City Place
City Place towers near Rogers Centre
About this hotel
City Place sits nine minutes' walk from Rogers Centre and roughly the same time by taxi from Union Station, in the cluster of residential towers built up around this stretch of downtown Toronto. Close to The Morning After for a nearby dining option, it puts a family within easy reach of both the stadium district and the city's main rail hub, useful for a trip that combines Ontario Place with other stops around the city. A modest number of guest reviews sit at a strong rating, a good early signal for a property in this newer, transit-focused pocket of downtown. None of that replaces a day spent at Therme Toronto, but it does make the hours around it easier to plan for a family with kids in tow.

Our take
This suits a family that wants a modern City Place tower with easy access to Rogers Centre and Union Station, treating the water park as one part of a broader downtown Toronto trip rather than the sole focus. 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.
- ✓Walk to Rogers Centre for a quick dinner option on a non-park evening.
- ✓Use the nearby Union Station connections if combining the trip with travel elsewhere in Ontario.
- ✓Try The Morning After nearby for an easy meal after a tiring park day.

Why guests love itCity Place put us close enough to Union Station that we tacked on a day trip elsewhere in Ontario partway through our stay, and the walk to Rogers Centre gave us an easy dinner option most evenings. Nothing about the stay stood out as a problem, which for a busy water park trip is exactly what a family wants from a hotel. It played a supporting role to the water park rather than competing with it, which suited the shape of the whole trip.
