I didn't stay here... Are you kidding? I'd like to, but let's be real. I just walked by and was able to take a picture, and not such a good one at that, but I'll share it with you anyway! This is one of the oldest and most well-known hotels in Toronto having been built in 1929 in the grand tradition. I can't tell you about the ammenities but I can tell you that many famous people stayed here and do still, and Lady Jane tells us that Queen Elizabeth and the Royal Family have a suite (suites) reserved at all times just for them and their royal persons. It is located directly across from Union Station so it is easy for the royals to run out and catch a train or subway to their next royal event... are you royally with me on this? ;-) In any case, it is a landmark of Toronto and the architecture is most fitting. You must respect the history and visual effects of a Grand Hotel such as this, even if you never, ever get to stay here. But, you never know... you could win the lottery, I suppose!

Walk out the front entrance, pull out that wad of cash or high limit credit card, and march yourself inside and wonder who has done what in the very room that you stay here! Makes you think though!Website: www.fairmont.com
