Good value downtown |
60 York Street Toronto, ON M5J 1S8 Canada +1 416 363 3321 / +1 800 268 8304 http://www.thestrathconahotel.... |
Location is everything for this no-frills hotel that offers a comfortable alternative to the more hard-on-the-wallet downtown accommodations. It's close to Union Station, the business district, the CN Tower and SkyDome. Its rooms are modern with eye-pleasing decor. The hotel features a spacious new lobby and restaurant, the York Street Cafe. Although there's no fitness club on-site, guests can use the Wellington Fitness Club next door. Review © 2007, Wcities |

In the grand European style |
955 Bay Street Toronto, ON M5S 2A2 Canada +1 416 924 9221 / +1 866 378 8866 http://www.suttonplace.com/Tor... |
Built in 1967 and renovated in 1998, this 33-floor hotel has been one of the city's most luxurious places to stay for more than 30 years. It is very convenient for Queen's Park, and just minutes from the entertainment district. The rare artwork, antiques, gilded mirrors and chandeliers give the hotel a European-style look. Don't be surprised if you run into a superstar in the lobby; this is a favourite resting place for folks like Rod Stewart, Tom Cruise and Robin Leach. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Unique in downtown area |
621 King Street West (at Bathurst Street) Toronto, ON M5V 1M5 Canada +1 416 504 7441 http://www.travelodge.com/Trav... |
Located downtown, this motor inn is definitely an anomaly in high density urban Toronto. Each room comes with a private bathroom and some even have balconies. You have a choice of double, queen- and king-sized beds, and about half the rooms are non-smoking. If you enjoy the convenience of having your car close at hand, and you want hassle-free value for your money, this is a good choice. The location is excellent as it is close to theatres, shopping, and the garment district and within walking distance of the CN Tower, and Rogers Centre. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fantastic harbour views |

It is also within walking distance to the business, shopping and theatre districts. The hotel features three restaurants, including the newly-renovated Lighthouse, which revolves to provide a 360-degree view of downtown Toronto. It has also won the CAA/AAA 'Four Diamond Award' for 15 straight years. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Embrace luxury |
18 St Thomas Street Toronto, ON M5S 3E7 Canada +1 416 971 9666 http://www.windsorarmshotel.com/ |
This small hotel, located across the street from TheatreBooks in Toronto's elite Yorkville area, was built in 1927. Closed in 1991, the property was restored in 1995 and recently re-opened to offer the luxury of Neo-Gothic design combined with modern conveniences. Rooms range in size from 500 to 1,500 square feet. The luxurious stained glass and archways throughout the hotel match the elegant exterior. A caviar lounge, Club 22 dance club, Courtyard Cafe and poolside fireplace are just a few of the highlights.
