Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Cost will keep most away, but for those looking for a splurge (or exercising a corporate account), the Shangri-La Toronto offers the standard high level of service and comfort the chain has become known for.”

Fodors review:

“Shangri-La puts an arty twist on its traditional East-meets-West aesthetic. Witness the stunning Chinese sculpture of a flock of birds taking flight just outside the entrance. Inside, you’ll find natural wooden screens, delicate accents, and large-scale ink paintings.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Toronto.

Forbes review:

“Shangri-La Toronto stands out for its blend of modern luxury with traditional Chinese décor. Throughout the space, the aesthetic relies on natural elements, with plenty of wood and natural stone accents (the 40-ton metal tree statue just outside the hotel symbolizes the integration of nature and city life).”

Telegraph review:

“Brimming with an elegant, international flavour, the warm and welcoming Shangri-La embodies total luxury. Its renowned lobby, luring both locals and travellers, is really an urban living room in the heart of the city, featuring live music every day of the week.”

luxurious 6ix-vacay

luxurious accommodation with a great corner room and view of the CN tower, room service was quick. We had brunch at the lobby lounge with vegan options it was divine, but very pricey! The best luxury staycation destination in toronto! Location is ideal and walking distance to most restaurants and bars

can't find anything that could have been better!

Prime location, clean rooms, cozy beds, and top-notch service. Would definitely book here again!

Room was how it was depicted on the website. Location was central and distance to restaurants, grocery/convenience stores, and clubs were perfect. Facilities in the hotel were clean and had quality equipment. All employees showed great attitude and hospitable service!

Hotel key cards were white/blank with no room # or brand identity. Breakfast food was simple and good, however, a bit pricey and breakfast credit was never applied on checkout.

Birthday staycation !

Booked a staycation to celebrate my birthday. I’ve stayed at Shangri-la a few times and my experience has been amazing ! the staff are incredibly friendly and the location is absolutely breathtaking. From valet parking to in house keeping they were very thorough about everything. I ended up extending my stay for one night and they were very accommodating. I definitely will be back soon !!

Every inch of the hotel is beautiful.

Subpar

Room cleanliness and comfort were 5 star

Reception and restaurant staff service was subpar for a 5 star property. Disappointed with our dinner at Bosk (salades looked premade), wine bottles was brought cold to the table, but breakfast was good. I prefer the Ritz Carlton over your property.

Not worth it

The hotel scheduled maintenance that shut off all power from midnight until 6am which meant we had to pack, shower and dress by light of the emergency flashlight. There was no notification of this in advance other than a discreet note left on the desk of our room at turndown service, mere hours before said power outage. Service at the restaurant was incredibly slow and the food was poor. They offered fresh squeezed juice and poured tropicana into glasses. There was a lot of dust in the room. Everything was just “ok” and mediocre. Not worth what we paid.

Pleasant

Nice room

Felt like the lobby staff/ concierge was looking at me and my friends like weren’t guests at the hotel? They asked us every time if we have a room key?! As south Asian females we Felt somewhat racially profiled. Constantly getting stares at by the lobby staff and we weren’t even bringing any attention to us or talking loud. In short , I don’t think I will be staying here again due to the staff constantly staring at us and being a part of a minority group I didn’t feel comfortable which was kind of disappointing. Other than that- the hotel is beautiful and very luxurious.

unpleasant and expensive experience, spoke with staff at the time and submitted reviews to hotel but never received a r

modern, clean, good location

Unable to use a lot of the hotel facilities due to TIFF film festival, a lot of areas were closed off to guests, obstructed from moving around hotel and questioned often by security guards as we weren’t there for the film festival. Struggled to get a table even to get a cocktail to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Very disappointing experience compared to stay at the london branch in the shard.
