The Omni King Edward Hotel

An absolutely stunning hotel with large rooms. The lobby itself is a marvel and the staff is great. The rooms could use some tiny updates, but truly a great hotel.

This is my favorite place to stay in Toronto, because it is the type of hotel where you feel that every detail has been carefully considered. The recently renovated rooms are spacious and comfortable, but the hotel maintains its historic character. The easy online check in is also incredibly convenient, while proximity to the financial district makes it a great choice for business travelers.

The King Eddy is simply divine. With great design and decor. The lobby is beautiful, and large with big purple seating, reading nooks, high ceilings and pics of the hotels 'royalness'.

Rooms are beautiful. Super comfy beds, very, very clean, and a great breakfast as well as a scrumptious brunch.

The hotel is within walking distance to Dundas Square, The Lakeshore, Harbourfront, CN Tower, the Entertainment/Theatre districts and many other great sights within the city.

It's not often you find turn of the century (the 20th that is) architecture in Toronto - even more rare is having the opportunity to stay somewhere that's well over 100 years old. The King Edward (used to be affectionately known as "King Eddy") has been around since 1903, which becomes obvious when you walk into the grand lobby - spacious, elegant and very well maintained. The staff here are lovely and helpful - they won't stick their noses up if you saunter in with dirty running shoes. Many of the rooms have just been renovated (August) and are a very welcome update - bright and modern (but not too modern). The bathrooms are really nice here too - especially the mirrors (check my pic). The location isn't bad either - few minutes walk to union station, not far from the CN Tower and big downtown attractions and a nice walk to St Lawrence Market and the Distillery District.

Located within the financial district of Toronto, the Omni King Edward Hotel is where you go if you want to feel like royalty. As soon as I walked in I felt like a king, where I was greeted right away by a gentleman in a suit and asked if he could help. The grandiose lobby fit the royalty bill as well, with an extra high ceiling, tons of space, and a portrait of a king to top the whole thing off.

The hotel has been open since 1903 but was partially renovated over the summer (5 floors), with the rest scheduled for completion next year. This mix of old and new is definitely reflected in the rooms, which are luxurious but have just an edge of style. Anyone needing some luxurious comfort, perhaps on a business trip, will feel right at home here.

Look at this view!!! There is a top floor hidden gem event space that has been closed for 50 years! We must get this space opened again soon!! Awesome hotel with tons of old world style and modern amenities.
