The rooms
Rooms keep things simple and comfortable after their 2012 refresh, making for an unfussy place to sleep downtown.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor whirlpool connects through glass walls to the heated pool terrace, where climbing ivy scales the concrete walls.
The spa
EQlib Medispa performs massotherapy and clinical skincare in private treatment rooms fitted with padded tables.
At the table
Alice Bar pours cocktails under crystal chandeliers. Le Petit Opus Café serves French bistro fare in a mirrored dining room.
How it began
The tower first opened as a Four Seasons, passing through Westin before becoming Omni's first Canadian property.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
