We're loving 2012 already for its exciting <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/hotel openings">hotel opening news</a> and we've still got an entire year to go! One of the biggest openings on our hotel stalker radar is <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Trump+Toronto+Hotel+and+Residences/local/4947">The Trump Toronto</a> which opens January 31st. The hotel, which also has residences attached and is now the tallest residential building in Canada (this is Trump after all), was inspired by champagne and caviar which is evidenced in the grey and silver color palette in the guestrooms. But there's much more beneath the bubbly surface here. Here are some interesting design facts from the hotel: · A wall mosaic in the hotel's porte cochere consists of 500,000

Kravitz's design firm, Kravitz Design Inc., will be designing an entire floor at the upcoming <a href="http://bisha.com/">BISHA Hotel and Residences</a> in Toronto.

And judging from what he recently told the <a href="http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/article/1093859--kravitz-to-bring-a-touch-of-soul-to-toronto-hotel-bisha">Toronto Star</a>, we kinda wish all hotels could be as sexy as Lenny's hotels: <blockquote>Its going to be plush and lush and comfortable and inspiring, says the musician in a phone interview from Croatia, where he is on a European tour.

Since we love the bubbly (caviar not so much), we're curious as to whether or not the rooms will have champagne prices. We tried to use the hotel's convenient <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TrumpTorontoHotel">Facebook booking app</a>, to suss out the room rates

While lots of Americans have the day off today in honor of Columbus Day, our friends up in Canada are celebrating Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving, Canucks!

As much as we love a big turkey feast, we're wishing we were spending this holiday at Thompson Toronto, where we'd order one of these delectable All Canadian Burgers from the hotel's 24-hour diner The Counter.

While she comes in turkey and veggie varieties, we can only speak of--and heartily recommend--the beef burger. And, of course, the French Fries instead of salad or crispy rings.
