Vibe
9.5/10
Eclectic and hip, the hotel attracts a creative crowd. The lobby, described as an "urban living room," buzzes with renowned chefs, PR professionals, journalists, and young locals.
Rooms
8.5/10
The Ace Hotel Toronto features 123 rooms and suites with a minimalist aesthetic and Canadian touches. The rooms include Douglas fir cabinetry and flooring, custom quilts by artist Kyle Parent, Ace guitars and turntables with curated Canadian vinyl albums, and deep-set window benches offering views of the nearby park. The hotel's amenities embrace the brand's urban ethos, with a focus on providing a pleasurable and restful experience. The love the rooms and the Japanese bath products, however, we lowered the score since they run quite small.

RESTAURANT | ROOFTOP BAR + LOUNGE
One of our favourite “food” hotels, with two incredible options for guests and locals alike.
Alder Restaurant, which descends the hotel in a stunningly designed vaulted space, is a DINR Restaurant partner and also a Michelin Guide culinary destination from the critically acclaimed Chef Patrick Kriss (check out his other restaurants - Alo, Aloette, Alobar Downtown and Alobar Yorkville).
Evangeline, the rooftop bar and lounge that offers an exquisitely executed Mid-Century modern vibe, DJs, small plates, a massive fireplace, killer sunsets and crazy good cocktails. If you’re a foodie, you’ll love the Ace.

“Few hotels in Canada rival the culinary offering of Toronto’s Ace Hotel - between Alder and Evangeline you’re really set. Alder, the hotels’ marquee restaurant, is unsurprisingly delicious (thanks to Michelin awarded Patrick Kriss and his team) and I really loved the vibe of Evangeline on the rooftop.”
