1 Hotel Toronto
Rooftop pool and two restaurants
About this hotel
1 Hotel Toronto carries a five-star rating and sits two minutes' walk from Bathurst Street at King Street West, roughly ten minutes by taxi from the Art Gallery of Ontario and close to Ruby Soho for an evening out. Its rooftop terrace with a pool and bar, two restaurants, and a gym give a family a full slate of on-site amenities beyond the room itself, and it welcomes pets alongside the rest of its full-service offering. With well over seven hundred guest reviews at a strong rating, it has built a solid reputation in this part of downtown Toronto's King West neighbourhood. Downtown Toronto's streetcar network keeps the rest of the city, and Ontario Place itself, within easy daily reach from this address.

Our take
I would book 1 Hotel Toronto when the hotel itself is part of the trip: the rooftop pool gives children somewhere to swim on days away from Ontario Place, and the two on-site restaurants simplify evenings. It also suits families travelling with a dog. Families who mainly need a bed between long days out may find the five-star level more than they will use, and a simpler address in Queen West would do the job.
- ✓Book the rooftop pool and bar for the evening once kids are settled, rather than during the busiest daytime hours.
- ✓Try both on-site restaurants across a multi-night stay rather than defaulting to one each time.
- ✓Confirm pet policy details ahead of arrival, since fees and rules can vary.
