Scene
Modern, sleek designs and downtown Toronto views
The Hilton Toronto is a 32-floor concrete high-rise that blends into the cityscape and offers views of downtown’s skyline from its glass elevator. Modern designs and a large front desk, manned by multiple staffers, fill the vast lobby. There are fun, quirky details in the decor, including tripod-style floor lamps and backlit staircases with marbled panels. White ethereal fabric pillars run the length of the two-story lobby and light up in purple hues, adding a softness to the sleek space. Business travelers and tourists often lounge on coffee-colored armchairs by the front desk or in the Tundra bar, where there’s a piano.
