Best Hotel in America

By Jayesh Bagde

The Windsor Arms elegance and plush surroundings, combined with
an exceptional level of service, makes it the destination hotel
in Toronto.

One of the best hotels in America is The Windsor Arms Hotel
located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It embodies the elegance of
a bygone era: a grand hotel, a Toronto landmark since 1927,
recently re-opened as a dazzling, contemporary boutique hotel
favored by celebrities visiting the city.

Located in the heart of Toronto's trendy Yorkville area, the
Windsor Arms for sure blends perfectly with its surroundings but
nestling in a sanctuary of tranquility. The lively and dynamic
neighborhood is brimming with designer boutiques, sophisticated
and trendy restaurants, art galleries and museums. But the
Windsor Arms indeed is privately secluded thirty yards from the
Golden Strip, shrouded in genteel quiet.

At the back of this beautiful century-old facade are the 28
newly-appointed luxury suites with 24-hour butler services. The
suites are filled with mahogany or birch furnishings, lush wall
coverings and splendid Frette linens and private in-room bar,
and equipped with the latest, state-of-the-art technology. Every
suite has a unique 'butler's cupboard': a place for laundry,
shoes to be shined or room service trays to be set, so the
butler may retrieve or return them without ever disturbing the
guests. The hotel boasts a staff to guest ratio of 1:6, the
highest in Canada. The Courtyard Café of the hotel is the host
for its exceptional dining. The extraordinary cuisine is served
in a breathtaking room with 50-foot ceilings, skylights, and
limestone walls. Enjoy traditional afternoon tea in the Tea
Room, which was transformed to become Toronto's only champagne
and caviar bar in the evenings. Club 22 features casual dining,
live entertainment and dancing. The health spa, featuring
Darphin, offers fully serviced individual treatment rooms,
beauty salon, swimming pool and exercise facilities.

The hotel offers 9 deluxe suites, and all suites have King size
beds except for the two standard rooms. The 2 Windsor Suites and
4 Corner Suites have been recently renovated. Highlights of the
Windsor Suite include - 1500 sq.ft. in space, 2 pull-out double
bed couches, a living room, a den, 6-person dining table,
fireplaces, two bathrooms - one full and one three-piece that
includes a shower stall.

The Windsor Arms Hotel can accommodate up to 250 people for
sit-down functions. Fax machine and photocopy is available
through the front desk. The Courtyard Cafe is open daily for
breakfast, lunch, dinner (except Sunday & Monday nights) and
late night dining Tuesday - Saturday. Alex Austriaco is the
Executive Chef; the Chef's table in the kitchen also provides a
unique dining experience.

Kid policies vary by hotels. Some of the hotels are able to
provide a rollaway bed or crib, though there may be an extra
fee. Discreetly tucked away on the 4th and 5th floors is the
hotel's full-service luxurious Darphin Spa, conceived as one of
its kind in North America. The spa, which offers a full range of
world-class aesthetic services, caters to both privileged ladies
and gentlemen. Features include a magnificent pool with grand
fireplace, sauna, steam room, gym, hair salon and individual
treatment rooms. Men and women, even young adults are welcome at
the spa to try its uniquely-designed services, including sports
manicures and pedicures, waxing and facials.

In September 2006, the Robb Report on the world’s most luxurious
hotels chose the Windsor Arms Hotel.

With its trendy and contemporary elegance, the Windsor Arms
Hotel is a perfect blend of Old World charm and modern
decadence. Voted as the leading hotel in Toronto by Conde Nast
Traveler (2007), the Windsor Arms undoubtedly is the preferred
choice of a faithful clientele who gush about the 24-hour butler
service.
