1 Hotel Toronto: King West’s Green Oasis

The King West neighbourhood got a major upgrade in August 2021 with the arrival of 1 Hotel Toronto. This isn’t just another luxury spot; it’s the first Canadian property for the rapidly expanding 1 Hotels brand, and it’s brought a serious commitment to sustainability, nature-inspired design, and community focus right to the heart of the city.

The hotel immediately makes an impression, thanks to a stunning design by the renowned Rockwell Group. Stepping inside is like entering an urban greenhouse, with over 3,000 plants adorning nearly every space, truly bringing the brand’s eco-friendly ethos to life. The result is a vibrant, lively atmosphere that feels like a true breath of fresh air amidst the concrete jungle.

A Prime Toronto Hub

Location is everything, and 1 Hotel Toronto is perfectly positioned. It sits mere steps from the electric buzz of the King West dining and entertainment scene, the artsy charm of Queen West‘s local shops, and the city’s vibrant waterfront. You are truly in the middle of it all.

However, the hotel is a destination in its own right. Head up to Harriet’s Rooftop for stylish cocktails and a unique, wrap-around terrace vista of the city skyline. For a casual yet chic meal, the farm-to-table 1 Kitchen restaurant offers up fresh cuisine—the perfect spot to enjoy lunch while people- and streetcar-watching along bustling Bathurst Street.
