“This five-star, luxury hotel is located on the waterfront in downtown Toronto. Interiors are inspired by the city's glamorous film and theatre scene; suites feel opulent with marble bathrooms, thick bathrobes and framed, monochrome prints. Don't miss the unique cheese cave at hotel restaurant TOCA.”

Hotel review

Toronto is fast becoming one of the most exciting metropolises in Canada; home to a diverse and fast-growing performing arts scene and bustling business district, there are lots of reasons to visit the cosmopolitan capital of Ontario. For a stay that privileges the finer things, look no further than the Ritz-Carlton Toronto, an ode to the city's contemporary and vibrant feel.

The hotel is nestled on the waterfront on Lake Ontario, an unbeatable location for exploring the city - with privileged access to the best convention centres, concert halls and tourist attractions. Entering through the plush lobby, guests can take advantage of a free upgrade upon check in, depending on availability. Rich, blue carpets and glittering chandeliers make entering this hotel feel like a truly VIP experience, a feeling bolstered by the attentive, professional service of hotel staff.

Rooms and suites are, unsurprisingly, extremely comfortable, with lots of thoughtful touches - from fluffy towelling robes to a twice-daily turndown service. The handcrafted, Italian, 400 thread count Frette bed linen will have you struggling to get up in the mornings, although entering the marble bathroom to start your day will quickly make up for it. The hotel buffet breakfast leaves no stone unturned for guests, with lots of gluten and lactose-free options. Don't miss Spa MyBlend by Clarins, the hotel's sleek city spa with lift access.

Eating and drinking options range from the contemporary, Italian fare at TOCA - home to Canada’s only hotel-based cheese cave - to nitrogen cocktails and the world’s rarest coffee at Ritz Bar. Afternoon tea at is also an event not to be missed; in summer 2020 the beautiful outdoor terrace will reopen, the perfect spot to while away an afternoon in comfort and style. In all, the Ritz-Carlton Toronto makes for a chic bolt-hole which ticks all the right boxes for a city break.
