7. Shangri-La Hotel, Toronto
For guests visiting the Shangri-La Hotel, Toronto, the experience is in the details. Deep soaking tubs, L’Occitane toiletries, Nespresso coffee machines and iPod docking stations are just a few of the amenities Shangri-La guests rave about. Another source of praise is the hotel’s signature restaurant, Bosk, which serves Asian-influenced dishes in a sleek dining room and on an outdoor terrace. If you prefer the allures of the Middle East, indulge at the Miraj Hammam Spa by Caudalie Paris. Plus, the hotel houses a sauna, a private studio for practicing yoga and pilates and an indoor pool lined with daybeds. And when you seek action over relaxation, step outside the hotel to explore downtown Toronto and all its offerings.
