Rough Guide Star
"An ivy-wrapped landmark located in a heritage building, this popular place has an excellent reputation, making reservations essential."

Ask for a room overlooking English Bay, on the south facing (Beach Avenue) side of the hotel.
Frommer's "The big draw is, of course, the unbeatable location right on English Bay—that, and the great room rates. Each room has its own layout, which ranges from small bargain rooms to big suites" Full review
