Visitors say that it's hard to find imperfection at the St. Regis Toronto (previously named The Adelaide Hotel, Toronto) – they describe the service as impeccable, the decor as beautiful and the rooms as spacious and well-appointed. The hotel offers spacious lodging (starting at 550 square feet), and those who have visited tend to agree that the rooms don't disappoint. coffee machines, minifridges, complimentary Wi-Fi access and stone-finished bathrooms outfitted with deep-soaking tubs are some of the highlights. Prolong your relaxation at The Spa at The St. Regis Toronto, where an infinity saltwater lap pool is suitable for a post-massage dip. Or, take advantage of Louix Louis, located on the 31st floor. Here, you can indulge in a gourmet meal while you admire the skyline. Sitting at the corner of Bay and Adelaide streets in the financial district, the location of this property places you within walking distance of Toronto's top attractions like the CN Tower and the Hockey Hall of Fame. Keep in mind that because of this hotel's ties to the Marriott family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and redeem points by staying here.

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's Restaurant 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 European-inspired Nouvelle Maria Spa off the hotel's lobby. After you rejuvenate at the spa, retreat to your guest room, where you’ll find an HDTV, a Keurig coffee maker and a glass-encased shower. And thanks to a $40 million renovation the hotel completed in September 2015, rooms now boast new furnishings, too. 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. Make it back in time for the hotel's daily social hour from 4 to 6 p.m. at Portico Lounge and you'll be rewarded with complimentary snacks and specialty priced drinks. Or for something more filling, settle into the plush furniture at Cambridge's Portico Restaurant, which serves seasonally inspired Italian cuisine. With skyline views, roomy suites and friendly service, recent guests say this hotel offers the best bang for your buck.

The Fairmont Royal York opened its doors nearly 85 years ago and was the tallest building in the British Commonwealth. It no longer holds that title, but it still boasts the opulent decor that made it so famous nearly a century ago. The hotel is conveniently connected to the city's underground walkway and sits just one block from the Air Canada Centre. However, guests warn that the guest rooms come with thin walls that can make for a noisy stay. If you're looking for extra quiet, find the hotel's Health Club, which features an indoor lap pool, whirlpool, saunas, steam room and fitness center. For food, try one of the Fairmont's five dining venues: Benihana Japanese Steakhouse, Piper's Pub, Library Bar and York's Cafe. Library Bar's cocktails, single malt whiskey selection and charming atmosphere are especially popular among guests. When you stay at this AccorHotels branch, you can earn frequent flier miles and redeem rewards through the Le Club AccorHotels program.

The Westin Harbour Castle sits in the city's Harbourfront area, nestled between Toronto's ferry stops and Queens Quay. Recent guests recommended the added aesthetic of a lake view guest room for a picturesque panorama. But no matter which of the 977 accommodations you choose, you'll enjoy the brand's signature Heavenly Beds and 32-inch LCD TVs. The on-site Mizzen Restaurant serves a hearty breakfast buffet and a la carte menu in a casual atmosphere. But if it's fine dining you seek, make your way up to the hotel's 38th floor. There, you'll find the Toula Restaurant and Bar, as well as a vast wine selection and flavorful Italian cuisine to suit the dramatic views. For another vivid setting, visit the Votre Beauté European Day Spa; the spa offers a panoramic view of Lake Ontario and European-inspired treatments. Top off your day at the hotel’s heated indoor pool with an adjacent seasonal sundeck. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.

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 Tranquility Suite for extra space and a kitchen outfitted with a fridge and microwave. 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 Wildfire Steakhouse & Wine Bar offers an extensive wine list and mouthwatering cuisine (think: filet mignon, pesto pasta and wild mushroom risotto). If you're looking to catch up on some rest and relaxation, venture to the SpaZen Spa, which offers massages and body treatments, plus a 1,500-sqaure-foot solarium.

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 Bistro on King serves Canadian-inspired entrees, but for a lighter meal, Teller's Bar in the lobby has a smaller menu and a large beer 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.

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 garden can also be found on the roof. To up the relaxation, schedule a treatment at The Grand Spa. Or take in a European atmosphere as you 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.

At this swanky downtown Toronto boutique hotel, 80 suites are designed with hardwood floors and in-room comforts like 400-thread-count sheets, Keurig coffee makers and rainfall showerheads. However, it's the notably helpful staff that guests consider the best part of a Pantages stay. 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 at least one meal: recent visitors said the food at the on-site Stages Restaurant & Lounge is worth sampling. Another amenity to consider: the 8,000-square-foot Village Spa, where treatment rooms, a Jacuzzi and a steam room will rejuvenate you from the demands of urban travel.
