The hype
Guests are obsessed with the rooftop pool and the views, but many find the location inconvenient for exploring the city.
Hotel X Toronto, a Destination by Hyatt Hotel
$250-500/ notte
Prenota se You want a resort-style pool and massive gym while attending a concert at Budweiser Stage or a conference at the Enercare Centre.
Perché piace così tanto
- The Pond: A year-round heated rooftop pool with skyline views
- 10XTO: A 90,000 sq ft athletic club that puts standard hotel gyms to shame
- Proximity to Billy Bishop Airport and Exhibition Place events
In sintesi: It’s a glitzy, isolated urban resort that feels more like Miami than Toronto, perfect for drivers and event-goers but frustrating for pedestrians.
Recensito da @krasiworld: I spent the weekend feeling like royalty here. The sunset views from my room were incredible, but the heated rooftop pool stole the show. It’s the perfect spot to unwind while still feeling the energy of Toronto. Definitely my new favorite city escape.
Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui
Reality check
The 'soundproof' windows struggle against the highway sirens and racetrack noise, and the elevators can be painfully slow during peak times.
- You are in town for a TFC game, concert, or trade show at Exhibition Place
- You prioritize a world-class gym and tennis courts over walking to dinner
- You want a 'staycation' vibe with a pool scene rather than a city exploration base

Suggerimenti degli Insider
- ✨
The 'Library Club' lounge access (if you book a club room) offers continental breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres, which can offset the high food costs.
- ✨
Walk 10 minutes north to Liberty Village for much better and cheaper coffee (Balzac's) and brunch (School) than the hotel offers.
- ✨
The hotel has a private screening room; ask the concierge if any movies are playing during your stay.
5 cose da sapere prima di partire
💡The elevators can be notoriously slow, especially when a wedding or event is letting out.
💡The 'lake view' often includes a view of the Billy Bishop airport runway—great for plane spotters, noisy for others.
💡You are technically on the CNE grounds, meaning during the fair (Aug), you are inside the gates.
💡The glass-walled event rooms have terrible acoustics, making conversation difficult during parties.
💡Room service has a 'delivery fee' plus a 'service charge' plus tax, nearly doubling the menu price.
