Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Toronto, Luxury hotel and residence tower in Yorkville, Toronto, Canada
The Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Toronto is a complex of two towers at 60 Yorkville Avenue: a 204-metre, 55-storey residential condominium tower and a 125-metre, 30-storey hotel tower. The upper shaft is clad in a gridded glass curtain wall of pale silver-blue, with small tooth-like projections along its narrow side edges; below, a lower block with a flat glass facade divided by thin mullions sits behind a dark horizontal canopy line. The complex contains 259 hotel rooms, 210 private condominium units, a two-storey spa, Café Boulud and bar, and glass-enclosed event spaces.
The complex opened on October 5, 2012, replacing the Bay Ford Lincoln car dealership that had occupied the site. It became the fourth Four Seasons property in Toronto, after the 1961 Four Seasons Motor Hotel on Jarvis Street, the 1963 Inn on the Park and the 1972 hotel at 21 Avenue Road. That earlier Avenue Road hotel, bought by Isadore Sharp in 1978, closed on March 28, 2012, and the chain moved its Toronto base to the new Yorkville towers.
The complex houses Café Boulud and its bar, run by chef Daniel Boulud, and a two-storey spa, drawing both hotel guests and Toronto residents. Its name comes from the Four Seasons chain founded by Isadore Sharp, who called this his hometown flagship. The hotel opened on October 5, 2012, taking over from the Avenue Road property that had hosted celebrities during the film festival's Yorkville years.
The location sits at the intersection of Yorkville Avenue and Bay Street with easy access to shops and subway service. Be aware that this is a mixed-use building, so not all areas are open to the general public.
The entire 55th floor of the West Residence forms a single 839.7-square-metre penthouse, bought in 2012 by Finnish businessman Robert Oesterlund and Sarah Pursglove for C$28 million, then the highest price paid for a condominium unit in Canada. Its interiors were designed by Brian Gluckstein.
