Royal York Hotel

On June 11, 1929, the hotel officially opened as The Royal York. It was the tallest building in the British Commonwealth and quickly set the hospitality standard of the day. The magnificent hotel became known as a city within a city, rising in 28 floors of architectural splendor and replete with mechanical genius and opulence never before seen in Toronto. It boasted 1,048 rooms - each with radios, private showers and bathtubs. The 1.5 acres of public rooms included a 12-bed hospital, 12,000-book library and ten ornate passenger elevators. The Concert Hall featured a full stage and mammoth pipe organ weighing 50 tons, which surpassed anything else in Canada with 300 miles of copper wire. There was a glass-enclosed roof garden, the largest hotel kitchen in Canada with a bakery that could produce over 15,000 French rolls a day, a 66-ft.long switchboard manned by 35 telephone operators, its own bank and golf course (now known as St. George Golf & Country).
Later years saw additional renovations, with a $100 million project from 1988 to 1993 that restored the original elegance with refurbished guestrooms, public spaces, a health club, skylit lap pool and the first-ever American Express Travel Service Centre.
Today, after welcoming more than 40 million guests, The Fairmont Royal York continues to epitomize gracious hospitality.

Passei quase uma tarde no lobby desse hotel. Como eu e minha amiga Alicia (Mexicana) andávamos muito prá conhecer toda a cidade, onde encontrávamos um lugarzinho bacana prá sentar e descansar lá ficávamos.
Nesse dia em particular até que não andamos muito, mas estávamos indo para o Sky Dome (local onde se realizam as partidas do Blue Jays - Baseball) para assistir a um jogo de beiseball e como estávamos adiantadas e por coincidência passamos na frente desse famoso hotel, resolvemos entrar para conhecer o lobby e lá ficamos horas papeando e rindo muito (isso era o que mais fazíamos). O lobby desse hotel é muito bonito e achonchegante. A arquitetura é belíssima e nem sentimos as horas passarem. Quando demos conta já estava no horários de irmos para o estádio.
Eu tenho por hábito entrar em hotéis famosos prá pelo menos conhecer o lobby e posso dizer que esse foi um dos mais bonitos que já entrei, com exceção do Plaza em New York.
