Lonely Planet Review

The Windsor Arms is an exquisite piece of Toronto history befitting a traditional high tea or an indulgent sleepover. Its neo-gothic lobby with mahogany pillars and stained-glass windows gives way to elegant guest rooms, and your own exclusive (albeit temporary) address in one of Toronto's swankiest neighborhoods.

Each suite has soothing lighting, soft grey and lime hues, and bathrooms bigger than most hotel bedrooms. Be sure to check out the birchwood jacuzzi tubs. Rooms range from the smallest Junior Suite with two double beds and a living room, to the Windsor Suite with an extra bedroom, a massive dining room, two dens with fireplaces, and four bathrooms! Regardless of size, all suites promise 24-hour butler service, DVD/VCR players, three telephones, high-speed Internet access and luxurious robes and linens. Beware of rooms above Club 22, which has nightly live gigs (Mon-Sat) and significant noise pollution. Whether for a lovely cup of tea by day or champagne and caviar by night, the cosy Tea Room is your best choice with its ornately molded fireplaces and sumptuous chairs. The spa gets consistently positive reviews in the media.
