An Urban Resort Opens in Toronto Next Month: Hotel X Toronto

February 26, 2018

Last week I was invited to the Media Preview for Hotel X Toronto by the Library Hotel Collection. For those of you that don’t know, Hotel X Toronto is  the newest and hottest hotel in Toronto right now. The doors to Hotel X Toronto will officially open next month and I am certain you will fall in love with it just as much as I did. The word hotel does not do Hotel X Toronto justice as it is more of an urban resort. To give you an idea, Hotel X Toronto is a unique 30 storey lakefront property which brings a cutting-edge mix of hospitality, sports and entertainment options to Toronto. It is located in Exhibition Place across from the Enercare and Beanfield Centres. Hotel X Toronto is the type of property where you could keep yourself entertained for days without leaving. You will find a full service spa, sports complex, multiple dining options, cinema, as well as a museum.

Hotel X - Lobby this for inspo!

For a Hotel with 406 guest rooms, the aesthetic and atmosphere still feels like a boutique property. The lobby is stunning with tiles from four continents and a living green wall with beautiful plants. Please click play on the video above for a sneak peek of the preview I attended. The preview consisted of a luncheon and I’ve included some of the photos of the food below. I will be posting more about Hotel X Toronto soon but wanted to give you a little teaser.

I’ve outlined some of my favourite features below:

  • L’Occitane products in each guest room
  • An athletic facility featuring 90,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space including indoor tennis courts, squash courts, fitness studio, 25 metre pool, spinning studio, and pilates studio
  • A partially indoor/partially outdoor heated 50-foot long pool dubbed the ‘Pond’  will offer breathtaking views of Lake Ontario.
  • An on-site Cinema that offers 243 stadium-style seats as well as a 56 seat screening room
  • An archaeological exhibit ‘New Fort Hall’ that commemorates the history of the New Fort since its construction in the 1840s.
  • A full service spa with 10 treatment rooms
  • Over 60,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event spaces

Surrey Spice Trail: 5 stops. 5 moods. 1 delicious + local adventure. 🌶️ 

The Surrey Spice Trail is a curated collection of restaurants that highlight the bold, diverse, and evolving food culture in Surrey.

1️⃣ @GupshupSocialLounge is the fun extrovert. Loud, playful, and full of Indo-fusion snacks.

2️⃣ @CloveTheArtOfDining is the artistic perfectionist. French-plated finesse, global flavours, and standout cocktails.

3️⃣ @MaharajaHospitality is timeless glam. Elevated North Indian classics, warm lighting, and hotel-lobby elegance.

4️⃣ @TokyoMithaiwala.ca is the soft girl with an edge. Desi-style high tea, mithai parfaits, and a holiday thandai.

5️⃣ @64_Sweets is the reliable one. No-fuss, all flavour, and always hits the spot.

Bonus 6️⃣ @WeAreCivicHotel is the calm after the spice. This is where I stayed, unwound, and watched the city glow from floor-to-ceiling windows.

I love how the Surrey Spice Trail is all about eating local, supporting independent kitchens, and exploring everything from fusion street food to elegant fine dining.

Save this for your next food crawl and tag your crew to plan it with you.

Civic called and said stay elevated.
A weekend @WeAreCivicHotel, Autograph Collection gave luxury, location, and a little main character energy. Between the floor-to-ceiling windows, brunch in bed, and front-row views of the @letshearitbc festival, this wasn’t just a stay—it was a whole vibe. Bonus points for enough hangers, a supportive desk chair (my back said thank you), and room service that actually slaps. Surrey, I see you.

Adding ‘cake decorator’ to my resume after this. 🎂👩‍🍳 Had the sweetest time at @thesweetspot.xxo’s cake decorating class at Yew Street Food Hall—and let me tell you, my cake got a serious glow-up! ✨ Chef Amanda is a total pro—so patient, so creative, and her cakes? Next level. If you’re in Kamloops and need custom cakes or sugar cookies, she’s your go-to. 🍰💖

Oh, and while I was there, I finally tried Taco Alley at @yewstreetfoodhall—taco ‘bout a masterpiece. 🌮🔥

Finally, a spot in Kamloops that gets it.🔥 @maaza.kitchen 

I was invited to the grand opening of Maaza Indian Kitchen & Bar last weekend, and let’s just say—this place understood the assignment. The bold North Indian flavors, the Indo-Chinese heat, and the vibe? All on point.

The food was a full experience. The Veggie Manchurian was crispy, saucy, and packed with flavor. The Chilli Chicken brought the perfect kick, and the Chicken Kebabs were smoky, juicy, and unreal. But the real scene-stealer? The Lamb Sizzler Platter—steaming, sizzling, and demanding all the attention.🔥

And the best part? Maaza is about to become even more of a vibe with live music on Saturdays. Kamloops, we needed this.
