Le Meridien King Edward

Frommer's Review

At one time, the King Eddie was the only place in Toronto where Hollywood royalty, such as Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, would stay. In the 1980s, after years of neglect, some local investors spent C$40 million to rescue it. The result recalls its former glory, with rosy marble columns and a glass-domed rotunda dominating the lobby. Although the guest rooms aren't what I'd call spacious -- 28 to 33 sq. m (300-350 sq. ft.) is standard -- their uniformly high ceilings give them a sweeping grandeur that is unusual. Unlike the standard-issue rooms in many competing hotels, these guest rooms have been decorated with a personal touch. The bathrooms are particularly nice, with large marble tubs.

Afternoon tea is an institution at the King Eddie (it's served in the mirrored lounge just off the lobby). The wood-paneled Consort Bar is perfect for people-watching while sipping a champagne cocktail.
