Sitting beside the modern skyscrapers and flashy harbour front, you'll find the 19th century St. Lawrence Market, the perfect place to pick up some local produce and street eats. Not far away, you'll find the distinctive red bricks of the Distillery District where industrial warehouses have been transformed into charming cafes and independent art studios.
In fact, there's so much to see in the city, you'll definitely want to spend a few nights there. Here are our top picks for cheap hotels, luxury picks and boutique stays in Toronto.
Compared to the rest of Canada, accommodation in Toronto can be expensive. If you're looking for an affordable room, you'll need to be prepared to forfeit a few of those creature comforts – budget hotels in Toronto offer pretty basic double rooms for no less than $85. If you're looking for something cheaper, consider staying in a hostel or visiting during the shoulder season (fall and spring) when the weather's not too cold and the prices aren't too high.
Our top picks for cheap hotels in Toronto: The Rex Hotel Jazz & Blues Bar, Planet Traveler Hostel and Colour Cube Guesthouse
Downtown Toronto is just about as central as you can get to almost all of the city's top attractions.
Plenty of restaurants and bars will all be within walking distance, or a very short drive away. You will also find the Distillery District, the Art Gallery of Ontario and Bloor Street, the high-end shopping street that has been dubbed the Mink Mile, nearby.
Our top picks for hotels in downtown Toronto: Chelsea Hotel Toronto, Delta Hotels by Marriott Toronto, and The Omni King Edward Hotel.
While Toronto's 5-star hotels all share a similarly hefty price tag and immaculately furnished spacious suites, some go the extra mile with rooftop bars, infinity pools and views over Lake Ontario. You'll find most peppered around Old Toronto or Yorkville.
Our top picks for 5-star hotels in Toronto: Shangri-La Hotel Toronto, Hotel X Toronto by Library Hotel Collection, and Bisha Hotel Toronto.
If you're bored of staying in the same hotels and are after something a little more exotic, Toronto has heaps of boutique hotels hidden away in former chocolate factories and converted warehouses, all of which make for a memorable stay.
Our top picks for boutique Toronto hotels: The Broadview Hotel, Hotel Ocho and The Beverley Hotel.
Choosing to stay in a property on Airbnb or Stayz not only makes your trip to Toronto more affordable but also more memorable. Properties range from private rooms in shared accommodation to having free rein of some of the most unique spaces in the city.
If you're taking on Canada by campervan, there's nowhere to park within the realms of Toronto's city limits, but there are countless campgrounds to choose from if you head a little further out. One of the closest options is Glen Rouge Campground, which is around a thirty-minute drive from the city centre, but just five minutes from the Toronto Zoo.
There are plenty of hotels sitting right outside Toronto's Pearson airport, including the upscale Sheraton Gateway Hotel, the mid-range NU Hotel and the low-cost Comfort Inn.
Most hotels within Toronto's downtown area will be just a short distance away from the Eaton Centre. Some of the closest include Pantages Hotel Toronto Centre, DoubleTree by Hilton Toronto Downtown and Bond Place Hotel.
To be close to the entertainment hub that is the Rogers Centre, consider staying in the Toronto Marriott City Centre Hotel, the Bisha Hotel Toronto or the InterContinental Toronto Centre.
Claiming to be the largest zoo in Canada, staying close to the Toronto Zoo means you'll be in prime position to explore every single inch of this family-friendly attraction. Along with plenty of smaller homestays in the area, consider staying at Travelodge by Wyndham Toronto or Holiday Inn Express Toronto East.
