The reimagined Park Hyatt Toronto in the luxurious Yorkville neighbourhood is making waves after an extensive four-year renovation. Offering its loyal discerning guests a sophisticated hotel experience rooted in Canadian heritage. Inspired by the brand’s ethos, the hotel is a cultured blend of artfully designed textures, colours and shapes said to mimic the country’s seasons. In the 219 rooms, including 40 suites, the avant-garde décor has a curated homely feel. Thoughtful touches include digital key entry, custom furniture and bold art. The presidential suite on the fifteenth floor embodies timelessness with walnut wood and local Owen Sound limestone softened by warm textiles and carefully selected touches.

Joni is the new restaurant in the completely reconstructed centre podium. The double-height, ellipse-shaped restaurant and bar has a feature black stairway on the one side and a roaring fireplace to the north. The menu is inspired by local ingredients and homemade elements by the talented team. The 17th-floor Writer’s Room is a much loved rooftop bar and icon in the city that has been immortalised by generations of Canadian authors from Mordecai Richler to Margaret Atwood. The brand-new Stillwater Spa has eleven treatment rooms, two couple’s suites, and manicure and pedicure services. The impressive contemporary art throughout warrants a tour.
