The 370-room upscale One King West Hotel & Residence is an all-suite hotel converted from Toronto's historic Dominion Bank building. The hotel retains much of the landmark's early 19th-century character, architecture, and grand atmosphere, including an event space by the original bank vault. Contemporary and handsome guest rooms have flat-screen TVs and kitchenettes with microwaves and two-burner stoves. There are an on-site restaurant, cafe, and bar, but its excellent downtown location means there are plenty other options in the immediate area. A bright fitness center, sauna, and whirlpool are added perks, but there's a fee for in-room Wi-Fi and parking. Families with young children might find One King West too business-oriented and should check out the Hilton Toronto, which has a full-size indoor and outdoor pool.

Formerly the Trump Toronto, this 261-room luxury hotel is located conveniently in the city's Financial District near many tourist sights. Contemporary decor is opulent without being over-the-top, and the rooms feature many high-end details, such as fireplaces, deep soaking tubs, wet bars, iHome sound systems, and Nespresso machines. The fitness center and indoor pool area offer stunning city views, and the chic spa features a whirlpool and sauna. The on-site restaurant serves solid locally sourced fare, and the two lounges are popular drinking spots with the business set. It's an excellent pick for business travelers, with 12,000 square feet of event space available, but well-heeled leisure travelers will also find plenty to appreciate.

With lavish and tasteful Asian designs, the luxury 202-room Shangri-La Hotel Toronto soars 65 stories high in downtown’s Financial District. It's walking distance to major attractions, including the CN Tower. Spacious, elegant rooms have TVs in bathroom mirrors, tablet room controls, Nespresso machines, and floor-to-ceiling windows; suites offer butler service. Natural light floods the indoor pool and 24-hour gym, and luxury permeates the Caudalie spa. Eight meeting spaces, including a theater, are great amenities for business travelers. But the hotel’s lobby -- with dining, cocktails, and live performances -- is often crowded, so service can feel impersonal. The Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto presents another five-pearl alternative.

This all-suite hotel is centrally located in the heart of Toronto’s Financial District, within walking distance to some major attractions. While contemporary, the hotel doesn’t really live up to the “urban zen” experience the website promises, and it is more of an apartment-style property than a relaxing retreat -- even with the bamboo plants, relaxation fountains, and yoga mats. Suites feature hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and fully equipped kitchenettes -- some even offer washer/dryer combos -- but the furniture is cheap and a tad worn.

This eco-friendly, mid-range hotel sits in the heart of Downtown Toronto, blocks from shops, restaurants and popular sites. The rooms are small but clean, with light wood floors, minimalist contemporary decor, and ultra-comfy beds -- but rooms at the nearby Hotel Victoria are perhaps a tad more stylish, so it's worth comparing rates.

Possibly the most historic hotel in Toronto, the King Edward has had a reputation for elegance for over 100 years. The lobby, dining rooms, ballrooms, and hallways are arguably the most beautiful of any hotel in Toronto. Most of the rooms have been updated with pedestal sinks and chic, if not slightly Spartan, furniture and decor. All units are spacious with huge, comfy beds and modern flat-screen TVs and coffeemakers. Aptly located on King Street, the King Edward is within easy walking distance of many downtown hot spots and the financial district. The venue is ideal for tourists and business travelers willing to pay for prestige.

The Cambridge Suites Hotel is an upscale, all-suite property providing guests with clean, spacious two-room suites in the hub of downtown Toronto. All rooms here are big with separate living rooms and dressing areas, two flat-screen TVs, plus wet bars with sinks, microwaves, mini-fridges, and Keurig coffeemakers. But decor is rather straightforward and lacks the wow-factor expected of an upscale property. The hotel has a nice fine-dining restaurant and bar plus room service and a rooftop fitness center with a whirlpool, sauna, and city views. Travelers seeking out splashier decor might consider the nearby Cosmopolitan Hotel Toronto, which also includes a spa.

This 167-room property, a part of the Maple Leaf Square complex, is a modern hotel with a convenient downtown location. The rooms come complete with modern amenities (large flat-screen TVs and iPod docks), cool open bathrooms (that can be made family-friendly with shades and doors), and sleek white-and-black decor -- although the muscle-centric photographs above the beds are a bit odd. The hotel has two cool lounges, but there is no restaurant -- and unlike at other luxurious downtown Toronto hotels, there is no pool.

The 1909 Hotel Victoria is a historic, boutique hotel with sophisticated, contemporary decor but limited extra property features. This mid-range property is exceptionally located in downtown Toronto's Financial District, in easy walking distance to dining, shopping, and major attractions. Its 56 rooms are stylish and contemporary with hardwood floors, a snappy black-and-white color scheme, and modern amenities like flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi -- but entry-level rooms can be small, and some lack views. The hotel has a well-liked casual restaurant serving breakfast and lunch -- although it doesn't serve dinner or evening drinks. As an alternative, Bond Place Hotel has a full-service restaurant and a small gym, but it's slightly farther from sights and lacks Hotel Victoria's historic charm.
