TORONTO — Canadian hotelier, Sukhdev Toor has announced the development of the first TOOR Hotel, a distinct lifestyle hotel and residences located in downtown Toronto on Jarvis Street, just north of Moss Park. This boutique property will offer 232 guestrooms and suites, as well as 181 premium residential rental units. Designed by Arcadis IBI, the project will feature a modern French-inspired bistro and bar set over two floors, valet parking, a 1,500-sq.-ft. fitness centre and yoga studio, a 3,000-sq.-ft. terrace, and an additional 1,100 sq. ft. of meeting-and-event space. The 33-storey development will offer guests and residents unobstructed views of Toronto and Lake Ontario.
Over the years, Toor, TOOR Hotel president and CEO, has developed dozens of hotels across Canada and the U.S. under Manga Hotel Group. He brings almost four decades of experience in operational excellence to this new property.
“As Toronto continues to grow, this prime location makes it a perfect retreat for travellers. The TOOR Hotel epitomizes the essence of a true urban lifestyle hotel, bringing a new offering to Toronto,” says Toor. “From the downtown positioning to our thoughtfully designed spaces and architecture, no detail has been spared in providing our guests a unique and memorable experience.”
TOOR Hotel’s guestrooms and suites, designed by DesignAgency, a Toronto based award-winning international design studio, are inspired by Toronto’s vibrant parks and green spaces. Guestrooms and suites welcome relaxation with contemporary interiors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and modern amenities including 55-inch televisions and Nespresso machines. The washrooms have been designed with custom artwork and soothing colours, pulling the room’s atmosphere into additional spaces. All guestrooms have Lutron lighting to create a custom atmosphere with its range of smart controls.
“We wanted this property to really celebrate the vibrant heart of the city, in a space that was unlike any other. We drew inspiration by incorporating elements from the city grid forms and Victorian architecture like arches and round towers, reflecting themes of geometry, connectivity, and interlaced layers,” says Matt Davis, founding partner of DesignAgency.
Muse Bistro + Bar, designed by Mackaywong, is a sophisticated dining hub with European-designed interiors and modern French-inspired cuisine. The two-storey restaurant, which is more than 2,500 sq. ft., features a ground floor with space for meetings, working and for those grabbing a quick bite on-the-go. The second floor will offer a more refined dining experience alongside an additional 1,100 sq. ft. of meeting-and-event space.
TOOR Hotel will open in 2024 and will be the first of four boutique TOOR Hotel Collection properties scheduled to open in downtown Toronto over the next five years. The collection will range from lifestyle to luxury five-star hotels, with each property curated to be a unique reflection of its neighbourhood’s aesthetic and atmosphere.
Elevated above the TOOR Hotel, premium rental units comprise the top 15 floors of the building. The 203 residences will be the first of its kind to offer multi-family residential rentals situated above an upscale hotel. Residents can enjoy hotel-inspired services and conveniences, while engaging in a warm and inviting community. Occupancy begins early summer 2024.
