Thompson Toronto Plans More Residences; Hotel to Open Next Month

Where: 550 Wellington St W, Toronto, ON, Canada, ON M5V

The Thompson Residences, which will open across the street from the Thompson Hotel.

With the news yesterday that Virgin America, the boutique hotel version of an airline, would begin flights from LA and SFO to Toronto, we immediately thought of Thompson Toronto, which is expected to open sometime next month.

Thompson Hotels co-owner Stephen Brandman tells us a May 1 opening date is being thrown around but he's trying to finalize an earlier date than that. However, there is some bigger news with Thompson Toronto.

A new set of residences branded Thompson Residences will open across the street from the hotel. The building will feature 300 residence units, in a neat sort of boxy arrangement, along with a rooftop pool and bar. Residents will have access to some of the Thompson Toronto hotel services but even though the project is being done by the same developer as the hotel, Freed Developments, Brandman says this building is a separate project from the hotel.
