Templar Hotel Toronto

When guests arrive at the Templar Hotel, an 8-story shard in the beating heart of Toronto’s chic entertainment district, they quickly realize that this is no ordinary city hangout. Whether they are dropped off by the stylish airport shuttle (a Porsche Panamera) or walk from the nearby Metro Toronto Convention Center, they’re seen craning their necks to marvel at its shimmering glass and aluminum facade. Beyond the narrow entrance, visitors find glowing modern art installations and specially-designed Poliform furnishings giving the lobby an air of cool, custom-built luxury. Here at the spiritual center of a subconsciously eclectic world created by Toronto-based designer Del Terrelonge, guests can choose to soak up the elegant surroundings or shop for some of the furnishings and artworks that dot the walls. A similarly relaxed vibe oozes through the rest of the building, from the 27 marble-dressed rooms and suites to the spectacular rooftop bar, which provides you with a place to take in views of the colossal CN Tower. There’s even a Japanese-style spa, complete with a deep, sand-blasted pool, through which you can gaze down into the Templar’s design-inspired bar. Templar Hotel is a luxurious, custom-built retreat in one of Toronto’s coolest neighborhoods. With unique art installations, bespoke high-end furnishings and exemplary service, it’s an eclectic urban hangout where guests can truly relax and unwind.
