Towering above Toronto’s fashionable Yorkville neighborhood, Four Seasons’ global flagship feels every inch the brand’s crown jewel. Situated just down the road from the original 1960s location, the high-rise tower was built from the ground up in 2012, its 55 stories rising above the leafy enclaves of Rosedale and Forest Hill and the luxury boutiques of the Mink Mile. In 2024, the hotel unveiled a multimillion-dollar renovation of its 259 rooms, where color palettes draw inspiration from Canadian landscapes and every piece of furniture is designed and manufactured in Canada in collaboration with artisans and textile makers. Throughout the property, more than 1,700 original works by Canadian artists add another layer of place-based storytelling.
The F&B was conceived by celebrated French chef Daniel Boulud, whose convivial, art-filled Café Boulud serves three meals a day alongside a six-course tasting menu and a beloved Wednesday rotisserie special. And during the Toronto International Film Festival, the hotel buzzes with A-listers and directors who come to unwind at the property’s 30,000-square-foot spa—the city’s largest—which encompasses 19 treatment rooms, a eucalyptus-scented steam room, sauna, indoor pool and hot tub, state-of-the-art gym, and a Bio Bar offering alternative therapies ranging from physic readings to TCM.
