Expert hospitality and high style in heart of financial district
The Metropolitan Hotel Toronto's sleek design is a perfect match for the vibrant urban landscape of the financial district it inhabits. There's a lot going on, with business centers, theaters, galleries, museums, restaurants and boutiques nearby. But while the thrum of the streets is fast-paced and exciting, guests find a refuge of tranquility inside the hotel. After a day of meetings, shopping or sightseeing, relax with friends and colleagues at one of the hotel's award-winning restaurants. Or soak in an in-suite whirlpool tub and order dinner in.
Highlights
  • Complimentary downtown limousine service
  • In-suite whirlpool tubs
  • Award-winning on-site Lai Wah Heen Restaurant
Rooms
Find stylish, contemporary decor, European linens, operable windows and business-friendly amenities in all guest rooms and suites at the Metropolitan Hotel Toronto. Some suites also have large marble bathrooms with whirlpool tubs and plush bathrobes. Executive suites feature a fax machine, laser printer, stereo with CD player, and a walk-in closet, in addition to all the standard amenities. Wi-Fi Internet access is available throughout the hotel (fees apply).
Features
The staff at the Metropolitan Hotel understands what it takes to make a business trip successful, from providing high-tech amenities to complimentary limousine service. Leisure travelers, too, will appreciate the stylish ambience of the hotel and the proximity to some of Toronto's most exciting tourist attractions. The state-of-the-art fitness center and heated indoor pool are great for burning off energy. Both on-site restaurants are award-winning regional stars, but they offer entirely unique menus. In fact, local critics say that Lai Wah Heen serves the best dim sum in North America.

Great Choice For a Great Price

This was a great choice for a quick trip I took to Toronto. It was right smack in the middle of Downtown Toronto. Great walking distance to restaurants and shopping. And plenty of sight seeing. One flaw is the small room, but its a hotel room, you shouldn't spend much time there anyway.

When I go to a new city I love to check out their malls. You get to see what others have to offer and the demographic of the visiting city. There is a great mall just blocks away from the Hotels front door. Enjoy

very good location

the hotel was good as I mentioned above, but I was mandatory extra charge of $9 per night as service charge, regardless of using. I expect this amount ($36) will be refunded by you, as it was not mentioned at the time of purchase. I would recommend more transparency, in such situation, and if there is a mandatory charge, why is not asked for at the time of booking?

Good Value

This is a pretty nice hotel. Clean and adequate, but not luxiorious. Conveniently located right on the edge of Chinatown, and near the banking district and a large indoor mall. Highly rated Chinese rest in the hotel, but pricey.

Good value hotel in a great location

The Metropolitan is a good value in a very convenient location for anything downtown. It sits between two subway lines and is a short walk from Queen Street. There is a pool and a fitness room, both basic but seemingly clean. If those are high priorities other hotels might be a better choice. Ask for a higher floor room for views overlooking the city.

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

Queen Street streetcar - ride the length for a view of many different neighborhoods. (And I have no idea about "dining options" at the hotel as I never ate there, but the system REQUIRES a rating. Area dining was abundant with many good choices.)
