91 Best Hotels in Ontario, Canada

Located in the heart of the city, the hotel was renovated in 2023 and sits across the street from a lively bar scene in the Esplanade area and within walking distance of St. Lawrence Market, Scotiabank Arena, and Union Station. Accommodations feature modern decor, comfortable beds, and LED bathroom mirrors for the perfect selfie.

The on-site restaurant, Café Nicole, serves a hearty breakfast buffet (included in some rates), as well as lunch and dinner.

Steeped in military history, the Olde Angel is one of the oldest lodgings in Ontario. Established in the late 1700s, the colonial coach-house inn burned down during the War of 1812 and was rebuilt in 1816 (another casualty of that war, Captain Colin Swayze, is believed to haunt the inn). Rooms are each quite different in layout, but all have hardwood floors and rustic decor; some have rare pieces, like the Colonel's Suite with its antique Irish bed. The superior accommodations are the private two-story cottages—also historic houses, both built in the 1800s—next door, ideal for two couples or a family.

Toronto’s iconic "King Eddy," a haven for the well-heeled for over a century, remains a popular choice for special occasions, families, solo travelers, and business guests, still evoking a sense of historic grandeur.

Meanwhile, the Consort Bar—once home to the hotel’s original elevator shaft—is a lively social spot, offering an extensive cocktail menu featuring classic signature drinks, wines, and fine spirits.

The spacious guest suites are geared toward extended stays with washer-dryer units and kitchenettes—a small fitness center with a city view, valet parking, 24-hour concierge, and a connection to the PATH are bonuses. Request a suite on Floor 25 or above for breathtaking views of either Lake Ontario, the Toronto Islands, the CN Tower, or the city's sea of skyscrapers.

A 1901 storefront enlivened with a striped awning is the unique facade of this residential-neighborhood B&B.

Other rooms have more traditional and romantic furnishings but are just as creatively tailored to San Francisco, Paris, and London themes. The owners have traveled extensively in Cuba, where they sourced oversize modern-art canvases in the breakfast room and lounge. The storefront window makes for a sunny breakfast room, where individual tables are laid with the day's creation, such as ginger-mango crepes.

About half of the rooms at this Georgian-style mansion have knockout views of the fields of historic Fort George or the placid waters of the marina—ask for one when making a reservation.

Before it opened as an inn, it was a local art gallery, and it still showcases some artwork. Gas fireplaces, wood furnishings, and rich tones of gold and wine add to the upscale elegance of the rooms. All are warmed by fireplaces and have pastoral views of the vineyards or front gardens.
