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.

Room was nicely cleaned and organized. Created organization with my razor, cologne, etc in the bathroom. It was an appreciated gesture.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this hotel on Saturday, July 11. We live in Oakville and were in town to watch a show. We arrived slightly earlier due to the GO train schedule, and we were accommodated with no issue. The Fairmont Gold King Suite is a beautiful room. What a difference six years had made regarding this hotel! It was much more up to date than before. The room is now modern, and the A/C was just right. I love the side-sleeper neck pillow I asked for. I appreciated the clean electric kettle, the separate toilet area, the double vanity, and the separate shower stall. The amenities were sufficient, and the lotion actually moisturized my skin! Someone stopped by to ask if there was anything we needed. We were very impressed. Other services were on point. The complimentary breakfast was good, with plenty of options. The Egg Benedict went out, though. My husband shared his with me, so at least I got to try it. The egg was cooked just the way I liked it. I would have enjoyed my breakfast more if they provided sodium-reduced bacon, automatic drip coffee, and lactose-free creamer. Drawers should be labelled. Milk, extra cutlery, etc were stored inside drawers. In my culture, it is impolite to open your host's drawers. If the drawers were labelled, then I knew it was OK to open them. Overall, it was a lovely stay. Next time, I will stay the whole weekend and try the on-site restaurant. For the Fairmont Gold room, check-in is on the 18th floor. Read less

Six-Star Service Still Exists I'm 57 years old and have been traveling for business for thirty years. Somewhere along the way, I made peace with the idea that the luxurious days of travel were behind us, that hotels had become factories and guests had become irritants to be processed as efficiently as possible. Today, the Royal York proved me wrong. I had the finest check-in experience of my life, courtesy of a young man named Will. Nothing contrived, nothing over the top. Just a single, beautiful interaction that made this weary traveler feel seen, valued, and dare I say, appreciated. For a moment, I remembered what six-star service feels like. I've been here less than seven hours, and every experience so far has made stays where I paid double, in cities around the world, pale in comparison. My suite is beautifully appointed, the view is wonderful, and the people are what make it all sing. The Royal York has got it right. Read less

The Fairmont Royal York was absolutely beautiful and worth every penny. All spaces were clean and well kept. It was quiet and peaceful throughout our stay even though the hotel was busy. It is a very friendly hotel. The atmosphere appeared open and inviting for all. The service was top notch. The room was amazing. We had more than we needed in the room. Pillows, blankets, lots of towels, bathrooms and slippers were all available in the room. The amenities were more than expected and loved the Le Labo soap, shampoo, and conditioner. They even provide body lotion and mouth wash. Nespresso machine in the room with a good selection of coffee pods as well as amazing tea. Their staff was extremely helpful as well. We took advantage of the pool and hot tub, where even more towels were provided by a wonderful staff member. The hotel is close to Union Station where we arrived by Via Rail. There is an entrance in the Path so we did not have to cross a busy street to get to the hotel. It is close to the Rogers Centre, Scotiabank arena and so much more. Looking forward to our next stay.
