Hotel Details

Location

Located at College and Bay Streets in downtown Toronto, with an exceptional location score of 9.4.
The homestay sits on the 50th floor at the College and Bay intersection, putting Yonge-Dundas Square a 12-minute walk away and the Royal Ontario Museum 1 km from the building. Queens Park, Toronto Eaton Centre, and the CN Tower are all within 5 km, making most city attractions accessible on foot or via a short subway ride-the nearest subway station is about 7 minutes away. Public transit stops are within a short walk, simplifying car-free city exploration. Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport is 5 km away, and major highways are easily reachable. The surrounding area is dense with dining options, including a 1-minute walk to restaurants and convenience stores, with several cafés and eateries such as Presse Cafe (0.5 km) and Nando's (0.5 km) nearby.

Leisure

A seasonal rooftop outdoor pool with city views is available for guests.
The building provides a seasonal outdoor swimming pool located on the rooftop, offering a pool with a view over the Toronto skyline. The pool is open during warmer months, so availability depends on the time of year. This facility adds a leisure dimension to the urban stay, particularly for relaxing after a day of sightseeing or business meetings. Other on-site wellness amenities include the option to enjoy the panoramic views from the apartment's own floor-to-ceiling windows, which many find equally captivating. No spa, gym, or other wellness services are present within the homestay, but the central location places numerous recreational options within easy reach.
