Altogether wonderful experience and very much recommended!
Pros:

We visited for a small 2 night city break- The Hotel is located right in the middle of Downton Toronto so very conveniently located. The facilities are excellent. I had requested a room with a good view and we were given one on the top floor with a view of CN Tower!. The room is spacious, comfortable, modern with a spacious bath.

The staff were absolutely wonderful- The concierge was able to accomodate all requests. I actually got sick during my stay and they were able to arrange a doctor to come into the room for a checkup.

Theres an excellent valet service if you re parking your car there as well. We used room service and in room dining quite a bit too. There is an evening turn down service too. The room amenities are modern- e.g drapes and shears that open and close at the touch of a button.Altogether wonderful experience and very much recommended!

Cons:

While the staff and in room dining experience was wonderful,the food items tended to be somewhat bland- Perhaps just not our palette/taste.

Great hotel, room wasn’t cleaned thoroughly
Pros:

Stayed a number of times… this time was not the best experience. Coffee table damaged my designer purse (it was sticky and part was left on the table. Felt like it wasn’t dealt with properly (offered a hotel voucher). For a $1600 purse … I expected some empathy. Cleanliness of room could have been better. There was a clump or hair on the carpet and a piece of food under chaise in bedroom.

Best Valentines get away!
Pros:

My partner and I stayed at the Shangri-La for Valentine’s Day and had such a beautiful experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is elegant, calm, and luxurious — the perfect setting for a romantic getaway.

A very special thank you to Demeko and Dean for their incredible attention to detail. They truly went above and beyond to make our room absolutely perfect for our arrival. So many thoughtful touches made the whole stay feel extra special.

We also want to give a shout-out to Ben in the lobby lounge bar. His cocktails were delicious and beautifully crafted, and the lunch service was just as impressive. He made us feel so welcome and taken care of.

All staff who played an integral part in our stay truly made all the difference.

Overall, a flawless Valentine’s stay. We can’t wait to return! 💕

Memories made at my first experience staying at Shangri-La TO
Pros:

First stay for my wife and I at the Shangri-La in Toronto for a three night stay. Was checked in by Andre K who set the standard for our stay. He offered us a late check out right off the bat as well as an upgrade to a beautiful room looking out to Queen’s Park. The level of detail in the hotel are unmatched even by other luxury hotels in Canada. The level of service was next level. It felt over staffed. The staff was always offering to help. The vibe was very resort feel. Bathroom products were hotel branded and high quality including soaps, shampoo, conditioners, and body lotion. The public lobby had entertainment throughout our stay - vibrant community feel. The pool area had public sauna, hot tube and steam room in locker room. Fitness facilities was very well stocked with free weights, cardio, smith machine and functional trainer. Benches were higher quality. There is no reason to leave the hotel. I will return without hesitation. Best hotel experience in my life.

Awesome and great Location.
Pros:

Location was excellent and walking distance to the place we wanted to go. The Tiff cinema and the Luma restaurant. The rooms was clean and very quiet for a downtown hotel. The service was impeccable. Great service and very courteous staff. The Atmosphere was outstanding especially the lounge area with a live band on the weekend. The pool, hot tub and dry sauna was a bonus. It also carries a full size gym that would make any private fitness gym look over their shoulder.
