Fairmont Royal York
Perhaps the only thing higher than the standard of luxury that the Fairmont Royal York holds itself to is the top of Toronto's CN Tower, the tallest tower in North America. Located right at the epicenter of Toronto, the Fairmont Royal York is the only place to stay if you want to truly immerse yourself in Canada's largest metropolis.
This landmark hotel, which has been around since 1927, was once the tallest building in the British Commmonwealth. Though it no longer holds that title, many of the elements of that bygone era are still present at the hotel today, like crystal chandaliers, magnificent hand-painted ceilings, and travertine pillars. But its not all old-fashioned grandeur: Recent rennovations have added tempting features like a beautiful skylit pool, state of the art health and fitness center, and the world's first American Express Travel Service Centre. The elegantly appointed accomodations are the perfect place to lay down and relax after spending the day in bustling downtown Toronto.
Ride the world's highest glass-floored elevator at the CN Tower, or simply take in the breathtaking view of Toronto and its surrounding areas from the observation decks. Watch the Maple Leafs, one of the original six NHL teams, take on the competition at the Air Canada Center. Sports fans may also want to see the Blue Jays or the Raptors, both of which call Toronto home. If you like plays on stage better than plays on the field, you're also in luck, because Toronto's officially designated Entertainment District is just blocks from the hotel and boasts several of the most prominent theatres in the region, like the Princess of Wales Theatre and The Royal Alexandra Theatre. Ice skating, both indoors and outdoors, is another popular activity in Toronto. Add top notch shopping, concerts at the Molson Ampitheatre, a complex of cool nightclubs, and an array of museums into the mix, and you'll begin to realize what a lively place Toronto is. Did we mention that the natural wonder of Niagra Falls is only an hour and a half away?
Excellent dining rounds out the Fairmont Royal York experience. Watch highly skilled chefs present and prepare entrees on a hibachi grill on your table at the Benihana Japanese Steakhouse, or sample some of Canada's fresh salmon and delicious lobster at Piper's Gastropub. Have a beer with the locals at commuter hotspot York Station, or slowly enjoy a cocktail amidst book-lined walls and comfortable sofas of The Library Bar. Another interesting choice is EPIC, where hand nurtured herbs from the rooftop garden, 15 stories above Front Street, brighten each dish. Those with a sweet tooth will enjoy the deserts flavored with hand-harvested rooftop honey, while sea savvy diners will appreciate the fact that as a certified Ocean Wise Restaurant, EPIC's fish and shellfish choices contribute to sustainable oceans for generations to come. And of course, the restaurants feature top Ontario wines alongside favorites from around the world. All you need after that is a trip to the tranquil Elizabethan Milan Day Spa, and your Fairmont Royal York experience is complete.
