Four Seasons Toronto may have only opened a year ago, but it has already made a very big impression on the travel industry. It is currently the first and only hotel in Canada to hold both the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating and the AAA Five Diamond award.

"Our Star Ratings recognize the finest hotels in the world. They serve as guideposts for consumers seeking exceptional travel experiences, and our primary mission is to serve the consumer," said Michael Cascone, President of Forbes Travel Guide.

The 55-story property has made a home in the heart of Yorkville, downtown Toronto’s renowned shopping and dining district. There are 259 elegant guest rooms and 42 luxurious suites; 30,000-square-foot spa with 17 treatment rooms, two steam rooms, and a salon; sophisticated dining options dbar and Café Boulud; ninth-floor indoor relaxation pool; 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center; and beautiful glass-enclosed event spaces.

"Four Seasons Hotel Toronto was built to be the brand's global flagship," says Dimitrios Zarikos, Regional Vice President and General Manager of the hotel. "Both ratings are a testament to our team's hard work and the exceptional service we extend to our guests and we are proud to achieve this recognition."
