A girlfriend came to visit me in Guelph - and so we naturally headed to Toronto for the weekend ;) I let her pick our hotel - and am so glad I did!
We were given a suite on the top floor....a very swanky one that included the previously mentioned, awesome, see-through full length window panel from the shower to the bed (both of our boyfriends were incredibly jealous when they heard about this...hehe).
Kinky showers aside, this place has it all...amazingly plush robes, a view of the CN tower, very attentive concierge and absolutely phenomenal "continental" breakfast. It is in quotations because it is a far cry from the pre-mixed eggs and pasty bagels that come to mind when this breakfast style is mentioned.
Hence - the rest of this review will discuss the breakfast....
- all the fresh cut strawberries you can eat
- a hostess that greats you with cappuccino (made with soy milk if you wish!)
- smoked salmon, with capers and lemon wedges
- delicious cheeses
- various fresh breads and croissants
- spiced oatmeal with amazing berry compote
- and of course eggs (but not the kind that shape to your spoon when you dish them out)
... it's like I stepped into a European gourmet cafe... but one that did not judge me when I went back for 2nds (uhm... maybe 3rds)
ADVICE:
If you're considering staying at one of the chains, because it'll be $50 or so cheaper... skip that, come here and enjoy the best "continental" breakfast you could ever dream up... and of course, ask for the see-through shower suite. Just for kicks.
