Hyatt Hotels Corporation and Princes Gates Hotel Limited Partnership have announced that Hotel X Toronto will join the Destination by Hyatt brand, marking the brand’s entrance into Canada.

Located on the shores of Lake Ontario, the 404-key property features a year-round heated rooftop pool with panoramic views, the first Guerlain Spa in Canada, and 10XTO, a 90,000-square-foot athletic club with tennis courts, squash courts, and fitness studios. Guests can also enjoy a curated art gallery by Neil Dankoff, a 250-seat cinema, a private screening room, and a selection of dining venues. Hotel X Toronto also has 60,000 square feet of flexible event space.

Situated within the city’s iconic Princes’ Gates, opposite the Enercare Centre, it is the only hotel within Ontario’s Exhibition Place, which itself is home to several unique event venues, including the Better Living Centre, Automotive Building, StudioEX, Bandshell Park and Queen Elizabeth Building.

“Hotel X Toronto was designed to be more than a hotel – it is an experience that blends wellness, culture, and recreation,” said Fariyal Hasham, Managing Director at Hotel X Toronto. “Joining Destination by Hyatt allows us to stay true to our unique vision while tapping into Hyatt’s global reach, connecting travelers from around the world to our sophisticated urban resort.”

“Hotel X Toronto embodies the spirit of the Destination by Hyatt brand by offering exceptional resort-style experiences which captures the essence of Toronto,” said Scott Richer, vice-president of development and owner relations for Canada, Hyatt. “We’re looking forward to continuing to grow Hyatt’s brand presence in Canada and expand our classics portfolio in exciting new locations that our guests and 54 million World of Hyatt members expect.”

The Destination by Hyatt brand is a collection of independent hotels, resorts and residences that are individual at heart yet connected by a commitment to embody the true spirit of each location. Ranging from upper-upscale to luxury, each property is purposefully crafted to be a place of immersive discoveries, authentic design, and warm and welcoming service.

In the last 10 years, Hyatt has quintupled its brand presence in Canada.
