The Four Seasons Toronto

Café Boulud is the main reason to eat in rather than out, which is not something you can say about many hotel restaurants. Daniel Boulud’s approach, rooted in the home cooking traditions of Lyon and refined through decades of French cuisine.

The rotisserie is the kitchen’s centrepiece and the Sunday brunch has developed a reputation that brings in locals as much as hotel guests. The wine list runs to over 350 labels.

d|bar sits at street level below the restaurant with a patio that opens in warmer months and a cocktail programme built around craft spirits and sharing plates. It has the energy of a place people choose to come to rather than fall into by default, which for a hotel bar is the right distinction.

Yorkville is the right neighbourhood for a luxury Toronto stay. Bloor Street’s high-end retail, the Royal Ontario Museum, and the best of the city’s restaurant scene are all within easy walking distance.

The nearest subway station is one block away, making the wider city straightforwardly accessible. Pearson International Airport is around 35 minutes by car depending on traffic, and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, which handles domestic and some US routes, is around 15 minutes.
