Shangri-La\u2019s central location means you can explore this multicultural metropolis, while enjoying a five-star stay with world-class comfort and service. But you may have to drag yourself outside; the spacious rooms and suites are bright and comfortable with floor-to-ceiling windows, hi-tech controls and marble furnishings.<\/p>\n

The bathrooms are kitted out with divine John Masters Organic toiletries.<\/p>\n Toronto is easy to reach with direct Air Canada<\/a> flights from Heathrow, and use of its Maple Leaf lounges when you fly business class. The hotel is a half-hour taxi ride from the airport and has an impeccable concierge service; the staff are happy to offer advice on what to see and how to get there.<\/p>\n Eating and drinking<\/p>\n \n The hotel\u2019s signature Bosk Restaurant <\/p>\n (Image credit: Shangri-La Toronto)<\/p>\n Breakfast at Shangri-La Toronto is worth waking up for. It\u2019s not your typical buffet, but an experience in itself with dishes that include a wellness frittata, duck congee, and homemade granola. It\u2019s served at the hotel\u2019s signature Bosk Restaurant, where dinner is just as delicious. The evening menu celebrates northern Italian flavours, sourcing produce from Canadian farmers and businesses.<\/p>\n One of the places the hotel sources its ingredients is St Lawrence Market<\/a>, a short walk away. I took a tour with Bosk Restaurant\u2019s chef de cuisine, Troy Cabarios. The market sells foods from around the world, reflecting Canada\u2019s diverse population, and some of the stalls have been there for generations.<\/p>\n With your appetite woken, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants to try outside the hotel. I visited Takja BBQ House, a Korean restaurant where meat and seafood is grilled in the middle of your table. Lunch at the Peller Estates<\/a> winery, producer of the best wine in Canada, is a must. It is close to Niagara Falls, so you can combine the two on a day trip. The winery runs a lunch and wine-tasting package, plus a tour of the winery. A five-course tasting menu starts from $200 (\u00a3107), and a tour alone costs from $45 (\u00a324).<\/p>\n Don\u2019t miss the 10below Icewine Lounge, made completely of ice, including the furniture. Its temperature remains at -10C all year round, which is the temperature Peller sets for harvesting its ice wine grapes. In the chilled atmosphere, enjoy a glass of the well-known Canadian ice-wine \u2013 liquid gold!<\/p>\n Things to do <\/p>\n \n The tranquil indoor pool at Shangri-La Toronto<\/p>\n (Image credit: Shangri-La Toronto)<\/p>\n As you may expect, the hotel\u2019s Miraj Hammam Spa offers the perfect way to unwind and relax after a busy day of shopping and sightseeing. Middle Eastern wellness rituals blend with modern needs \u2013 you\u2019ll want to try more than one treatment. I opted for a deep tissue massage, one of the best I have had, but you may be tempted by the Turkish bath or a Sodashi plant-based facial. You can also sample some in-room spa time: book the \u2018bath butler experience\u2019 in advance and your bath will be set up with petals, a candle and a bath bomb, alongside optional room service.<\/p>\n What to read next<\/p>\n No visit to Toronto is complete without a tour of Niagara Falls, 80 miles away on the other side of Lake Ontario. But for something really special, book a trip with Niagara Helicopters<\/a>, where you\u2019ll have the opportunity to capture the most amazing views of the Falls. It doesn\u2019t come cheap: a 12-minute flight costs $200 (\u00a3107) but you\u2019ll leave with some incredible memories. I also tried out the recently opened virtual experience at Niagara Parks<\/a>, where the immersive ride ($33 [\u00a317] for adults) lets you soar above Lake Ontario and the thundering falls without boarding a helicopter.<\/p>\n While the falls is an unmissable side trip, there is plenty more to see. Don\u2019t miss the CN Tower<\/a> for amazing views of the city, Little Canada, the Aquarium \u2013 and the historic Distillery District is a must-see. See what\u2019s on during your visit at Visit Toronto<\/a>.<\/p>\n The verdict <\/p>\n \n (Image credit: Shangri-La Toronto)<\/p>\n Just as you would expect from any Shangri-La hotel, the Toronto<\/a> outpost made my visit to the city truly enjoyable. It\u2019s a seriously classy hotel and I found it the perfect place to come back to after exploring everything the busy city has to offer. If you want to combine adventure, luxury and relaxation, the Shangri-La is the place to stay.<\/p>\n![\"Shangri-La](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/vxW33vJNacuwZo3H9ryAF.png\")
