10 Best Luxury Hotels in Toronto
Where the City Feels Like It Was Made for You

If you're only staying in Toronto once in your life, the guest scores tell you where to go — Four Seasons Toronto holds a 9.2/10 from over 1,800 Booking.com reviews, and that consistency across every category is not an accident. Sitting in the heart of Yorkville, Toronto's most affluent neighborhood, the hotel delivers from every angle: rooms start at a genuinely spacious 300 sq ft, the 28,000 sq ft Spa has an indoor pool and a full treatment menu, and Café Boulud — Daniel Boulud's Toronto outpost — is one of the best dining rooms in the city. Guests routinely mention a Concierge team that can arrange anything from in-room floral arrangements to same-day Michelin tables.

On Bay Street, where billion-dollar deals close every morning, The St. Regis Toronto is the choice of global executives and luxury travelers who want both address and service in the same package — a 9.0/10 from over 1,100 Booking reviews confirms the delivery. The St. Regis signature Butler Service means every room has a dedicated butler who handles everything from unpacking luggage to pressing suits before a meeting. Upper-floor rooms frame the CN Tower against Lake Ontario at dusk. Astor Bar at the lobby has won awards for its signature cocktail program consistently — it's a destination drink worth building an evening around.

Fifteen minutes by TTC to BMO Field, top restaurants within walking distance in every direction — the Ritz-Carlton Toronto is the most balanced pick in this guide, and over 2,200 Booking reviews at 9.1/10 confirm that balance is real. The 22nd-floor indoor pool overlooks Lake Ontario. TOCA Restaurant rotates a seasonal menu around Ontario farm produce. The Spa draws consistent praise from guests as the best in the Entertainment District. And the location puts TIFF Bell Lightbox, Rogers Centre, and Scotiabank Arena all within walking distance — everything Toronto does for entertainment, right outside the door.

Park Hyatt Toronto reopened in 2021 after a five-year closure for full renovation, and the result was one of the best hotel openings Toronto had seen in a decade — a 1936 Heritage building transformed into a property that layers Art Deco bones with genuinely modern luxury. The Writers' Room on the 17th floor has become one of the most sought-after rooftop bars in the city, with clean views of the CN Tower skyline. Stillwater Spa runs the full ESPA product line alongside an indoor pool and hot tub. Guests who've stayed at both Four Seasons and Park Hyatt often describe Park Hyatt's atmosphere as "cooler" — a Chic-Luxury feel rather than the Classic-Luxury of its neighbor.

Think of the Shangri-La standard you may know from Singapore or Hong Kong — Shangri-La Toronto brings the same benchmark to University Avenue, midway through Downtown, and the 202 rooms start at a generous 420 sq ft, noticeably larger than competitors in the same neighborhood. Bosk Restaurant serves a Canadian tasting menu built around Ontario seasonal produce and consistently ranks among the most discussed dining rooms in Toronto food media. But the standout feature is Miraj Hammam Spa — a Turkish bath experience with a heated marble slab and steam chambers that exists nowhere else in Toronto. A 9.0/10 quality of experience consistently confirmed by 1,200+ Booking reviews.

Every September during TIFF — the Toronto International Film Festival — The Hazelton is where directors, actors, and industry insiders want to stay, and a 9.0/10 Booking score from a boutique of just 77 rooms tells you something real about intentionality. Every room was designed by Studio Munge (one of Toronto's leading design studios) with 10-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel sits on Yorkville Ave, one block from Hermès and Chanel. One Restaurant delivers Contemporary Canadian cuisine that earns consistent critical praise. The 30-seat private Screening Room is an amenity no other hotel in this guide offers.

The largest hotel in Canada when it opened in 1929, and 95+ years later still commanding the block above Union Station with 6,400 Booking reviews to prove it — Fairmont Royal York is Toronto's anchor hotel, a property that has absorbed the city's most important events for nearly a century. The Union Station connection makes it the easiest hotel in this guide for transit: UP Express to Pearson Airport in 25 minutes, TTC to every neighborhood in the city, GO Train for day trips. The Gothic châteauesque architecture is legendary. EPIC Restaurant faces Front Street with appropriate grandeur. The Gold Floor delivers Executive Lounge access — breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails included.

If your idea of a great hotel room means beautiful and responsible at the same time, 1 Hotel Toronto answers that question more completely than any other property in this guide. The 10th-floor rooftop pool with panoramic Lake Ontario views has become the most-photographed hotel amenity in Toronto. The 1 Hotels brand runs biophilic design throughout — reclaimed wood, natural stone, organic fiber — not as a marketing line but as a literal material specification. Bamford Haybarn Spa uses organic UK products. Harriet Restaurant's plant-forward menu has attracted Toronto's health-conscious fine dining crowd consistently since opening.

Kimpton is one of the boutique hotel brands with the highest guest return rates in the world, and Kimpton Saint George earns that loyalty in The Annex — Toronto's most-loved neighborhood for its Intellectual and creative energy, sitting next to the University of Toronto, the Royal Ontario Museum, and OCAD University. The 195 rooms were designed by Munge Design (the same studio behind Park Hyatt). Quetzal Bar serves natural wines and Mexican-inspired cocktails that have earned a local following. And the Kimpton standard of a complimentary Social Hour (5–6 pm daily in the lobby) is a genuine perk that no chain hotel in this guide matches.

Sometimes the best hotel isn't the most expensive one — The Anndore House at Bloor and Yonge sits above the intersection of Toronto's two subway lines (Lines 1 and 2), giving it the best transit reach of any hotel in this guide, at the lowest starting price of CAD 350. The Retro-Chic design takes its cues from the Rock 'n' Roll energy that once defined this stretch of Yonge Street in the 1970s. Constantine Bar at the lobby serves artisan cocktails and local craft beers well into the night. A seasonal rooftop runs through summer. Guests who've tried both the Anndore and larger luxury hotels in the city regularly call it the best value in Toronto luxury — and the transit convenience is genuinely hard to match.
