My hubby took me to Toronto for a short 1 night trip for my birthday in early November. It was kind of a last spur of the moment travel plan since we didn't know he'd end work so quickly that Friday, but we had a great time! Anyway, we stayed at Delta Toronto near Harbourfront to celebrate my birthday and I loved it! It's highly recommended if you're in the area.
The hotel is relatively new; it only opened late last year in 2014! Because it was so new, everything was quite up to date and I really loved the modern glass building.
We checked in late on Friday evening and we were greeted by a friendly Front Desk staff who helped us to all our needs. We were given a room on the 36th floor with a nice view of the CN Tower.
There are two sets of elevators, six in total that take you up to your room. The elevators are divided into two; three of them take you up for the first half of the building, and the other three take you up to the higher floors. Floor 36 required the higher floor-elevator. All of them had access to common areas such as the swimming pool, fitness centre, rooftop lounge and more.
Our room was great! The bed was really comfortable and warm. The room itself was very modern and chic while it had classic elements throughout keeping the room simple. I liked how our lounge chair was by the window - with a great view like that in our room, I would've loved to enjoy some room service or get some work done while being comfortable. There were more than enough lamps which I really appreciated because I don't like it when a room isn't well lit.
Our desk was very spacious and well made to get some serious work done! The only thing that was disappointing was the old Apple charging cord - we would've loved it even more if it had the most recent charging cable.
Towards the hallway of our room was a mini fridge and your basic hotel amenities including a coffee maker and an electric kettle. I tried to use the kettle to boil some hot water, but it kept making the water very murky (like milk) when I poured some in so I decided to not boil anything.
I really loved the spacious bathroom, though it didn't have a bathtub. I personally don't mind when there is no bathtub as it doesn't take up as much room (and probably more cost effective for the hotel) but my hubby is a big bath taker so it would've benefitted him if we had one. Overall the bathroom was very clean and it was one of the best I've been in awhile in Toronto.
The view from our room was incredible! On a bright sunny day like we had, you could see really far out. Though it's really a lake, you could probably fool and tell me saying that it's actually the ocean. It really looks like the ocean in my opinion, except that it doesn't have that sea smell of course!
Delta Toronto Hotel has really nice conference rooms plus direct access to Toronto's Conference Centre. Really nice for those cold winter days that we're heading for! We didn't get to enjoy the hotel restaurant nor the rooftop Club Lounge this time round as we checked out early but next time.
The Fitness Centre and Swimming Pool was on the 4th floor of the hotel and it was being enjoyed by many hotel guests. I couldn't enter the swimming pool as I didn't have proper gear on, but through the windows I could see that the pool was well kept, quite big and really great if you have kids.
If you like exercising during your travels, you'd probably enjoy breaking a sweat while you view the CN Tower. I found the fitness centre smaller than I had expected it to be, but it still had everything you needed for a great workout. It's open 24 hours so if you're a night owl like me, you probably have no excuse not to exercise...
Overall, our short stay at Delta Toronto Hotel was really great. The hotel itself is in a really beautiful area of Toronto, just by the water with lots to do! If you're here with family, not only is there the CN Tower, but the new Aquarium is just nearby and a Blue Jays game is just footsteps away. Business doers will find the Financial District very close, a few blocks up, and literally steps away from the Convention Centre. Hubby and I really enjoyed the newly built 4-star hotel and will definitely come back when we get a chance!
