Royal York Hotel in Toronto, Ontario

When opened in 1929, the Royal York Hotel was the largest hotel and briefly the tallest building in the whole of the British Empire. As one of Canada's grand railway hotels, and located directly across the street from Union Station in downtown Toronto, this luxurious property originally boasted over 1000 rooms and welcomed prominent guests from around the world. 

The Fairmont Royal York has undergone numerous upgrades and renovations over the decades and today remains one of Toronto, Ontario's preeminent luxury hotels. As such, it has hosted numerous celebrities, heads of state, and royalty during its illustrious history. Here are a few visuals from a stay at the Fairmont Royal York.
