Toronto: Hotels

Like most major cities, bold-faced properties – the Four Seasons, the Marriott, the Westin – are well-represented in Toronto. Unless you’re looking for universal business-travel standards, however, opt for one of the city’s smaller properties for a more intimate “Torontonian” experience. High-end accommodations go for upwards of $350 nightly. Budget rooms can be had for under $250 a night. Falling somewhere in between those two extremes, moderate properties – typically those of the standard business-chain variety – offer guests expected comforts at reasonable rates.
