Best Hotels near Distillery District

President Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain and Ernest Hemingway are just some of the rich and famous who once spent a night at the century-old King Edward Hotel, located in the center of downtown Toronto. The on-site Victoria Cafe doesn't quite share the longevity of the property, but the fine dining atmosphere and local cuisine invoke a sense of royal treatment. Many more chances to indulge abound at the new Mokara Spa, set to open in spring 2020. In your guest room, you’ll find an HDTV, a coffee maker and a glass-encased shower. Here's another advantage of choosing to stay here: If you participate in Omni's Select Guest rewards program, you are eligible to receive perks, such as complimentary Wi-Fi access and free nights at this property.

Located just a few blocks from Toronto's Eaton Centre shopping complex and within walking distance to the Royal Ontario Museum and the Canon Theatre, this boutique retreat earns high praise from recent visitors, who applaud its central city location. Each guest room is appointed with a flat-screen TV, complimentary Wi-Fi access, microwave, coffee maker, minifridge and separate living area, offering travelers a spacious alternative to standard urban hotel quarters. For a filling meal, settle into the plush furniture at Cambridge's Portico Restaurant, which serves globally inspired cuisine. With skyline views, roomy suites and friendly service, recent guests say this hotel offers the best bang for your buck, though some do complain of subpar customer service.

One King West was once home to the Dominion Bank headquarters – the late 1800s architecture is evidenced by the remaining sweeping arches, intricate detailing and cathedral windows. Follow the lobby's marble staircase down to the building's original bank vault; today, this space doubles as a popular venue for weddings and corporate events. But the building isn't completely stuck in the past. Modern, fully equipped accommodations come designed for extended stays, with kitchenettes that feature mircowaves and minifridges. The on-site Teller's Bar in the lobby has a smaller menu and a large drink selection. Or, if you're on the go, swing by Café Plenty in the lobby to pick from a selection of freshly baked pastries. Guests rave about the hotel's covetable location; at the southwest corner of the busy King and Yonge streets, One King West is connected to Toronto's PATH underground walking system and is steps from King Subway station. But another major perk of choosing to hang your hat here, according to recent visitors, is the gracious hotel staff.

At this downtown Toronto boutique hotel, 80 suites are designed with hardwood floors and in-room comforts like Wi-Fi (for a fee), large windows and rainfall showerheads. Try to snag one of the recently renovated rooms, which travelers say are well-appointed and clean. Younge-Dundas Square sits just beyond the hotel's doors, which means you'll be within walking distance of the shopping at the Toronto Eaton Centre and the theaters and sports venues of the entertainment district. But you should consider sticking close to home for a quick meal: the on-site Stages Restaurant & Lounge is worth sampling. You can also fit in your workout on-site in the Pantages' fitness center. While many guests appreciated the hotel's location, multiple visitors were displeased with the hotel's customer service.

Ascend the crimson stairs at the entrance of The Grand Hotel & Suites Toronto and you'll begin a luxury overnight experience. All 177 roomy suites are appointed with living areas, kitchenettes, LCD TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi access. Guests rave about the heated whirlpools that sit on the hotel's rooftop, where visitors can take in sweeping, panoramic views of the Toronto skyline. For those looking to linger outdoors, an 8,000-square-foot patio can also be found on the roof. To up the relaxation, schedule a treatment at The Grand Spa. Or savor regionally inspired cuisine prepared with locally sourced ingredients at the much-lauded Citrus Restaurant; the outdoor terrace opens during the spring and summer months. If you seek another outdoor spot, The Grand Hotel sits amid plenty of green spaces in the Garden District, just off Dundas Street.

This hotel's central location draws the most praise from travelers: the Executive Hotel Cosmopolitan sits on quiet Colborne Street in Toronto's buzzing Financial District, just a few blocks from the Air Canada Centre and less than 20 miles from Toronto Pearson International Airport. But while the hotel aims to feel like a secluded oasis separated from the hustle and bustle of the city, with floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, flat-screen TVs and kitchens (complete with toasters and coffee makers), some previous visitors say the hotel lacks personalization. Past guests recommend upgrading to a bigger suite for extra space and a larger kitchen. And if it's nightlife you seek, you may not even need to leave the property to get a taste of the Toronto scene. The swanky lounge ViV offers an extensive cocktail menu and mouthwatering cuisine (think: ahi tuna poke, seared scallops and crispy eggplant). If you're looking to catch up on some rest and relaxation, venture to the SpaZen Spa, which offers massages and body treatments.
