The Four Seasons Toronto opened in 2012 in Yorkville, the city’s most upmarket neighborhood, and has held its position as the best hotel in Toronto without much serious challenge since. It is a modern building rather than a historic one, which means 259 rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, generous proportions, and none of the architectural constraints that come with an older property.
The location puts you a short walk from the Royal Ontario Museum, the best of Bloor Street’s shopping, and some of the city’s best restaurants.
What distinguishes it beyond the Four Seasons standard is the dining and the spa. Café Boulud brings Daniel Boulud’s culinary approach to Toronto in a restaurant that has earned a local following, which at a hotel restaurant is worth noting. The spa carries a Forbes Five-Star rating, the only hotel spa in the city to do so.
