One night in Toronto … where to lay my weary head? The Shangri-La, with its smack-dab-central location and all-in amenities, is the obvious choice, every time.
It all starts in the lobby, where koi keep to their indoor/outdoor (in summer) pond and live music entertains lounge guests (peek at the piano: a custom-made Fazioli that features a quote by Canadian icon Joni Mitchell). Plus, a rotating display of couture gowns from William Banks-Blaney’s private collection and award-winning Asian-inspired cuisine at Bosk restaurant. On to the guest suites, which are lavish (think white marble floors, deep-soak tubs, L’Occitane bath products, one-touch controls for lights and drapes, complimentary Wi-Fi (no logging in!) and Nespresso Zenius coffee makers) whether you book the penthouse Shangri-La or Owner’s suites or a one-bedroom.
To add an extra level of luxury, even to a limited stay, make time for a traditional Middle Eastern full-body exfoliation treatment at the Miraj Hammam Spa—I did, and boy-oh-boy was it worth it. —Noa Nichol
