The house
HyattMid-century apartment turned boutique hotel
The 1950s apartment tower runs on domestic ease, replacing a traditional check-in desk with an open kitchen island.
“The hotel has a dimly lit lobby with moody greens and purples, dark woods, and glam gold-framed art.”
What it’s good at

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Surrounded by Yorkville’s exclusive shopping and chic bars, the Anndore’s stylish studios, lofts, and suites feature retro-ish furnishings, exposed brick, and sober colors, as well as turntables, rain showers, and eye-catching artworks.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Yorkville's boutiques sit just north across Bloor, and Church-Wellesley Village is a short walk east.
The rooms
Leather club chairs and polished concrete floors give rooms an industrial loft feel. In the bathroom, walk-in rainfall showers come standard.
At the table
Constantine pours cocktails across an illuminated marble counter, and the kitchen serves Mediterranean plates from a wood-fired oven.
How it began
Architect Wilfred Shulman designed the 1955 tower for downtown executives. A 2018 overhaul stripped it down to the raw concrete frame.
