Hotel Information: From the mezzanine of a spacious, two-story lobby, guests at Toronto's Metropolitan Hotel can observe arrivals and departures of the largely professional clientele—including crew members of several international airlines—who enjoy the personalized services of this entrepreneurial, independent hotel. The decor's contemporary design is complemented by traditional Chinese art, acknowledging the owner's Hong Kong roots and global influence.

Amenity highlights: This Toronto hotel's two restaurants, Hemispheres and Lai Wah Heen, are popular for business lunches and special-occasion dining. The third-floor Executive Business Centre has two workstations in a bright corner office with a view of the CN Tower, and offers cell phone rental, word processing, and more, with drop-in hours from early morning to early evening. After-hours access can be arranged through the concierge. Toronto's main entertainment and club district begins about 3 blocks south of the hotel.

Insider tip: This Toronto hotel is one block north of Nathan Phillip Square, located in front of the curved twin towers of Toronto City Hall. Site of special events nearly every week, there's a farmers' market each Wednesday in summer, and, in winter, a public ice-skating rink that's impressive at night in the glow of seasonal lights.
