The hotel comprises two 45-story towers in the former Pilkington Glass Factory space in Toronto’s Entertainment District and will have a mix of residential units and 36 hotel suites.

Spanish hotel and resort chain announced in 2019 that it would be touching down in Toronto. Riu Plaza Toronto will be located in the Financial District.
Ontario hotels opening in 2024
Somewhere Inn Collingwood
128 St Paul St., Collingwood
Somewhere Inn, a revived boutique motel two hours outside of Ottawa, may have been a product of the pandemic (owners Joel Greaves and Devon Vaillancourt opened the hotel in 2021), but the success of retro motel dwellings never dulled. Even after lockdowns lifted, Ontarians have been actively seeking quirky getaways within the province.
This year sees an extension of the brand with the opening of a 10-room property in Collingwood slated for March 2024. Staycationers will be able to enjoy adorably decorated rooms — without TVs, because, relaxation — just two hours outside of the GTA. Plus, Somewhere Inn's lobby lounge will act as a café in the morning for coffee and local treats, before turning into a laid-back spot to grab a glass of natural vino later in the day.
The Postmark Hotel
180 Main St. S., Newmarket
This landmark building will be getting a glam alter-ego in spring 2024 when the highly anticipated Postmark Hotel opens its doors. The transformation from a historical post office and community hub on Newmarket’s charming Main Street to a boutique hotel, restaurant and bar is almost complete. And, given that it's from the same group as The Broadview Hotel, we have seriously high hopes for this gorgeous opening.
Moxy Ottawa
126 York St.
View on Instagram
Ottawa's downtown Byward Market is about to get a 222-room Moxy Marriott hotel located inside a heritage property built in 1913. The brand promises "stylish guestrooms with custom furnishings," plus "eclectic public spaces" and a street-side restaurant.

Luxury and sustainability meet at this elegantly designed Toronto hotel that transformed the former Thompson Hotel space.

Tuck into organic Mexican and Mediterranean fare at Casa Madera; enjoy booze-forward cocktails and snacks in the Flora Lounge; or sip beautiful cocktails paired with sushi while you look out over the city from Harriet’s Rooftop.
Ace Hotel Toronto
51 Camden St.
Once home to the Garment District's factories and warehouses, The Ace Hotel Toronto now stands at 51 Camden Street, a gorgeous 14-storeys of red brick and architectural prowess inside and out. Toronto-based architectural design company Shim-Sutcliffe Architects and Atelier Ace (the Ace Hotel's in-house creative agency) pulled out all the stops to build this seven-year-in-the-making masterpiece. Even if you don't stay overnight, The Ace has plenty of ways to entertain you.
