Hotels in Toronto have been some of the most prominent buildings in the city
and the hotel industry is one of the city's most important. The Greater Toronto
Area has 183 hotels with a total of almost 36,000 rooms. In 2004 there were 8.7
million room nights sold. Toronto is a popular tourist destination, but most
hotels rooms go to people travelling on business with about two thirds of rooms
being taken by commercial, government, or convention travellers.
Toronto hotels are found in a number of different clusters. The downtown core
and financial district has a wide array of hotels. Many are near the Metro
Toronto Convention Centre, and others, like the Sheraton Centre have their own
substantial convention facilities. North of downtown the upscale Yorkville
neighbourhood has many of the city's most luxurious hotels. Hotels such as the
Four Seasons, Windsor Arms, and Sutton Place are at the centre of the Toronto
International Film Festival each year. Outside of downtown the area around
Toronto Pearson International Airport has a cluster of hotels and convention
centres. The major highways through town also have a wide array of smaller
hotels and motels. |
