Hotel X Toronto is a resort-style luxury hotel on the grounds of Exhibition Place, overlooking Lake Ontario a few minutes west of the downtown core. Run by the Library Hotel Collection and bookable through Hyatt, it draws convention delegates from the adjacent Enercare Centre and Beanfield Centre, along with couples who want lake views, a rooftop pool, and a full athletic club without leaving the property (Wikipedia).
Dinner centres on Petros82, the hotel’s Mediterranean restaurant, known for its iced seafood display, whole grilled fish, and Greek-inspired mezze. Upstairs, Falcon SkyBar pairs cocktails with views of the lake and skyline beside the rooftop pool. The 10XToronto sports club includes tennis courts and fitness facilities, and the hotel also houses Canada’s first Guerlain Spa. Families can use the Play Centre, which has its own sports court, video game consoles, and a quiet area (Hotel X).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Rates climb sharply during the Canadian National Exhibition (late August to Labour Day) and on major trade-show, Toronto FC, and concert dates at nearby BMO Field. Book early for those periods, or choose midweek stays in spring and fall for better value. Rooftop seating is weather-dependent, so arrive near sunset on clear days and reserve Petros82 in advance on weekends. Exhibition GO station and the 509 and 511 streetcars connect the hotel to downtown. Billy Bishop Airport and Ontario Place are both a short drive away.
