TORONTO
DoubleTree by Hilton today announced the opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Toronto Downtown in the heart of the city’s financial, research and shopping districts.
The former Metropolitan Hotel Toronto has completed a multi-million dollar renovation that will conclude in spring 2014 and includes modern updates across the landmark 26-story, 486-room property. The transformation is being led by the hotel’s new ownership and management company, Bayview Hospitality Group.
As the hotel continues its property-wide renovation, guests will enjoy a steady rollout of updates including modern design enhancements across the hotel and fully-renovated guest rooms featuring stunning views of downtown Toronto. With 13,000 square feet of meeting and banquet facilities and 18 flexible meeting rooms, including a 3,484 square foot ballroom, DoubleTree by Hilton Toronto Downtown is the perfect setting for meetings and events.
Dining Updates:
With a CAA Four Diamond-rated restaurant right on the property, DoubleTree by Hilton Toronto Downtown offers dining options to suit every taste. Hemisphere's Restaurant Bistro offers a combination of culinary styles and ingredients in an upscale atmosphere, marked by sleek décor and modern art accents throughout the restaurant.
Debuting a refreshed food and beverage concept led by 30-year culinary veteran, Chef Raymond Cheung, menu offerings will include a range of gourmet meat and seafood such as seafood linguine with smoked coral sauce, cider glazed Atlantic salmon, smoked paprika marinated steak salad and garlic and thyme brined chicken. The secluded Chef's Table Room provides a view of the show kitchen for small groups. For a more casual ambiance, Hemisphere's Bar provides an intimate setting for a glass of wine or cocktail and a menu of tasty light bites.
Special Amenities:
Among the DoubleTree by Hilton brand exclusives that guests will enjoy are the Wake Up DoubleTree BreakfastTM, an assortment of gourmet in-room tea and coffee offerings from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®, a refreshing array of CITRON body care products by Crabtree & Evelyn and an industry-recognized service culture which is built around the idea of CARE, which stands for Create a Rewarding Experience for guests, team members and the community. CARE is demonstrated from the moment a guest checks in and receives the brand’s warm, chocolate chip cookie welcome.
All rooms have upgraded amenities and the DoubleTree by Hilton Sweet Dreams Sleep Experience. Additional hotel amenities include a 24-hour fitness center, indoor heated pool, sauna, 24-hour complimentary business center and complimentary internet access in public areas.
