In his 1933 novel Lost Horizon, British author James Hilton created a mythical utopia, a sort of heaven-on-earth, that he called Shangri-La. Now all the earthly pleasures of this aptly named hotel in Toronto are available to all. You may even feel like its all too good to be true.
do
Take tea in the vast lobby lounge, where a fresh menu of macarons is baked daily- try the one with fois gras. Sit back a people watch, especially come film fest: we saw Kiefer Sutherland stroll by (perhaps on his way to the private screening room)?
spa
The Miraj Hammam Spa by Caudalie Paris combines Moroccan luxury with French refinement, a marriage made in pampering heaven. Exotic décor, private hammam treatment rooms and wine-infused skincare products that are gentle and natural make for one-of-a-kind experience.
lunch
Adjoining the hotel is New York chef David Changs first Canadian outpost of Momofuku, with three levels offering different dining experiences. We love the ground floor Momofuku Noodle Bar with its communal tables and bustling lunch crowd.
swim
The hotels award-winning pool also features deck side infrared saunas, perfect for detoxing after a night at Soho House, the elite private club right next to the hotel.
dine
The beautiful Asian-inspired Bosk restaurant offers very attentive service in a bright and airy space off the main lobby. Come summer, a patio opens up onto University Avenue, offering fresh seafood platters right in the heart of downtown.
sleep
Hotel rooms are more like luxury apartments with lots of storage space, ample desks, boudoir-like bathrooms, and one suite even has it own spin bike. See, why would one ever leave?
