“This high-concept hotel is the Canadian company's flagship…the 32-story outpost has maintained its freshness through frequent renovations, while keeping signature elements like the lobby's impressive black and white marble floors and a cove ceiling bathed in soft light…it's constantly abuzz with Canadian power-players…The Lobby and Avenue bars and lounge also draw those who converge on Yorkville, Toronto's exclusive shopping enclave...lucky for the Hollywood [crowds] who gather in the Art Deco-inspired Avenue bar every September during the Toronto Film Festival."
