Toronto Hotel Tips by Chrystyna

Fairmount Royal York Hotel
Formerly Canadian Pacific Royal York Hotel
$175 CDN and upwards

Unique Qualities: This is definitely a regal place to stay. The Royal suite is often reserved for well... Royalty. This hotel is not your biggest bang for the buck location, however, if you're looking for atmosphere, situation, and style, this place is a good bet. Situated at Union Station, this hotel is great for exploring Toronto's harbourfront, club district, shopping areas, and so much more. You're certainly in the middle of it all. You can walk to the hockey hall of fame, to the theatre district, the basement is connected to our infamous PATH underground system.

Having eaten at their restaurant as well, I can assure you that the food is excellent. The bar had a great duck and brie quesadilla, while the breakfast buffet was complete and very filling.

The service is impeccable, and if one is familiar with the Fairmount Brand, then you'll know that this place is top class.

Unique Qualities: If you're staying for more than a few days and you're looking for a place in downtown toronto with kitchen facilities, then this is a good place to start your search. I've personally stayed at the this hotel and it has all you need for apartment style living, including laundry facilities on site. It's not in the posh areas of Toronto, however it's great for site seeing, being just a hop away from Chinatown Main at Dundas and Spadina and minutes walk from Queen West.

The prices aren't too shabby at all either. For single occupancy, it's $455 CDN a week (before Mid May) and believe me, that's a great rate in Toronto.

Because of its proximity to Chinatown, there are loads of grocery stores that you can buy your food from and then cook it in your own room. The room comes with a mini fridge as well, so don't worry about food going bad.
