"Opened in 2018, this luxury property delivers unstuffy elegance with 258 bright, airy rooms that are larger than many competitors and include thoughtful touches like overhead bedtime reading lights and chaise longues. Its 31st-floor Louix Louis bar and restaurant has become a sensation for its art-nouveau-meets-space-age decor and a backlit bar holding more than 500 spirits. Situated on a prime Bay Street corner, it’s a short walk to downtown hotspots like Yonge Street, the Entertainment District, and Union Station; the 30th-floor Caroline Astor and John Jacob Astor suites (1,675 and 2,035 sq ft) rank among the city’s most opulent accommodations." - Michael Kaminer
