Shangri-La Hotel, Toronto has opened on Canada’s grand ceremonial boulevard, University Avenue, in the heart of its largest city. 

Shangri-La Hotel, Toronto resides within the first 17 floors of a new 66-storey landmark tower. 

Guests will appreciate its downtown location, where the city’s business and entertainment districts meet.

The 202-room hotel is within a five-block radius of the performance centre for Canada’s opera and ballet companies, the headquarters for the country’s five major banks, consulates, leading research hospitals, sports venues, the city’s live theatre district and the Toronto International Film Festival headquarters.

“Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts is proud to welcome guests to the newest member of the group’s growing global portfolio and second hotel in North America,” Greg Dogan, president, Shangri-La International Hotel Management.

“Shangri-La Hotel, Toronto brings our signature hospitality from the heart to the fast developing downtown core of this cosmopolitan city, welcoming both Toronto residents and travellers from around the world.”

Beyond the hotel lobby are 202 guestrooms and suites, ranging in size from 45 to 205 square metres. 

The hotel joins Shangri-La Hotel, Vancouver, which opened in January of 2009 on Canada’s West Coast and brought with it the gracious Asian hospitality and service excellence for which the company is renowned.
