"As the homegrown flagship for a brand that started in the city, this hotel emphasizes understated luxury and a museum-quality collection of Canadian art—about 1,700 commissioned works—including a striking dandelion sculpture above the front desk. The 259-room property pairs serene, predominantly white guest rooms with high-end dining from a Daniel Boulud–operated restaurant and a recently refreshed patio featuring a massive mural by a local artist. A relaunched ultra-indulgent spa with an outdoor terrace and proximity to Yorkville’s luxury shopping complete the upscale experience." - Michael Kaminer
