Toronto is an exciting city to visit. Here you'll find a mix of culture, history and a ton of activities to indulge in. Individual and chic, boutique hotels are not a new concept. However, in the past ten years, many of these small-scale establishments have opened and re-opened, setting new standards in luxury accommodation and service. While you might get all the amenities at a big hotel chain, boutique properties take it one step further by catering to your lifestyle and needs. So, whether you're looking for a creative retreat, a way to escape the bustle of city life or you just need some pampering, Toronto offers a variety of options, for anyone who wants more than just a room for a night.
