Frommer's Review

This majestic heritage-listed building is striking for its remarkable scale and imposing Italianate facade. Building started on the six-story site in 1887, and additions were still being made in 1958. It became a hotel in 1997 and is now managed by Sofitel. Suites have plush red Pullman carpets, a full kitchen with a dishwasher; the one-bedroom loft suites have European-style espresso machines, CD player, a second TV in the bedroom, and great views over the new Docklands area beyond -- though rooms are whisper quiet. All rooms are similar but vary in size; some have balconies. Many of the suites are split-level, with bedrooms on the second floor.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; golf course nearby; exercise room; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms
