Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Toronto
Expert reviews
“The Royal York is the Grand Dame of Toronto’s hotel scene, an imposing stone and copper-roofed structure that’s firmly anchored in a sea of steel and glass. It’s been a star since it officially opened in 1929, a favorite for royalty, celebrities, movie directors and regular folk.”
“Dominating the skyline for decades after it was built in 1929, the Royal York is the Canadian grande dame of the Fairmont chain. Amping up the luxury factor has kept the hotel in step with the times, a storied icon with a modern outlook. Recent guests have included members of the British Royal Family.”

Fantastic stay

It was within walking distance to all the attractions we wanted to do.
Staff were very kind, helpful and accommodating. From the front desk, to the bellmen and housekeeping staff.
There was absolutely no place to unpack our clothes. There was only 1 drawer in the night stand. The rooms really need some dressers. At the price we pay,we should have a place to put our clothes.

Very good
Paid over $1000.00 to stay here for the night with everything included and there was a bathtub in the bathroom of my hotel room. Update the bathrooms to glass showers unless you have a separate shower/bathtub. For the price of the room that’s unacceptable. Otherwise stay was great.

Everything! Beautiful hotel! Room had comfortable bed and plenty of space. We had requested a roll away bed and fridge.Staff were super friendly and helpful.

Fabulous
This was our first stop on the cross Canada trip and the most luxurious. The hotel has tons of history and is in a very central area of Toronto. Great for being walkable to view the city. Comfortable beds and good sized room. The staff was a bit unapproachable but we did not have any issues.

Underwhelmed by facility, but very satisfied with staff.
Staff was absolutely excellent
Hotel is getting run down and maintenance is being overlooked. Stained curtains Furniture worn Very low water pressure Bathroom fixtures look like they are out of a motel I would expect to pay no more than 200 dollars a night for a hotel in this condition not over 500

I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a luxurious hotel in a wonderful City
I didn't realise how prestigious the Fairmont Royal York Hotel was before we arrived. I had upgraded to the Fairmont Gold Experience for our 4-night stay. From arriving at the front door to reception, and being taken to our room, it was first-class. The Fairmont Gold Lounge on the 18th Floor was a luxury well worth the upgrade, featuring a Deluxe breakfast station, Afternoon Tea, Evening Hors D'oeuvres, and Canapés, along with great city views. We made sure not to miss any of these. Bars and Restaurants are exceptional, staff are friendly and very proud of the hotel. Check out the pictures of Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh, who visited on 2 occasions, I believe. I have travelled overseas to many hotels, and the Fairmont Royal York is Number 1 !!
To be honest, everything was 1st Class

Truly a 5 star experince .
The staff were extremely helpful and professional. The facilities were impeccable and the location was amazing. The private lounge and check-in on the 18th floor were very comfortable and a great addition to the Fairmont Gold experience.

Disappointing for a staple establishment
The location is convenient relative to key attractions, especially baseball stadium, hockey hall of fame. The service at check-in was exceptional (Mr Nazir was a pleasure)
Parking is $100 / day and not clearly advertised as such (only told at checkout); room was not clean (hair in bathroom, dusty room); facilities are tired - furniture in the room is worn down etc.

Stayed one night and the location of this facility was perfect. Who can ask for a beautiful hotel to be beside the train

the fairmont hotels are always a great idea
The location was fabulous, the staff are second to none
i loved everything! it is pricey but for a one night treat well worth it!
23 July 2025
A delightful experience.
The breakfast was a lot more expensive than I would normally pay, but the quality of the food, the efficiency and politeness of the staff and the general ambiance of the restaurant won me over! The location of the hotel was perfect as I was using Union station every day. Overall it is a very classy hotel.
Difficult to find fault but if there was anything and it’s a minor gripe, when I came back to the room most of the lights were on and could have been for a long time as I was, generally, back in the early evening. Multiple that by 1300 rooms and potentially thats a very large extra on the electricity bill.
23 July 2025
Nice and cozy
Enjoyed the location.
The security guy prohibited me from taking pictures with my camera, thinking it was too professional. So untrue. Didn’t understand that we could do about the same with our iPhone. I totally disagreed with his decision.

From the smooth check-in to the indulgent turndown service and elevated Gold perks, Fairmont Gold was a standout stay I’
My stay at Fairmont Gold was seamless from start to finish. Check-in was smooth, and the welcome warm and genuine. The turndown service and thoughtful extra amenities that come with Gold really stood out. Breakfast offered a great variety overall, the experience was thoroughly enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back.
I missed my arrival cocktail, but that’s a minor detail also breakfast was chaotic in the lounge.

It was a nice stay. Comfortable and centrally located. Just think you should have free WiFi!
It was a beautiful hotel and located right in the middle of everything!
The only thing we didn’t like was that there wasn’t free WiFi. We’ve never been to a hotel that didn’t offer guests free WiFi so we were disappointed in that.

Location, clean rooms and facilities, excellent restaurant and bar, amazing decor.

13 July 2025
Our preferred place to stay with always exceptional staff.
Excellent location exactly in the middle of all the attractions we were interested in visiting. Multiple trips to the GTA and this is our preferred place to book at.
Downside is being opposite Union Station which at times is very congested with over hurried Ubers,taxis,Lyft drivers whom I’m convinced are former Formula One or Indy Car drivers who still think York street is the racetrack. Makes me wonder if I need to start wearing my hockey gear while walking down the front of Front street!

Perfect location

Clean, but some smaller items should be included. Like wifi and a fridge to store your water
Nice room, very clean.
Having to pay for Wifi???? In this day and age??? And having to pay for a fridge separately?? Why?? Ridiculous.
