Hotel X Toronto seemed to have grown out of nowhere, blooming overnight into one of the city’s hottest hotels. Anchored between BMO Field, Enercare Centre and Budweiser Stage, the hotel, by Library Hotel Collection injects a dash of the unexpected into this parcel of lake-side land. It’s become a hotspot for lakeside stays, convenient airport departures and CNE stays.
Step Inside the Seaside City Escape at Hotel X
The stunning property boasts the usual hotel niceties, but here, they are state-of-the-art, with no detail left untouched. The soaring suites, flanked with picturesque lakeside views are spacious and well-appointed. Part of the Library Collection, known for some of NYC’s finest hotels, they are following a very sophisticated script, one that weaves all the high-end flourishes you seek, with a modern aesthetic that anchors the property as one of Toronto’s best.
The eco and pet-friendly property positions itself as a destination for doing- concerts, sporting events, conferences, or a stay before jetting off from nearby Billy Bishop all make for splendid stays. There is a rooftop pool for summertime, and a second pool coming for the glorious 10XTO gym. The newly minted Guerlain Spa provides the perfect incentive to break a sweat, with a full menu of services ready for you when you finish.
And morning workouts wouldn’t be a thing without some caffeination, and thankfully that’s no problem with in-room coffee makers, powered by Nespresso. If you’re looking for a bite with your brew, then head to the onsite Starbucks, open daily or opt for full sit-down service at ROSES Kitchen. The Library Lounge Club offers breakfast and bites for happy hour. Valerie, a three-level rooftop concept is more fitting for last call, a prime spot for people-watching and grabbing drinks at the end of the day, with the city acting as a perfect backdrop.
But our favourite feature? The Cinema! We love the call to come out of your comfortable room (put on pants first) and join fellow guests for free screenings of classic movies. With 250 seats you’d be hard-pressed to get all your friends in here, but wouldn’t it be fun to try?
Check the Hotel X website for updates on events, spa promotions and special dining opportunities- there are always events happening, as the saying goes, X truly does mark the spot!
