Prince Collection’s notes

Our team recommends

It was one of Canada’s original grand railway hotels, and the lobby still has the dark wood of the 1920s, now with marble and soft light from its renovation. You can also walk in underground from Union subway station.

We moved up to a Fairmont Gold Suite on the 14th floor, in navy and soft gold, with a marble foyer and an all-marble bathroom. Le Labo products came in suite-sized bottles, and the king bed was immaculate.

Fairmont Gold works as a hotel within the hotel. Its lounge has a glass-encased fireplace and a library corner for work, with breakfast in the morning and canapés in the evening.

We’d book a room on the Fairmont Gold floor for the full experience of the hotel.

Who it suits

Our team recommends

Our team found it right for a night or two in the city, and for anyone arriving by train.

From our guests

Our guests write most about Reign, the bars and the Fairmont Gold lounge.

Which room to ask for

From our guests

Most of our guests stay in a Fairmont Queen or a Fairmont King.

Our team recommends

For more space and the lounge, request Fairmont Gold. Our Fairmont Gold Suite had a separate living room, a table for dining or work, and views over Union Station toward the harbourfront.

Without a suite, choose a Signature King, twice the size of the standard rooms, with a large living area; families do well in a Deluxe room with two double beds and a sofa. The Junior Suites add a separate bedroom area and two full bathrooms. For a family or two couples, the Executive Suite has two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and a large living and dining area with a bar.

From our guests

What our guests say

Reign is a superb dining space, and the Library Bar is an excellent cocktail bar. Highly recommended.

G.B., May 2025

Compared with any other hotel I’ve stayed at in Toronto, the main lobby’s ambience is unlike any other, especially on weekends. It is always lively, with the Clockwork bar and Reign restaurant.
