Visiting film and stage stars still stay here because of Sutton Place's commitment to service and privacy. Tapestries, swaths of floral arrangements, antiques, and plush chairs fill the public areas. Guest rooms, all recently refurbished in tan and navy tones, have a French provincial-style with cut-crystal bedside lamps and some antiques. A chiropractic sleep system guarantees that you awaken refreshed. Luxury suites come with full kitchens and whirlpool baths. It's near the Church-Wellesley neighborhood, the Royal Ontario Museum, trendy Yorkville shops, the Eaton Centre, and an array of excellent ethnic restaurants. Accents, the main floor restaurant, is popular for a nosh and a glass of wine, or something as elaborate as the tasty poached lobster with scallops, shrimp, and baby vegetables. You can also venture across the street to the popular Bistro 990. Pros: close to University of Toronto, helpful concierges, valet parking. Cons: some rooms have dated furnishings, limited room service menu, slightly faded glamour.
