| Toronto is a city to be savoured — a pleasing palette of experiences that create a luxury travel holiday for all seasons.
The finest Toronto luxury hotels and boutique hotels have learned to ensure the comfort of their guests while offering an ambience of refinement, whether traditional or contemporary. The oldest of Toronto luxury hotels, Le Royal Méridien King Edward, has entertained everyone from Mark Twain to The Beatles, while the elegant Four Seasons Toronto continues to attract its share of celebrities. Another of Toronto’s luxury hotels, the InterContinental Yorkville, features marble bathrooms and bay windows in one of Toronto’s most fashionable neighbourhoods. Choice Toronto hotels also include the Park Hyatt and the SoHo Metropolitan.
More than one Toronto luxury hotel offers convenient access to Toronto’s most exclusive upscale shopping destinations, such as “Mink Mile” and Hazelton Lanes, home to the only Rolls-Royce dealership in Toronto. The city’s most popular shopping destination is Toronto Eaton Centre, which brings a million visitors to downtown Toronto every week.
A little R&R — relaxation and rejuvenation — can enhance any Toronto luxury travel holiday or business trip. Tired travelers can relax at Le Royal Méridien King Edward’s Nouvelle Maria Spa and Salon, the Park Hyatt’s Stillwater Spa, Novo Spa or Elmwood Spa. For a refreshing workout, there’s the health and fitness centre at the SoHo Met.
In a cosmopolitan city where 7,000 Toronto restaurants prepare a remarkable range of international cuisine, one of the most pleasurable indulgences is its wining and fine dining. Wine enthusiasts and gourmet food-lovers will appreciate Toronto’s annual wine and culinary festival, Santé: Toronto International Wine Festival, held each spring.
Two of Toronto’s greatest cultural treasures are the Royal Ontario Museum, designed by noted architect Daniel Libeskind, and the Art Gallery of Ontario, redesigned by Frank Gehry. Other architectural highlights include Toronto’s historic Distillery District, which preserves Victorian industrial buildings. The Toronto Symphony, the National Ballet, the Canadian Opera Company and the Second City comedy troupe are several of the performing arts organizations that call Toronto home.
