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.

Great hotel and a great location. The hotel was part of a Via Rail package we took from Toronto to Vancouver. Great location across from the train station and tons of restaurants and shopping all around. Outstanding room and service you would expect from a Fairmont Hotel. Would stay again.

We stayed for 3 nights, very good location but not recommended if you need to use a stroller or a handicap chair. Due to renovations (until fall 2026), every time you want to enter or leave the hotel, you need to call a manager to send someone with special access to escort you through multiple floors and doors to use a special elevator. Imagine wasting 30 minutes every leave or entrance. Also we requested a fridge to the room (extra cost), and they provided us with one that had the temperature control knob busted which froze our food. We had to ask them multiple times to replace it, by the time they did (48 hours) the food was spoiled (baby couldn’t have special milk or food we brought with us). Read less
