Having previously spent a couple of nights at the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City I had to wonder if all Fairmont Hotels have front steps and no staff available or willing to help you at the door. Such was the case with our late arrival at the Royal York in May. My husband and I arrived via train before midnight... more

This is the Fairmont chain's flagship hotel and a grand building facing the Toronto Union Station. The hotel is comprised of a central building and an annex which was attached and added later on as part of an expansion.The Royal York is situated atop of the Toronto Subway/Toronto Path underground pedestrian labyrinth, near the CN Tower, a million tourist traps... more

This hotel is perfect. Comfortable, spacious, excellent service, down with easy access to everything. A bit pricey though at full price, but great if you can get a deal, or if you're travelling on business more

Stayed at the RY on June 5th & 6th to see a Blue Jays game and enjoy an extra night in the big city. Base rate was extremely surprising...<$100/night but prepaid over the net!! A lot of searching to find this rate! We knew that there would be additional charges for parking($20/day) and any other items. Join their President's Club... more

The Fairmont Royal York is truly a beautiful old hotel. The lobby and public areas are worth a look even if you don't stay there. The location is in the financial district, directly across the street from the train station. Close to many attractions, though not much going on in the evening. Lots of restaurants as well as the underground... more

Just spent 7 days at the Royal York for a conference. The first day I was charmed by the old architecture and history...after that, it's just another big hotel. First disappointment was finding out I paid $229 per night and a colleague there for the same conference paid $159. Other hotels in the city were offering conference-goers 50% off food... more

We (a small group attending an event in town) booked four rooms for one night: one king and three doubles. Fairmont was offering a tremendous rate for the night as part of its "Be an Original" campaign ($109 Canadian), which made the Royal York less expensive than many inferior properties in the vicinity. Since we were arriving by train, we... more

I stayed only one night at the Royal York, as I was attending a concert at the Air Canada Center. I had arrived by train, and so the location of the hotel, adjacent to the train station, which is adjacent to the Air Canada Center, was perfect. I had originally thought that the Royal York would be very expensive, and... more

We just stayed at the Royal York hotel during Victoria Day long weekend. We got a great deal via expedia.ca ($109 CAD/room per night). We travel often and have stayed in many top hotels, and we found the hotel to be exactly as we had hoped. The room was great (not massive but absolutely fine for two adults). We were... more
