Expectations always elevate a little when staying in a flagship luxury hotel, but I knew there was zero chance mine wouldn’t be met or exceeded at Four Seasons Hotel Toronto. Four Seasons began in Toronto and still keeps its global headquarters here, and this Yorkville hotel holds Forbes Five-Star ratings for both the hotel and its spa.
I stayed here before the renovation, and I still book it for clients. I love this location more than almost anywhere else in Toronto, and chic stores and restaurants are so close that you won’t dust up designer shoes walking to them from the hotel. I also lived in the Four Seasons Hong Kong apartments for almost five years, and I measure every hotel stay against that.
Choosing a room is the main decision here. The standard rooms are all 500 to 515 square feet, so the floor you book decides the view, and because every guest room tops out at two adults and one child, a family of four needs a one-bedroom suite or a second room.

What I Love
- Forbes Five-Star hotel and Five-Star spa, one of only four Five-Star hotels in Toronto (2026 Forbes Travel Guide).
- Prime Yorkville location, steps from boutiques, galleries, and some of the city’s best restaurants.
- Café Boulud and d|bar put Daniel Boulud’s cooking inside the hotel, so you don’t have to leave for a serious meal.
Good to Know
- About 35 minutes by car from Toronto Pearson International Airport.
- Breakfast at Café Boulud is à la carte only, no buffet, so build in extra time.
- Double bed rooms have actual doubles, not queens, which matters if two adults or teens are sharing.
Yorkville Location
For posh jetsetters and the fashionably inclined, I’m not sure there’s a better home base in Toronto. Though I arrived close to midnight, bleary-eyed from a long flight, my brain relaxed the second the valet opened my taxi door. As I was ushered through the elegant art-filled lobby to the check-in desk, I caught a glimpse of the stunning flower arrangements along the way.
The next morning I stepped into Yorkville’s shopping zone, about a five-minute walk from the hotel. The streets are lined with boutiques and cute cafés worth wandering into, and Bay subway station has an entrance on Bellair Street, a short walk from the hotel, if you want to explore further afield.
I believe you can sometimes gauge the quality of your experience at a luxury hotel based on the flowers, and Four Seasons Toronto doesn’t disappoint. The floral displays came from Teatro Verde, a home and garden store in Toronto, and I would love for this store to have at it with my house.
Holt Renfrew is around the corner, and the stretch of Bloor Street between Avenue Road and Yonge has Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and more. The hotel’s concierge also lends guests designer handbags from its own collection at no charge, first come, first served. The Royal Ontario Museum is a short walk away.
Insider Tips · Getting Around
- The hotel is about 35 minutes by car from Toronto Pearson and about 15 minutes from Billy Bishop, the island airport downtown. The CN Tower is about a 10-minute drive.
- The hotel is not connected to Toronto’s underground PATH walkway, so plan on time outdoors when you head downtown in winter.
- Valet parking is charged per night. If the car will mostly sit during your stay, compare it with the city-run Green P garage on Yorkville Avenue.
- If most of your plans are downtown, the Ritz-Carlton, near the Entertainment District, is closer to the CN Tower, the aquarium, the theaters, and the convention center.
Best Time to Visit
Summer, from June through August, is when the patios open, the terrace beside the pool is at its best, and Yorkville is comfortable to walk at any hour. September brings the Toronto International Film Festival, when the neighborhood fills with premieres and celebrity sightings, so book early if your dates overlap TIFF.
Winter is cold, and the hotel lends Canada Goose jackets in women’s and men’s styles for the length of your stay. Guest Relations will match you with one, which helps if you’re flying in from somewhere warm and would rather not pack a bulky coat. Spring weather can be unpredictable, so pack layers.
Which Room to Book
Four Seasons Toronto has 259 rooms and suites across floors 4 through 21, including 42 suites. Deluxe, Premier, and Yorkville Premier rooms are all 515 square feet, and the Superior is 500, so the difference between them is mostly floor level and view. Each comes with a king bed or two double beds, and those are actual double beds, not queens, which can feel tight if two adults or teens are sharing.
Room Booking Tips
Four Seasons publishes the same maximum for every guest room here, whichever bedding you pick: two adults, or two adults and one child, with one crib. The only standard rooms that take a rollaway are the two accessible categories, which sleep three adults. A fourth bed means a suite with a sofabed, or a second room, so send me your dates and I’ll confirm what your room allows before you book.
Rooms on floors 4 through 8 cost less, and most of them look onto neighboring buildings. Accessible rooms, both with a king bed, are available in the Premier and Superior categories.
Sleeps two adults, or two adults and one child, with one crib available. King bed or two double beds, 515 square feet on floors 10 through 21 with west and east city views. You’re high enough to see over the neighboring buildings.
Sleeps two adults, or two adults and one child, with one crib available. King bed or two double beds, 500 square feet on floors 4 through 8, west-facing. It’s a good choice if you’re mostly out exploring and don’t need a skyline view.
Sleeps two adults, or two adults and one child, with one crib available. King bed or two double beds, 515 square feet on floors 4 through 8, east-facing with fountain views.
Sleeps two adults, or two adults and one child, with one crib available. King bed or two double beds, 515 square feet on floors 10 through 21, facing northeast or northwest over the neighborhood.
Sleeps up to four as a one-bedroom, three adults and one child or two adults and two children, on the king bed plus the living room sofabed. 670 square feet as a one-bedroom (1,170 as a two-bedroom) with windows on two sides from the corner placement, plus a half bathroom off the hallway so whoever sleeps in the living area has their own restroom.
Sleeps up to four as a one-bedroom, the same way. 670 square feet as a one-bedroom (1,170 as a two-bedroom), same layout as the Corner One-Bedroom Suite without the corner windows.
Sleeps up to four, three adults and one child or two adults and two children. 725 square feet on floors 10 through 19. A good option for couples who want suite space with higher-floor views. These don’t connect to adjacent rooms, so they won’t work if you’re booking multiple rooms for a group.
Sleeps up to four as a one-bedroom, three adults and one child or two adults and two children. 1,040 square feet as a one-bedroom (up to 1,555 square feet as a two-bedroom) on floors 15 through 17, in corner locations with light from multiple directions and a living and dining area.
Sleeps up to four as a one-bedroom, three adults and one child or two adults and two children. 1,395 square feet as a one-bedroom (1,910 as a two-bedroom) on floor 19 with a full kitchen, which suits extended stays and families who would rather not eat every meal out. Four Seasons will connect a Bellair Suite to an adjoining guest room on request.
2,120 square feet as a one-bedroom, 2,790 as a two-bedroom, and 3,305 as a three-bedroom, on the 20th floor, with a dining table for eight, a fully equipped kitchen, a lounge area with a bar, and views over Yorkville and Rosedale.
2,635 square feet as a one-bedroom, 3,305 as a two-bedroom, and 3,820 as a three-bedroom, on the 21st floor, the top of the hotel. Four bathrooms, a private office, a study, a dining table for eight, a fully equipped kitchen, and corner city views.
My Room Experience
When I stayed, I loved the color palette of neutrals and dark wood paired with muted blues and greens, and the rounded corner sofa made it possible to sit and chat when a friend stopped by, which often happens when we travel.
Rooms now have automated drapes, dimmable lighting, and a wireless charger at each nightstand. Works by Canadian artists hang across the hotel, which has more than 1,700 pieces in its collection.
The Canadiana art theme runs throughout the hotel. I’m partial to the dandelions. The display above the reception desk represents dandelions against the sky with a few petals floating in the wind.
Bathrooms have a freestanding soaking tub, Le Labo bath amenities, and a walk-in rain shower. Every room also has a Nespresso machine, a programmable Corvo tea kettle, a press steamer, and a curated “MyBar” stocked with local products including SOMA chocolate from Toronto and Niagara wines.
The WiFi worked well, and I (per usual) forgot my hairbrush and a couple of other small amenities, which were delivered quickly after I called housekeeping. Housekeeping comes twice a day, with evening turndown.
Insider Tips · Rooms
- Request a corner room in any standard category. You’ll get windows on two sides and noticeably more natural light, and it costs nothing extra to ask.
- If you need connecting rooms, book through me rather than online, because we can usually guarantee connecting rooms. Standard guest rooms and the Bellair Suite connect, and the Premier One-Bedroom Suite does not.
Four Seasons Hotel Toronto Dining
With the signature restaurant under the direction of Michelin-starred Daniel Boulud, it’s no surprise that the food was exquisite.
Café Boulud
I ate breakfast at Café Boulud a few times. I wish I could take credit for ordering the duck confit below (a friend did), but my birchermuesli was delicious.
Café Boulud is a French brasserie on the second floor, and its windows over Yorkville fill the room with natural light, especially in the morning. The setting is upscale without being stuffy. The menu changes with the seasons and leans on local ingredients, and a tasting menu is available.
Weekend brunch is popular, so book ahead. Breakfast is à la carte only, with no buffet, so allow extra time.
d|bar
d|bar is a fabulous place to come for a drink (my friend spotted a TV celebrity I didn’t recognize), but don’t miss the housemade charcuterie and sausages. I sampled mouthwatering pâté, cured meats, mustards, artisan breads, and more, all paired with excellent wine, of course.
More Dining Options
Le Café, tucked inside d|bar, serves lattes and pastries made in-house by the hotel’s pastry team.
Cloud 9 Oasis Terrace, beside the pool on the ninth floor, serves light, healthy food with views of the city skyline. It is open only to hotel guests, spa guests, and residents.
In-Room Dining
I’m kicking myself for not ordering the poutine. Because I was in meetings all day, I opted for light and healthy options several times. Gluten-free bread is available too. I noticed all orders were delivered a bit quicker than promised. They also have a kids’ menu.
Spa, Pool, and Fitness
The spa covers 30,000 square feet and holds its own Forbes Five-Star rating, separate from the hotel’s. I was treated to a facial and am not sure there’s a better place in the city to face jet lag head-on. My skin did a complete 180 after being dried out in-flight, and I nearly fell asleep as my therapist massaged my face, head, and shoulders.
Leave time after your treatment for the relaxation area. The hotel’s contemporary decor and art carry into the spa.
Book spa treatments and dinner at Café Boulud or d|bar before you arrive. Toronto locals use the spa and the restaurants too, so weekend and holiday times, along with the most-requested therapists, can be gone even when the hotel itself has rooms.
The indoor pool is on the ninth floor, with a hot tub, a steam room, poolside loungers, and floor-to-ceiling windows over the city. The hotel offers scheduled family swim hours on weekends and holidays. If you want a quiet swim, go outside those hours.
I didn’t make it to the fitness center on the eighth floor. It was recently redesigned, includes a movement studio, and is open 24 hours for hotel guests and residents.
Traveling with Kids
Kids get their own welcome gift, and the hotel offers these family amenities:
- Child-size bathrobes and slippers
- Complimentary baby and children’s toiletries
- In-room movies with popcorn, plus board games
- A Nintendo Switch or a Yoto player, on request and subject to availability
- A kids’ backpack
- Candy and toy vending machines
The concierge will also plan itineraries around your kids’ ages and interests and book family dinner reservations.
FAQs About Four Seasons Hotel Toronto
Is Four Seasons Hotel Toronto pet-friendly?
Yes. The hotel welcomes cats, dogs, and other domesticated animals up to 25 pounds. Ask about current pet fees and policies when you book.
Is breakfast included, and what’s the dining style like?
Daily breakfast for two is included when you book the Four Seasons Preferred Partner rate through me. Café Boulud serves breakfast à la carte only, with no buffet, so build in extra time, especially on weekends when brunch draws a crowd.
Is Four Seasons Hotel Toronto connected to the PATH system?
No. The hotel is not connected to Toronto’s underground PATH walkway, so you’ll walk outside between the hotel and downtown attractions. This matters most in winter. Bay subway station has an entrance on Bellair Street, a short walk from the hotel.
How far is the hotel from the airport?
About 35 minutes by car from Toronto Pearson International Airport, and about 15 minutes from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport downtown.
Does Four Seasons Hotel Toronto have a Forbes rating?
Yes. It holds Forbes Five-Star ratings for both the hotel and the spa, and it is one of only four Five-Star hotels in Toronto, according to the 2026 Forbes Travel Guide.
Which rooms connect for families or groups?
Standard guest rooms are your best bet, since not every room type connects. The Bellair Suite can connect to an adjoining guest room on request, and the Premier One-Bedroom Suite does not connect. Suites also come in two- and three-bedroom configurations if you’d rather keep everyone in one unit. When you book through me, we can usually guarantee connecting rooms.
