ytthere's three main choices, plus others.
YORKVILLE, inthe Bloor and Yonge area, is home to several museums, including the Royal Ontario Museum and the Bata Show Museum. Three of Toronto's five best hotels are there. Expensive stores, two excellent book shops, lots of commercial art galleries. Fine area. Intercontinental on Bloor Street, Quality Hotel on Bloor, Marriott Yorkville are the trhee best mid-range hotels. Four Seasons, Windsor Arms, Park Hyatt are the best.
Then there's the Yonge Street from College to Front strip. Some live theatre, good to very good restaurants, lots of mid-priced shopping. Days Inn, Courtyard Marriott, Eaton Centre Marriott, Metropolitan, Delta Chelsea, Pantages, Hotel Victoria, Novatel on The Esplanade are all good. Royal York and King Edward are premium priced.
Close by: The Entertainment District. Sheraton Center, Intercontinental on Front, Holiday Inn on King, Soho Metropolitan, Le Germain. Ner clubs, more restaurants in all price ranges, funkier shopping...
In the days I used to stay in hotels,usually spending other people's money, my choices depended on what I was going to do on business, usually, but the neighborhood mattered for social purposes; Four Seasons, Windsor Arms, Delta Chelsea were the most frequent.
But any of the three areas are excellent,a nd you can easily get to the other parts.
