While We Await Thompson Toronto, Le Germain's New Hotel is Almost Done
While the latest news we had on Thompson Hotels was about their new, slick website and not about the opening date for Thompson Toronto, we've managed to look elsewhere in Toronto to lift our nerdy hotel opening spirits--Hotel Le Germain at Maple Leaf Square.
Yes, Canada's Le Germain brand is opening its second hotel in Toronto, next to the Air Canada Centre where Toronto's Maple Leafs hockey team plays its home games.
The hotel was initially announced back in 2006 and judging from this photo sent to us by a friend, the building looks nearly complete, although it was expected to open in 2009. The 8-storey boutique hotel will have 171 guest rooms (with free WiFi hopefully), a cafe, spa and fitness center.
The hotel will also be connected to two new condo buildings rising next to it and to the new retail space that surrounds the square which will have restaurants, shops and bars for game-goers, guests and residents alike. But the guest the hotel is most anxious to receive? Visiting teams playing the Maple Leafs and the Toronto Raptors basketball team.
According to this piece, the hotel is set to open in August. Until then, you can read more about it on the website but prepare for some annoying music. This one at least has words, "Let the games begin."
