The hotel

One of Toronto’s landmark hotels, Fairmont Royal York was built by Canadian Pacific Railway in 1929 and has since welcomed dignitaries and royalty, including Queen Elizabeth II. Once the tallest building in the British Empire, the hotel is housed in a distinctive chateau-style high-rise building and offers a wealth of amenities to keep you busy in-between sightseeing. The fitness centre is almost a world of its own with lap pool, children’s wading pool, steam rooms, saunas and a state-of-the-art gym. Two levels of shops are enough to satisfy the most ardent of shoppers with more shops located directly underneath the hotel in the PATH complex. Several exceptional restaurants cater to every kind of culinary desire. For mouth-watering steaks, look no further than Benihana Japanese Steakhouse and for the best martinis in town, head to the Library Bar with its rich furnishings and elegant atmosphere. Not to be missed is the afternoon tea and Rooftop Garden Tour, held every Saturday and Sunday.

Toronto history comfort at its best. The hotel is a step back in time with its beautiful entrance, beautiful service and excellent dining. If you want to experience the best hotel close to attractions in downtown Toronto be sure and choose the Fairmont. We arrived at Union station from the airport train, which is fantastic, and simple walked across the street to the historic and beautiful and welcoming Fairmont Hotel. Our room even had windows that open to let in fresh air! We asked for a quiet room and were given whatever we needed with excellent room service. I would stay here again to access all the attractions in Toronto. Read less

The service in the Fairmont hotel is so outstanding. We have traveled the world and we have never had such wonderful service . Our room attendant. Genesis was fabulous as was everyone else. We had a problem with an inadvertent payment in a hotel restaurant, and it was beautifully rectified by the staff. This hotel is a clear winner!

We had a great time staying in the hotel. And the room was so clean and well organized because of R.A. Anne. She was so kind and approachable. She made it sure that the room was thoroughly clean and the bed and bed sheets are really organized. She fully replenished the things that needed to be replenished and she went out of her way to satisfy our needs. And also the lady front desk was so kind and helpful i forgot her name but we really appreciate them. Highly recommended. Read less
