Frommer's Review
The Hilton Toronto isn't what it used to be -- and that's a good thing. A few years ago the company splurged on a C$25-million face-lift, and suddenly the Hilton was one of the most attractive large hotels in the city. On the western edge of the Financial District -- and right across the street from the new Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts -- the 32-story Hilton boasts generously sized rooms decorated with streamlined luxury in mind. Because of the hotel's excellent location overlooking the wide boulevard of University Avenue, many rooms (and the glass elevators) have superb vistas. Because of its proximity to the Financial District, the Hilton is a favorite among business travelers; the closeness to the Four Seasons Centre will undoubtedly appeal to opera buffs, too. Executive rooms include perks such as ultraplush terry bathrobes, trouser presses, and access to a private lounge that serves complimentary breakfast and evening snacks.
The Hilton is more cutting edge than you'd expect from a business hotel, making it a sophisticated choice. The design of the grand foyer is dramatic, with an illuminated canopy, floor lights and backlights, and copious use of glass. There are photographic art exhibits on the public floors. Last but not least, as part of its renovation, the Hilton unveiled the magnificent Tundra, which serves top-notch Canadian cuisine.
