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
This is a strong choice for a family that wants a five-star, full-service base with a rooftop pool and multiple dining options, especially one travelling with a pet and wanting King West's restaurants within easy walking distance. A family should not expect five-star service here, but should expect the basics to work reliably. It is not the flashiest option nearby, but it does the job a water park trip actually needs.
- ✓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.

Why guests love itWe chose 1 Hotel Toronto for the rooftop pool and ended up using it every evening after Therme Toronto, dog included on the terrace. Having two restaurants on site meant we barely left the building on our quieter days. It was not the most memorable part of the trip, but it did not need to be, given how much time went into Therme Toronto instead.
