  • 21. Grand Central

    Downtown

    "Grand" is the right word to describe this antiques emporium—it's filled to the brim with elegant chandeliers and candelabras, armchairs and secretaries, and other decorative elements from the 18th and 19th centuries. These items would add a touch of refinement to almost any home.

  • 23. Holt Renfrew Ogilvy

    Downtown

    These two iconic Canadian luxury department stores (Holt Renfrew and Ogilvy) merged into one brand, undergoing a monumental expansion of the original Ogilvy building. Unveiled as Holt Renfrew Ogilvy in 2019, the posh department store is linked, physically, to the equally glamorous Four Seasons Hotel, also opened in 2019. The exclusive mega-store features loads of clean, white-on-white decor (white pillars, white walls, white floors, white marble), showcasing fashions and accessories for men and women from the world’s premier designer labels. Many of these are housed in intimate, partitioned boutique settings within the larger department store. On the fifth floor, clients can enjoy a private shopping experience in one of five personal shopping suites. Especially noteworthy is the new Café Holt, all 1940s Hollywood-inspired glamour, with a remarkable light that recalls a solar orb set above a square orange bar, Breccia Pernice marble and chocolate wood surfaces, and gently curved seating in plush orange velvet upholstery. The café menu emphasizes fresh, local ingredients, with the chef highlighting his Canadian and international influences.
