We review hotels in Toronto, Ontario, with the best club or executive lounges. Whether you are traveling as a couple, a family, or a single business traveler, we conclude which hotel club lounge is best for you and has the best club lounge in Toronto.
Toronto hosts some of the country’s most innovative and diverse culinary offerings. The pedestrian-only Distillery District, set in re-purposed 19th-century whiskey distillery buildings and cobblestone-lined streets, is home to indie bars, boutiques, art galleries, and outside patios. Thrill-seekers will be impressed by the CN Towers Edge Walk.
The best time to visit Toronto is in the summer months. June through September are the busiest in Toronto, so to avoid the crowds, time your visit in April through May or September through October, when you’ll benefit from lovely weather but a quieter experience.
You can fly directly to Toronto from London or most major American airport hubs. Direct flights from New York take an hour and a half, and from Los Angeles, you are looking at under four and a half hours.
