With that in mind, this place attracts a cosmopolitan clientele that could easily afford the Four Seasons or newer Ritz-Carlton, but choose to stay here.
Gayot "The Windsor Arms Hotel is located in a neo-Gothic building in the Yorkville area, just minutes away from Toronto's luxury retail shops and restaurants."
BlackBook "It is very fitting that this discreet property is located in between historical University of Toronto and trendy boutique-ville Bloor/Yorkville."
Zagat "Old-world elegance and Victorian style permeate this historic boutique hotel set in a building dating back to 1927."
