper are further extras. For longer stays you can rent an apartment in the hotel.

Fairmont Royal York Hotel

When it opened in 1929, the Royal York was the tallest building in the British Empire, and it is still visible today in the silhouette of the city on Lake Ontario. The classic ambience here and there reminds of the time between the two world wars, but regular renovations have prevented it from lagging behind its many neighboring competitors. Due to its central location very close to Bay Street and Union Square, with which it is connected by a tunnel, it is still popular with business travelers, but also with tourists. Hotel facilities include a business center, a 24-hour fitness center, a wellness center and a paddling pool for children. The bar and restaurant are traditional without being stiff.
