Get ready for take-off! Announcing Forbes Travel Guide's Inaugural Verified Air Travel Awards. 
Occupying a gleaming blue glass tower in the elegant Yorkville neighborhood, Four Seasons Hotel Toronto boasts a chic, contemporary residential design style. All rooms have been recently renovated and celebrate the surrounding Canadian landscape, while furniture and patterns evoke the energizing colors and textures found in nature. The bespoke private bar, aptly named "MyBar," has been thoughtfully curated to include a selection of local products that showcase Canada’s culinary side, like wines from the Niagara region.
You can’t find a better-situated hotel. It’s steps from fine shopping, dining and cultural activities — not that you’d even have to leave the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star hotel to enjoy a taste of fine living. With a Daniel Boulud-helmed restaurant, Café Boulud Toronto, and a fashionable lounge, d|bar, you’ll eat exceptionally well.
A Five-Star spa offers some of the city’s best treatments with new Wellness and Bio Bar. The hotel’s gym is flush with state-of-the-art equipment and amenities such as fruit-infused water.
Aside from the amenities, this hotel holds another special significance — Toronto was where the Four Seasons brand was founded.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- Service also befits the Four Seasons brand and is incredibly warm and professional. From being offered magazines to read while dining alone to being asked how your day is going, you will leave the hotel feeling like your patronage was valued and appreciated.
- One of the city’s best restaurants, Café Boulud offers a divine marriage of soulful French bistro classics and unexpected twists. Order the chicken, cooked to juicy perfection on the in-house rotisserie.
- The 18-treatment-room spa is among the largest in Toronto. Try the Himalayan Salt Stone Massage, which uses an organic whipped shea butter to nourish and rejuvenate the body.
- The spacious, sophisticated guest rooms are a standout, not least because of the spa-like granite bathroom.
- A central location puts you blocks from the city’s best boutiques on Bloor Street and Yorkville, including Holt Renfrew, Burberry and Prada. The luxury hotel is also a quick stroll to the Royal Ontario Museum and Bata Shoe Museum.
Things to Know
- The GPS may direct you toward the hotel’s Bay Street door, but you’ll want to pull up to the Yorkville Avenue entrance, where a valet and team await to help you.
- Kids get their own Five-Star service. They receive separate welcome amenities, bathrobes, toiletries and a complimentary in-room movie with popcorn. The Toronto hotel also offers a family swim time on the weekends and babysitting services.
The Rooms
- The beautiful rooms are among the largest in the city.
- Accommodations come with the latest technology — high-definition smart TVs, Bose stereo systems and charging stations and iPads that let you summon room service and other hotel services with a touch of a button. A television also is embedded in the bathroom mirror.
- The rooms have a residential feel. Most have a curved sofa and coffee table along with floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over the city and open to let in fresh air.
- You will want to linger in the granite-covered bathrooms. Glass-walled rain showers and standalone quick-filling tubs are equally inviting.
- The most luxurious suite sits on the 21st floor. The Royal Suite offers a dining room table that seats eight, two common areas, a bedroom with connecting rooms, a study, a fully equipped kitchen and contemporary Canadian art.
The Restaurants
- At Café Boulud, meat is a specialty. Choose from selections like the made-in-house charcuterie or the truffled white pork sausage with caramelized onions, apple and mashed potatoes.
- At Café Boulud, don’t miss the freshly made and light-as-air lemon madeleines, available during lunch, dinner and brunch.
- The French restaurant offers a list of tantalizing desserts, but for something different, go for the grapefruit sesame halva. The refreshing dish is made of grapefruit sorbet, grapefruit compote and rose loukoum, and it’s all topped with halva floss, a Middle Eastern confection that looks like cotton candy.
- d|bar welcomes a stylish crowd in the evenings, especially when the DJ arrives. With dim lighting, wood paneling and a contemporary and airy feel, the first-floor lounge is a natural gathering place.
- When the weather warms up,d|bar sets up patio tables so that you can people-watch around the Yorkville hotel over confit lamb ribs and mini lobster rolls.
