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.

Image of the Tripadvisor rating Sprawling hotel

Sep 27, 2026 CanberraJenny Kingston, Australia

This is a huge hotel in a convenient location opposite the railway station. No explanation was given at check in about how to navigate the hotel, which lifts went to which parts of the hotel, which entrances were open due to renovations. We had a huge suite but the bathroom was tiny and in need of updating.

I reviewed a Fairmont at less than 5 several years ago. Instead of a cut and paste "sorry about that, we hope you will let us try" the Fairmont chain took corrective steps. I had to chance to verify that at this stay. As you would expect from a premium hotel the experience was all 5. Concierge helped book tickets to a concert and used knowledge of the local venue to suggest seats. Check in walked us to the elevators, which are different, and got us on our way to the room. This may seem like over-doing it, but the York has a unique elevator system that is so much more efficient and secure than anything I have seen. And they have a complimentary morning newspaper, a real luxury in this day of screens. I little thing, but no other hotel stayed in during a 27 day trip even knew where I could buy a newspaper. All little things. All you pay for. But you don't always, or even often, get. Read less

Well located. Beautiful lobby. Rooms are fine for a work trip. A special shoutout to Cristina in housekeeping as my room was always spotless and thoughtfully made up.

Today Anastasia Perepelytsia saved the day! Fast, professional and kind. I forgot an item of value at the Fairmount hotel, and she not only found it but made it seamless.
