Partner Reviews: Thompson Hotel Toronto
-
Mmmm, $20 martinis. -
This is arguably the best hotel in Toronto. -
A Victoria's Secret Angel-approved hot spot for New Year's Eve 2012! -
Too bad you have to be a guest or resident to get on the rooftop...disappointing. -
Don't pass up The Screening Room - a luxurious movie theater perfect for VIP screenings, corporate seminars and presentations. -
Loads of gays both upstairs and down - very hot gay action here. -
business crowd early, partying crowd late. Funniest in the in between when both crowds overlap. (not that I hang there all night, just what I heard). -
The suites with a refrigerator have Veuve Cliquot champagne inside - a nice touch! both well worth it - even the room's music streaming from the lounge gets you in the rhythm of things. Love it. -
Terrible service at the lobby bar. Asked for a menu but finished my martini before it was even offered. Which it wasn't at all. Staff stood around and chatted with one another instead. Terrible -
-
My fav patio in this wonderful city. -
The rooftop pool makes me feel like I'm in a Bret Easton Ellis novel. -
Most amazing rooftop patio in Toronto! The view is to die for -
The only way The Thompson could be any hotter would be if it were to relocate to the surface of the sun. Thankfully you can enjoy the sun and their trendy location from the exclusive rooftop terrace -
Hotel is lovely but paid wifi in the rooms inexcusable. -
Join me on Mondays at 1812!!! -
Rooftop ... Amazing -
@Pfaff_Audi VIP Party -
Roof pool closes at 7pm and they don't serve food on the roof past 6pm. Neither is cool. -
Check out the 24 hour diner and gift shop -
Restaurants, bars, rooftop pool, cougars. Do you need anything else?
