Last time I stayed in Toronto, it was at the Hyatt Regency. Unfortunately, my wish that the hotel would not be devalued did not come true (see Hyatt Regency Toronto: Please Don’t Devalue!). Now, the hotel is 15k a night. For that price, I decided to stay in a boutique hotel.
JDV
This is my second JDV Hotel (see The Time New York: A Hidden Hyatt Hotel).
Getting There
I took an Uber from YYZ.
Location
The hotel is technically in Yorkville, one of Toronto’s most affluent neighborhoods. It is also right across the street from the Brass Rail and public parks. By day, nothing seems amiss. By night, everything changes (see What Happened to Toronto? ).
Check-In
It has been a while since I was warmly greeted checking in. I was even given a cookie and club soda.
Room
My room had a great view of the high-rises, a distraction from what was going on at night below.
Bathroom
I liked the subway floors.
Brunch
On weekends, brunch is served from 9:30AM to 2PM. Globalists are allowed one entree, one cold drink, and one hot drink per person. As my flight was at 7AM the following day, I asked if I could use both of my vouchers on the same day. They graciously said yes, so I ordered everything, plus a bottle of Cava.
Overall
Great hotel.
