Living just a couple of hours from Toronto, I decided to treat myself to a mini staycation, and the St. Regis Hotel turned out to be the ideal spot for a night of luxury and relaxation in the center of the city. From the moment I booked, I could feel the exceptional service, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience.
I chose to stay in one of their superior suites, complete with a king-size bed, deep soaking tub, cozy fireplace, and my very own butler, Corina, who added a whole new level of pampering to the stay.
Corina had invited me to the Astor Lounge to enjoy one of St Regis’s timeless traditions: their daily champagne sabering at 6 p.m. Watching the butlers expertly saber the bottle was such a fun and glamorous experience. I enjoyed a complimentary glass of bubbly along with a delicious charcuterie platter—a perfect way to kick off the evening.
For dinner, I headed back up to the 31st floor to the luxurious Louix Louis restaurant, where the views of the city were breathtaking. The decor was stunning, and the bar, inspired by New York’s cocktail parlors and Toronto’s Distillery District, featured over 500 dark spirits. The French-American cuisine was equally impressive. I savored grilled prawns, perfectly paired with a glass of Italian Veltliner, making for an unforgettable dining experience.
As the evening came to an end, I returned to my room to find water, slippers by the bed, and a soothing cup of peppermint tea waiting for me. It was the perfect, thoughtful way to wind down and reflect on the day’s adventures.
The next morning started with a gentle doorbell ring and a personal delivery of green tea, easing me into the day. After soaking in the moment, I made my way to the spa, 31 floors up, where the views were as breathtaking as the experience itself. With its elegant decor, soft music, and calming floral and citrus scents, the spa felt like a sanctuary above the bustling city.
I’d definitely recommend booking ahead, as the spa is quite popular. I opted for an Organic facial with Rita, who worked her magic and explained the luxurious Sothy products she used. The facial ended with a “NuFace” enhancement, leaving me feeling completely rejuvenated.
Afterward, I sipped on prosecco and enjoyed some healthy snacks while soaking in the cityscape from the relaxation room. Next, I headed up one floor to enjoy the refreshing pool, invigorating hot tub, and impressive fitness center. The changing rooms were equally delightful, with steam rooms, Dyson hairdryers, citrus-infused water, and all the plush towels and robes a spa lover could dream of.
St. Regis Toronto truly delivers an unforgettable experience. With its rich history, flawless service, and top-tier amenities, it’s no wonder the St. Regis brand is synonymous with luxury. Whether you’re looking for a serene retreat or a memorable celebration, St. Regis Toronto is the perfect place to indulge.
