It’s easy to say that not everyone has the same idea of what a five-star hotel should be.
Some want jewels hanging from their tray of freshly picked fruit and others just want a business centre & gymnasium.
Thanks to Stuba, here is the list of the top 5 luxury properties in Toronto that surpasses expectation.
1. THE RITZ – CARLTON

With almost every review mentioning that this place hosts the best high tea in town, this beautifully nestled property sure knows how to lure guests in. Could this be due to the original fireplace as the stand out feature?
Elegant and delicious, The Windsor Arms Hotel is the perfect example of English tradition done well, uniquely fusing the historic with the modern. Built in 1927, the architecture highlights the neo-gothic time period that still today shows the magic of that time.

You can not go past the dining options. Courtyard Cafe and the incredible Living Room is a sight to be seen. The decor is opulent and you are sure to see a few A-Listers sitting around. (Michael Bublé is that you?)
