Fairmont Royal York

Built by the Canadian Pacific Railroad in 1929 and located across from Union Station, this massive hotel has 1,365 guest rooms and suites, and 35 meeting and banquet rooms. Just sitting on a plush couch in the magnificent old-fashioned lobby and watching the crowd is an event. Still, you have to decide whether you want to stay with countless business travelers, tour groups, and conventioneers. Service is efficient, if impersonal. The hotel pays attention to accessibility, and some guest rooms are specially designed for wheelchair users, the hearing impaired, and the visually impaired. The hotel is also a leader in eco-friendly initiatives. The restaurants are a good bet and eco-minded, noted for their sustainable seafood program and admired for beehives on the roof that supply honey for the kitchens and, ultimately, for your toast. Tip: Watch the website for special offers.
