Take me to the Thompson
In honour of its first international outpost, here's our Top Ten list of what we love about the Thompson Toronto.
1. The Counter, a boxcar-inspired diner open 24-hours a day.
2. The gym and yoga studio, where we can work off the milkshake we had at The Counter.
3. The Javier Mariscal mural of Toronto’s skyline that rules the lobby.
4. The toiletries from CE Bigelow, the oldest apothecary in America.
5. The luxurious feel of every inch of the place.
6. The 40-seater, state-of-the-art private cinema, available for private bookings (Pretty Woman, anyone?).
7. One mouthwatering word: Scarpetta.
8. The infinity pool on the 16th floor with a breathtaking view of the city.
9. The very Sanderson-esque lobby bar. It’s the perfect place to meet your next date.
10. That on our next staycation, we needn't bother stepping foot out of the hotel.
