This newest Four Seasons, the 90th in the world-renowned five-star chain, is a dream finally brought to life in granite, glass and glamour for legendary hotelier Isadore Sharp.
“You might say that this was 50 years in the making,” says Sharp on the eve of Friday’s ribbon-cutting. “To now have what we can classify as a true Four Seasons in Toronto, where it all started, is a momentous occasion. It is going to astound people when they arrive.”
The contemporary hotel-condo complex, which soars 55 storeys from the toniest corner in the city — Bay St. and Yorkville Ave. — is a stark contrast to the old hotel which, in Sharp’s own words, “felt like driving into a garage.”
This new complex, which features 259 hotel rooms and 210 high-end condos, 110 in a 26-storey east tower, is utterly the opposite and a gallery for some 1,700 commissioned paintings, sculptures and designs that showcase Canadian talent.
