Westin Harbour Castle

This convention hotel is on the lakefront, just across from the Toronto Islands ferry docks. Not surprisingly, the views are among the best in the city. The trade-off is that it is somewhat out of the way. It's a 5-minute walk to Union Station, but to get there you have to cross under the Gardiner Expressway, one of Toronto's ugliest and most desolate patches. The hotel tries to compensate with shuttle bus service; you'll also find a public-transit stop and a queue of cabs at the hotel. Regardless, it's unlikely you'll want to go for an evening stroll around the neighborhood. Recognizing the lack of things to do in the vicinity, management has wisely populated the hotel with attractions. The dining options are excellent: Toula attracts Toronto residents as well as visitors in droves. There are also terrific sports facilities, giving this monolithic hotel the feel of a resort.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; indoor pool; 2 tennis courts; 2 squash courts; excellent health club; spa; Jacuzzi; sauna; children's center; concierge; business center; Wi-Fi; salon; room service; laundry service; dry cleaning
