Game nights set the tempo here, channeling sports-district energy into a polished, modern boutique right beside the arena.
“Soaring ceilings, gleaming wood, and understated furniture in muted tones convey serenity in the guest rooms.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Pairing lithe, athletic design with a Euro-chic sensibility, this hotel feels right at home in the downtown office/condo/shopping district.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Scotiabank Arena sits directly next door, and Union Station is a short walk away.
The rooms
Glass-walled rainfall showers stand open to the bedroom, fitted with pull-down blinds for privacy.
Bar Le Germain
Guests settle into black leather chairs or at the high-top communal table for cocktails, tapas, and the evening game.
An 11-story-brick-and-glass facade conceals a lobby outfitted with rich South American woods, a fireplace separates the lobby from the library.
How it began
The Quebec-based Germain family opened the property in 2010 to anchor the Maple Leaf Square sports and entertainment complex.
