"A classic luxury experience awaits at this urban oasis that pays homage to the city’s creative core, with 400 pieces of original art from Canadian artists that were commissioned specifically for the hotel. Everything feels indulgent, starting with the 263 modern rooms and suites that are among the largest in Toronto, starting at 450 square feet at minimum, with city skyline or Lake Ontario views. There’s also the blissful Spa myBlend with its aroma-infused vitality pool and highly personalized treatments, in addition to a fitness center and indoor pool. Indulge in locally-sourced produce at the main restaurant, TOCA, or try the British-inspired Gastropub with a Canadian twist, before enjoying a nightcap at the Ritz Bar serving coffee, tea, cocktails, and pastries." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"When the iconic Hôtel de Crillon on Place de la Concorde reopened in 2017 after a top-to-bottom renovation, it not only upgraded the layout and decor of the palace originally built by 18th-century architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel for Louis XV, it also introduced the glorious Grands Appartements by Karl Lagerfeld, one of four designers who worked on the project. As the name suggests, it’s basically an apartment comprising two suites awash in muted gray tones inspired by “the silvery light of Paris.” Lagerfeld designed bespoke furniture, hung his own photographs, installed a dressing room hidden behind a bookshelf, and created an eye-popping bathtub carved from one massive block of marble. He also designed a room playfully dedicated to his cat, Choupette. Though it’s tempting to order room service, you’ll want to join the locals downstairs at the buzzy restaurant Nonos par Paul Pairet, a modern take on a retro Parisian brasserie. From $50,809. Book your stay at the Hôtel de Crillon, a Rosewood Hotel."

Standout views of the CN Tower and the Toronto islands add to the sanctuary-like vibe. The Ritz-Carlton's beautiful rooms, sweeping views, top-notch food and drink, ample wellness amenities, and personalized service can't be beat." - Sandra Ramani, Todd Plummer
"The Ritz-Carlton Toronto is an unusual one — the design is rather more modern than you’ll find in more typical examples of this venerable luxury brand." - Sophie Friedman
