The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto

The summer 2010 opening of The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto speaks to the international sophistication of Toronto, Canada's financial capital and largest city. The building's bold, slim contemporary architecture rises 53 stories from the heart of the financial and entertainment districts, across from the CN Tower and Roy Thomson Hall (home of the Toronto International Film Festival).

While floors 6 to 20 hold the luxuriously appointed guest rooms, and floors 22 to 52 hold private residences, a five-story glass podium base contains the reception area, restaurants, 23,000-square-foot spa, and more than 20,000 square feet of state-of-the-art ballrooms and meeting space. The Ritz-Carlton hallmarks of highly personalized service and impeccable taste suit discerning Torontonians, leisure guests, executive travelers, and meeting planners alike.
