Marriott Bloor Yorkville Hotel: Toronto, Canada

toronto088

Imagine stepping out of your hotel into the thick of the Toronto Pride Parade. That’s what happens when you’re a guest at the Marriott Bloor Yorkville Hotel, located at the intersection of Church and Bloor Streets, exactly where the Parade kicks off. On Pride Sunday, the crowds are five-deep behind the barricades – and you step out of the Marriott Bloor Yorkville into the delirious mayhem of it all.

Apart from the Parade, the Marriott Bloor Yorkville is also perfectly located for shopping along “Mink Mile” (aka Bloor Street). All the usual suspects – including Cartier, Vuitton, and Hermes – are a quick walk from your hotel room. Refresh yourself with a glass of Champagne at La Société – and if you’ve maxed out your credit cards, there’s a well-stocked grocery store next door to the Marriott.

In other words, the Marriott Bloor Yorkville is all about location. Rooms are cozy and clean, with beds that are deliciously comfortable. Pillows are either feather, down, or foam – or all three – and the breakfast buffet includes a nice assortment of fresh fruit and local produce. The hotel’s limo service offers a reasonable fare to Pearson Airport.

Situated at the crossroads between the Gay Village and Bloor Yorkville, the Marriott Bloor Yorkville enables you to satisfy multiple fetishes and cravings – within easy walking distance.
