The Top 22 Hotels Near Terra Restaurant
-
The Four Seasons brand started in Toronto, so the Yorkville flagship carries a certain pressure to get things right. This glass tower hotel earns its Forbes Five Star with quietly luxurious rooms recently renovated to nod at the Canadian landscape, a Daniel Boulud restaurant on site, and service that reportedly sets the standard for every other property in the chain, which is either reassuring or a lot to live up to, depending on your mood.
-
Yabu Pushelberg designed the interiors, and the suites average six hundred square feet, which tells you where this boutique hotel sits on the spectrum. The Hazelton is Yorkville's idea of a grand hotel, all heated bathroom floors, a private screening room that fills up during film festival season, and a lobby that skews Gatsby without apologizing for it. Forbes Five Star and two Michelin Keys. Celebrities apparently appreciate the discretion, though the bar patio is very much the opposite.
-
A 40-ton metal tree outside sets the tone: nature and city, held in deliberate tension. This Forbes Five Star, Michelin Key hotel sits in Toronto's financial district but reads more like a sanctuary, with carved wooden screens, cascading waterfalls, and rooms so generous that the standard category runs larger than most hotels' suites. The fifth-floor spa has a hammam and a 20-meter pool with floor-to-ceiling views over the city below.
-
The saltwater infinity pool sits high enough to make the whole city feel like a backdrop, which gives you a sense of the register this Forbes Five Star hotel is operating in. Classic St. Regis butler service, suites that feel more like borrowed condos than hotel rooms, and a spa that hands you champagne after your treatment. Louix Louis on the 31st floor and the Astor Lounge keep guests from ever needing to go far.
-
Rooms at the Park Hyatt run from large to genuinely enormous, with skyline views that remind you exactly where you are in the city. This is a full-service luxury hotel at Bloor and Avenue Road, steps from the ROM and the theater district, and it plays its role without apology: feather beds, a proper spa, a rooftop bar, and a restaurant doing upscale Canadian cuisine. It holds a Michelin Key and a Forbes Four Star.
-
Floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the financial, entertainment, and waterfront districts from every one of the 263 rooms, which run among the largest in the city. The design skews more contemporary than you'd expect from the Ritz name, though the marble bathrooms and the service stay entirely on brand. The CN Tower, Roy Thomson Hall, and three pro sports arenas are all a short walk away, which keeps the lobby interesting.
-
Three thousand live plants line almost every surface of this eco-luxury hotel in King West, which means the lobby smells like a greenhouse and that is entirely the point. Rooms run crisp and contemporary with organic textures doing the warmth-lifting, while Harriet's Rooftop handles sundowners above the neighborhood. The Michelin Guide awarded it one key, which suggests the whole sustainability-meets-pleasure argument lands.
-
A lobby floor that appears to float, suspended from concrete arches by metal rods, is a strong opening argument for a hotel. The Ace Toronto sits in the Garment District, designed with curvaceous brick and retro-futuristic bones. Rooms lean unpretentious: bare wood, vintage-ish furniture, efficient without being sparse. Patrick Kriss runs the restaurant downstairs, and a 14th-floor bar handles the panoramic-view duties. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
-
Some rooms here were designed by Lenny Kravitz, which tells you roughly what you're getting: a 96-room boutique hotel in the Entertainment District where the interiors swing between opulent and rock-and-roll. Four bars and restaurants run from a casual Parisian café on the lower floors to a California-Baja rooftop on the 44th. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
-
A broadcast-ready recording studio in the lobby bar is either bold or completely on-brand for the W, and here it reads as both. This hotel lands in Yorkville with the chain's signature riot of color and sculptural architecture, a rooftop restaurant and bar from Akira Back, serious fitness and wellness facilities, and public spaces that pull in the neighborhood as much as the guests. Selected by the Michelin Guide.
-
The neo-Gothic facade on a quiet Yorkville side street gives nothing away about what's inside: 28 suites done in warm cream minimalism, Frette sheets, limestone bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs, and 24-hour butler service. A Bentley ferries guests around, which may explain why this boutique hotel has become the de facto base for Toronto International Film Festival talent. The Tea Room runs afternoon service by day and a champagne and caviar bar by night.
-
A former Holiday Inn turned Kimpton property, the Saint George sits on Bloor Street just west of Yorkville, which means it's upscale without being precious about it. Nearly 200 rooms across 14 floors manage to feel boutique-scaled, with Frette linens and genuinely attentive service doing most of the convincing. The Fortunate Fox gastropub downstairs handles fish and chips and craft cocktails with equal enthusiasm. The Michelin Guide lists it among its selected hotels.
-
Yoga mats and bamboo slippers in every suite signal the commitment to calm at this all-suite boutique hotel tucked into Toronto's financial district. The Zen design runs floor to ceiling, earthy tones and clean lines throughout, and full-length windows open onto the skyline and Lake Ontario. A steakhouse sits just off the lobby, and Spa Zen handles anything the city still has left on you. Selected by the Michelin Guide.
-
Goose-down duvets and bedside reading lamps signal what kind of boutique hotel this is: one that treats comfort as a design principle rather than an afterthought. Le Germain sits in Toronto's entertainment district, steps from theaters, restaurants, and Scotiabank Centre, so the location does real work. Rooms run warm-toned wood and rich textures in a modernist vein. PUNCH and the Mercer Lounge bar are both on-site when you don't feel like wandering far.
-
Nobu's first Canadian hotel squeezes just 36 rooms into the downtown Entertainment District, which makes it feel more like a private club than a chain outpost. Pale wood, floor-to-ceiling windows, and stone bathrooms with soaking tubs carry the brand's minimalist Japanese aesthetic throughout. Corner suites get the skyline; lake-facing ones get glass fireplaces. The Sakura Lounge, a tea house-inspired retreat, is kept for guests only, which is a rare thing this close to TIFF headquarters.
-
A Dale Chihuly glass sculpture in the lobby sets the tone: this Wellington Street West boutique hotel pairs modernist furniture and neutral tones with soaking tubs and Molton Brown products in the bathrooms. The location sits in Toronto's rough equivalent of midtown Manhattan, which means it works equally well for theatre-goers, shoppers, and the suits. Stylish without being difficult about it, which, depending on your tastes, is either the point or the whole problem.
-
Every room at The Drake is hung with original art, and the hotel has been the anchor of West Queen West's creative scene for what feels like forever. The Classic Wing leans into vintage and retro, while the Modern Wing runs custom furniture and bold décor to the point of excess, in a good way. A courtyard lounge bar connects the two, and a live music venue downstairs keeps things from ever going too quiet.
-
Once the tallest building in the British Empire, the Royal York now plays underdog to the glass towers crowding Front Street. It's a grand old railway hotel with all the ceremony that implies: sweeping public rooms, a spa with a 50-foot pool, and enough dining options that you never have to leave. The Michelin Guide lists it among its selected hotels. Modern comforts are there; the bones are clearly what people come for.
-
Every room in this red brick Victorian hotel on Queen West was decorated by a different Canadian artist and carries a title like an original artwork, not just a number. The result is bohemian-baroque rather than luxury-minimalist, and the vibe holds through the building. The railway still runs close enough to feel it, and the bar stays loud late, so bring earplugs or a tolerance for good company.
-
Glass-walled showers face photos of shirtless athletes, which tells you most of what you need to know about this boutique hotel next to Scotiabank Arena. The Montreal-based Germain group brings Euro-chic to what is otherwise a steel-and-glass office district, pairing loft-style rooms and Egyptian cotton with a lobby lounge that serves cocktails and tapas to anyone pre-gaming a Leafs night. Selected by the Michelin Guide.

Sitting directly on the Lake Ontario waterfront in Burlington, The Pearle is a luxury hotel where most of the 151 rooms face the water and the palette runs to pale wood and warm neutrals, the kind of calm that makes you forget you have a phone. The in-house restaurant draws from the hotel's own farm, and the spa runs to a Hammam, an indoor pool, and a full treatment menu, which is a serious offering for a city this size.
