Find your urban sanctuary at the hotel's Spa My Blend by Clarins with steam rooms and vitality pools.

The Windsor Arms is an especially quaint Toronto boutique hotel, according to recent visitors. A brick exterior welcomes visitors to the elegant comforts inside. It's the beauty of this Yorkville property, nestled among high-end shops, that keeps many guests returning to this spot, just steps from Bloor Street. Recent visitors said the 28 suites — equipped with an acoustic guitar, deep soaking tubs and flat-screen TVs — are worth the hotel's high price. And for the anglophiles who can't get enough of the property's English atmosphere, the Windsor Arms features an on-site tea room offering midday sips alongside a fireplace.

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.
