The hype
Travelers universally praise the 'impeccable' design and 'soundproof' rooms, but often wish for in-room coffee makers that aren't just request-only.
Ace Hotel Toronto
$230-350/ noite
Reservar se You want a design-forward base camp in the Fashion District that feels like a cool friend's loft, not a corporate box.
Por Que As Pessoas Adoram
- The suspended lobby 'floating' on steel rods is an architectural marvel
- Window nooks in every room that actually make you want to read a book
- Alder's wood-fired Mediterranean food is a destination in itself
Resumo Rápido: It’s undeniably cool and the staff are genuinely nice, but the 'cozy' rooms can feel tight if you bring more than one suitcase.
Revisado por @44nouns: I stayed in this suite and it felt more like a friend's cool loft than a hotel. The vintage vinyl collection and that acoustic guitar gave me total creative freedom, and curling up in the window nook with a view of the Toronto skyline was the perfect recharge.

- You appreciate architecture — the Shim-Sutcliffe design is world-class

5 coisas que deve saber antes de partir
💡The window benches are deep enough to actually nap on.
💡The 'Double Double' room is really just two beds touching each other; don't expect privacy.
💡The lobby floor is suspended from steel rods — if you look closely, it doesn't touch the columns.
💡You can borrow a guitar from the front desk if your room doesn't have one.
💡The shower pressure is excellent, but the controls can be a bit finicky to figure out.
