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.

Wonderful hotel stay! We were delighted to find a bottle of wine and chocolate-covered strawberries waiting for us—such a thoughtful touch. The staff were incredibly friendly throughout our visit. The valet was especially impressive, with excellent knowledge of the surrounding area—truly a great ambassador for the hotel. Natalia at the front desk was fantastic and made us feel very welcome. Great rooms and view of the Tower. A special thank you to one of the managers, Mr. Noorullah, who surprised us with chocolate-covered strawberries and wine after learning we were celebrating a birthday. What a lovely and memorable gesture! Read less
