The hotel

One of Toronto’s landmark hotels, Fairmont Royal York was built by Canadian Pacific Railway in 1929 and has since welcomed dignitaries and royalty, including Queen Elizabeth II. Once the tallest building in the British Empire, the hotel is housed in a distinctive chateau-style high-rise building and offers a wealth of amenities to keep you busy in-between sightseeing. The fitness centre is almost a world of its own with lap pool, children’s wading pool, steam rooms, saunas and a state-of-the-art gym. Two levels of shops are enough to satisfy the most ardent of shoppers with more shops located directly underneath the hotel in the PATH complex. Several exceptional restaurants cater to every kind of culinary desire. For mouth-watering steaks, look no further than Benihana Japanese Steakhouse and for the best martinis in town, head to the Library Bar with its rich furnishings and elegant atmosphere. Not to be missed is the afternoon tea and Rooftop Garden Tour, held every Saturday and Sunday.

I've always been a big fan of Fairmont. I've stayed at their various properties in various countries. They're always top notch. I stayed in Toronto downtown in June and I got to see the same quality of service there except for 2 things. 1. They gave me a drink voucher. I got to the restaurant/bar basically 60 seconds after the closing time and they didn't honor it. I told them I'll just get something ready to go. They apologized and said, no. Technically, I was a minute late. So they were correct. I give them 10/10 for being technically correct as 60 seconds had been passed. In terms of customer service, quality of typical Fairmont experience and a simple task to do, I give 2/10. I left my voucher with them at the bar and asked them to keep it. 2. The linens and the bed weren't super comfortable. I can't explain why but I couldn't sleep. Must have been a bad bed. Other than the little incident at the Reign restaurant, everything was great. They hooked us up with a fridge and a microwave very quickly. We appreciated that. Everything was great except for the little voucher incident. Such as small thing but I expect better from someone like Fairmont :) I'll definitely come back to Fairmont and this time I'll make sure I show up at least 2 minutes before closing. Thanks Read less

It's been a week since my stay and i miss royal york dearly. The property is so elegant and relaxing and the staff are very professional and friendly. I want to say a special thank you to the Joshua in front desk and the manager, Brian for assisting me with my check in. And to the lovely bellman staff who were all so very nice. The health room attendant that took the time to show me where everything is, he was very patient. And to the wonderful room attendant Rosene Abawi, who made sure I had everything I needed and made my stay more comfortable. My room was very clean upon arrival and during my stay. I also enjoyed my wings on Sunday night and the room service attendant was also very kind. All of you provided great service and were all so kind and friendly and that made my stay very peaceful, thank you all so much. June 28th 2024 - July 1st 2024 Read less
