A older upscale hotel in the downtown area
The first room we stayed in was rather small, but nice. We moved to another room which was more modern and a bit larger.
We were in a group rate for a wedding, I think it was $129/night.
Suites run about $500.
Unique Quality: The valet service was excellent. they were very helpful
There is a shuttle to the island airport.

AMAZING AS USUAL!!!
As Torontonians living in the UK whenever we visit home we always opt for the Royal York and it has never disappointed. Attentive and glam from start to finish we have many fond memories as we also opted to have our wedding reception here! If you book online in advance you get great rates and we have found that most of the time you get a room upgrate for free. It's steeped in history (unlike may of the other hotels here) and walking distance from most Toronto sights. Love it from start to finish and would never consider anywhere else!
Unique Quality: Pool
Fab views from Front St

Toronto's best location
We returned from staying a week at the Fairmont Royal York. And would positively stay there again. The location is unbeatable. Besides having a subway entrance in the Lobby (Union Station) it is connected to the Underground City and located a few blocks from St Lawrence Market so shopping for food was an easy deal. There is a coffee pot and refrig in the room which allowed us to eat breakfast in the room everyday and get an early start to see the city.
We had a newly renovated bathroom and the furnishings in the room were clean and attended to perfectly every day. Also the pool was restricted only to adults between 9-10 PM.

Conveniently Located
Stayed there for 6 nights in August 2009.
Most ridiculous thing is that they charge you for internet except if you are on the executive floor.
Overall Excellent service (very average when I checked in), nice bath products, clean rooms.
After all, this is a fairmount hotel, greatness is expected.
Understand this is the perfect hotel when you're in for Business. If you're visiting Toronto for leisure, this hotel is in the business district (nothing to do past business hours).
Given the hotel's reputation, the rooms could use some nice upgrades (flat screens would be nice), and the bathroom could be redesigned or refurbished at least.
I wouldn't recommend the hotel's pool. Dirty and full of screaming kids.
On the other hand, the gym is cool and the sauna is pretty nice.

The Grand old Queen
So many years ago, splurged for my one night stopover en-route to Montreal. YVR to YYZ by Canadian the CNN or CPR to Place Bonaventure
The Royal York is a Toronto must stopover, even for a cuppa in the late afternoon
It was part of the CPR to have a hotel across the road from the Union Station, so travel across Canda, and the oxidised copper roofs and similar masonary landmarks will tell you who developed the Hotel or where the station is.
Unique Quality: An imposing building, lots of wood and leather,
contrasted by the then brand new Royal Bank glass edifice,
kippers and poached eggs for breakfast
an expensive but worthwhile and memorable stopover.
must try to get a bargain weekened again
Rocky H. Aok's. Benihana Restaurant was already there

One of Toronto's Most Glamourous Hotel's
The Fairmont Royal York Hotel is one of the most historic and to many most glamourous hotels in Toronto. The hotel was originally built in 1929 by Canadian Pacific Railroads. Like the other hotels that were built by CPR and subsequently bought by Fairmont, this is a massive hotel with more than 1,000 rooms. The hotel itself as you see it from harbour (where I took the exterior photograph) is quite eyecatching. Apparently when it was built back in 1929, this was the tallest building in Canada. Off course it is now dwarfed by the nearby skyscrapers but still has an appealing back drop with the other massive towers behind it.
The interior of the hotel features a superlative main lobby which is designed to look like a Romanesque castle. The service is said to be excellent and there are five restaurants and four bars here to entertain you. I have never spent the night here but I have visited friends staying here which is where I have my one complaint about the hotel, the rooms are a bit small for my liking. They are well decorated but still I need some walking room.
The Fairmont Royal York is very popular with tour groups, especially those from Asia who seem to love the old world feel of the place.

Pomp and Circumstance
The Royal York has been in business since 1929, and was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway company as the largest hotel in the Commonwealth (Union Station had been inaugurated by the Prince of Wales two years earlier). The site, however, had been used for various hotels of much smaller proportions since 1853. It has 28 floors and the original plan contained 1048 rooms - although there was a massive ($100 million) renovation conducted between 1988 and 1993, which may have altered that number. The hotel has, essentially, any service you might ever need, from hairdressing to catering to gift shops, laundries and fitness facilities. It doesn't come cheap, though - the best available rate for a single person per night in late August is CAD270.
Unique Quality: The Fairmont Royal York is one of those hotels that could probably be put into either the accomodation or the things to do category. This is one of the most famous hotels in Canada and has a long history. Organizations that want to impress visitors or conference participants will put up guests here or throw banquets in one of the many banquet rooms. If you stay here you can certainly say that you have had a unique Toronto experience.

The Royal York
I hadn't actually stayed at the Royal York as of yet but I intend to probably the next time I am in Toronto. I thought I would put up a tip anyway because I did get this nice picture and explored around the hotel a little.
Unique Quality: It is a great location right at the heart of downtown and you can access the PATH right from the hotel. The PATH is Toronto and the world's largest underground shopping network. It is also right at the heart of downtown Toronto close to the CN Tower, nightlife, sporting events and so on.
It's part of the Fairmont chain so you can be sure the service and stuff would be excellent. A good choice for a hotel I would suggest.

If It's good enough for the Queen...
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!

Royal York
This hotel is very overpriced, the location is good but the rooms are very small. The staff is friendly and helpful. If you are coming to Toronto for the first time just visit the Royal York do not stay there, you can stay other places that are way nicer and cheaper.
Unique Quality: The pool is very nice and the location is great.
