Intercontinental vs Hilton
 

We have a wedding at The Intercontinental Hotel in August. We already have a reservation at The Hilton Hotel but are now considering altering it to The Intercontinental. Would appreciate some input as to which one is best.

damedonna, your post is still active down the list.....

sorry to be a nuisance but the reason I posted again was because my original post isn't showing on my messages so thought my message hadn't gone through. Can you tell me what advice I'm being given please?

can see the replies now, many thanks

I can't tell you about the inside of the hotels but: (1) one side of the Hilton downtown currently faces a construction site; (2) the Inter-Continental is on the edge of Yorkville (glitzy shops, people-watching (rich people, that is), chi chi restaurants - but also near the museums, a pretty and lively residential neighbourhood called the Annex (beside University of Toronto); the Hilton is close to downtown sights (the CN Tower, theatres, nightclubs, funky Queen St West) in the central business district but I find it a little soulless (except for Queen West) on weekends; but (3) the two hotels are only about 10 minutes apart by car (in traffic; 5 minutes without) - in other words, you'll be in the centre of the city in either location. Without comparing hotel amenities, I'd pick the Hilton in winter (it's very convenient to everything) and the Inter-Continental in summer (it's in a neighbourhood where you'd sit outside on a patio).
