Best Luxury Hotels in Fashion District

In the lively King West Village, 1 Hotel Toronto brings a nature-inspired retreat to one of the city’s most dynamic neighbourhoods. The property features 112 rooms and suites, each thoughtfully designed with reclaimed materials, soft organic linens, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the Toronto skyline. Inside, the aesthetic is calm and tactile, blending natural textures with contemporary comfort, while lush greenery throughout the building blurs the boundary between indoors and out. Dining is a highlight, from the farm-to-table focus of 1 Kitchen to Casa Madera’s fusion of Mexican and Mediterranean flavours, and the buzzing energy of Harriet’s Rooftop, where cocktails are paired with sweeping city views. For quieter moments, Flora Lounge offers an elegant hideaway. Wellness is at the core of the hotel’s ethos, with a rooftop pool, holistic spa treatments, and a 24-hour fitness centre. Its location makes it an ideal base for exploring the Entertainment District, the CN Tower, and the waterfront, all just a short walk away.

Found in the arty Garment District, downtown Toronto, this building by Shim-Sutcliffe Architects is a contemporary design masterpiece. On arrival, guests staying at the North American chain are greeted by a lobby suspended from imposing concrete arches, with an interior that offers an urban industrial vibe. Yet it’s homely too, with warm hues, local artworks and vintage furnishings alongside custom-made pieces found in 123 bedrooms, or ‘cabins’ as they’re described at Ace. Alder is the hotel’s main dining space (you can also tuck into pastries and grab a coffee in the sociable lobby lounge), a subterranean, sophisticated spot, that tails the indoor/outdoor rooftop bar, Evangeline, at the top.
