The Thompson Toronto, Toronto's newest luxury hotel, has received a
rave review in the
New York Times Travel Section. The hotel, described
"as sleek [and] modern with a cosmopolitan appeal", is applauded for its
"happening" location (on Wellington just south of King), its many
amenities (including a spectacular wraparound rooftop patio), and its
formal and efficient service.
"The aesthetic at the 102-room Thompson Toronto, opened in June 2010,
is retro-modern, and the rooftop pool is a party spot in its own right,
complete with bouncers and guest lists. The hotel has a branch of
Scarpetta, the New York chef Scott Conant's modern Italian restaurant;
a lobby bar that serves cocktails with ingredients like elderflower and
Campari; and a 40-seat screening room (sure to get some use during the
Toronto International Film Festival). Construction has begun on an
adjacent Thompson residence tower. "
"The Thompson is a sleek, modern hotel with a cosmopolitan appeal,
particularly for those whose trip includes a bit of see-and-be-seen.
With rooms starting at 250 Canadian dollars, about the same in U.S.
dollars, it's an easy way to buy into the jet set."
