The Ritz-Carlton Toronto Still Isn't Open, Planning For a Hazy Day In February
A deluxe room overlooking Lake Ontario
The Hotel Le Germain Maple Leaf may have opened in December, but Toronto’s other anticipated opening, the Ritz-Carlton, is taking a little longer. And although the time is getting closer, we’re still not sure exactly how long it will be.
According to its website, the hotel has a new opening date of February 16. Hallelujah! (Remember, last time we heard anything, it was down for a Fall 2010 opening). But not so fast – when we tried to book a room on that day, it told us no rooms were available. In fact, the first date that’s available to book is February 23, exactly a week after opening date!
So this morning we called the hotel, who told us that “no official date has been set”, but that it will open this month and that they are taking bookings from February 23. So it will definitely be open then, maybe beforehand.
Meanwhile, according to the same notice on the website (so we’re not sure how seriously to take it):
Finishing touches to the public areas are starting to take effect, including the installation of magnificent glass-blown chandeliers in the lobby. Carpeting and lighting have been completed in The Ritz-Carlton, Ballroom and we’re excited to welcome our first event in March.
We’ll keep checking for updates. Meanwhile, rates on February 23 start at $485 or you can pay $655 for a package that includes breakfast for two and $200 worth of spa credit. Which you’ll probably need after the stress of not knowing whether the place will be open, right?
