Putting on the Ritz

Coco Chanel worked in a chic Parisian flat but slept each night in a
private suite at the Hôtel Ritz.

With glass-blown chandeliers, heated floors and California Closets, well
happily lay our head at Torontos stunning new Ritz-Carlton. The décor is
crisply Canadiana with bronze maple leafs embedded in the lobby floors
and bouquets of maple syrup candies perched by the beds.

For good eats, throw on some pearls and visit the decadent cheese cave
at chef Tom Brodis (of Canoe fame) TOCA restaurant or park yourself at
the solid pewter bar for sustainable caviar served with candied ginger
cocktails.

Add a spritz of No. 5 and its just like home.

Rooms from $500. The Ritz-Carlton, 181 Wellington Street W., Toronto,
416-585-2500, www.ritzcarlton.com/toronto
