The YukonHome/Where to stay/Toronto/5-star hotels
5-star hotels in Toronto
A shortlist of 5-star hotels in Toronto, drawn from the city's top-rated luxury addresses in Yorkville, the financial core and the entertainment district. It is for travellers weighing upscale stays by guest rating, facilities and how close each hotel sits to the centre.
Staying in Toronto
Toronto mixes a dense downtown core with quieter, greener pockets just north of it. The TTC subway, streetcars and buses cover the city, and the PATH underground network links many downtown buildings so you can move through the core without going outside. The Distillery District, Kensington Market, the Royal Ontario Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario sit among the draws, and the waterfront and Toronto Islands offer a change of pace. Yorkville, an upscale neighbourhood of high-end shopping, galleries and fine dining just north of downtown, holds Four Seasons Hotel Toronto and The Hazelton Hotel Toronto on Yorkville Avenue, plus Park Hyatt Toronto on Avenue Rd and QuickStay Enchantment in Yorkville. The rest sit downtown: The St. Regis Toronto on Bay Street, Shangri La Toronto and The Ritz Carlton Toronto near the centre, Bisha and 1 Hotel Toronto in the entertainment district, and Fairmont Royal York Hotel on Front Street West. Couples and short-break visitors tend to favour the Yorkville pair and the downtown grande dames; families have room to spread out at the larger hotels.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Toronto is served by Toronto Pearson International Airport, west of the city, and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport on the downtown waterfront. Pearson is connected to downtown by the UP Express train, which runs frequently. Within the city, the TTC operates subways, streetcars and buses; a PRESTO card or contactless payment is used for fares. The PATH, an underground pedestrian network, connects many downtown buildings, making it possible to navigate the core without going outside. Taxis and ride-sharing services are widely available. Driving is an option, but traffic can be heavy, and parking is limited in the core.
When to go
The best time to visit Toronto is during the summer months of June to August, when the weather is warm and many outdoor festivals and events take place. Spring and autumn are also pleasant, with milder temperatures and fewer crowds. Winter can be cold, with temperatures often below freezing, but the city remains active with indoor attractions and winter sports. For a stay built around Yorkville galleries and downtown dining, the milder spring and autumn weeks keep the streets busy without summer heat.
