Although we live only 10 minutes away, we decided to have a night on the town and booked the Hazelton. This hotel is located in the Yorkville area of downtown Toronto. Yorkville is the hip, see and be seen section. Although we are far from hip and could not care less if we are seen or see we picked this hotel based on it's high 5 star rating.
The hotel delivered, for sure. The deluxe king room we had was decorated beautifully. Extremely comfortable bed dressed with perfectly smooth linens. Huge movable flat screen tv. Curtains that open and close by remote control (love that). Heated floors in the enormous decadent bathroom. TV in the bathroom mirror!
Beautiful wine glasses,champagne glasses, water glasses, coffee mugs. Cuisinart coffee maker, mini fridge. Enormous closet area. Nightly turn down service.
Sigh. I wish I lived here. Better than home, unfortunately.
The service in this hotel is first class. Adam, at the front desk, checked us in and was the epitome of class. The concierge was also great. Other hotels could and should take notes from the service that this hotel offers.
The only downfall was the restaurant One that is located in the lobby of the hotel. Pretentious and terrible service from some 20 something server dude with overpriced and mediocre food. A better bet within walking distance is to head to Spuntini's Restaurant on Avenue Rd for an amazing meal that wont break the bank. Just make reservations first.
