CITY FOCUS | TORONTO

Business travellers expecting a long day of meetings will be pleased to discover that Toronto boasts plenty of comfortable , well-equipped hotels , with each offering something different from the last .

We ’ ve all heard of the Four Seasons brand and Toronto is its birthplace . The 55-storey tower , situated in the neighbourhood of Yorkville , was built in 2012 to replace the original property and everything has been designed in the name of luxury . Despite its elegance , there ’ s a certain subtlety here , and guests must try the mouth-watering French cuisine paired with one of 350 wines at Cafe Boulud .

Meanwhile , the Fairmont Royal York is right in the heart of Toronto ’ s Financial District , near the iconic CN Tower and Rogers Centre . This historic hotel was built in 1929 and , despite recently undergoing a significant refurbishment , has managed to retain its endearing charm . It ’ s no surprise that members of the British Royal Family have been happy enough to stay in recent years . There ’ s even a childcare service on offer if the kids are in tow .

For the sports and fitness lovers among us , Hotel X Toronto is jam-packed with amenities and feels more like an exclusive holiday resort . You ’ ll find yourself spoiled for choice with indoor tennis courts , swimming pools and a private member ’ s fitness club . Given the hotel is also one of Canada ’ s largest event venues , it comes as no surprise that it spans no less than nine acres of waterfront land . Put it this way : you ’ re not going to get bored here .
