Eric and I switched to an EV two years ago and it changed how we plan road trips entirely. Used to be “where’s the hotel?” Now it’s “where’s the hotel with a charger?” When we drive from Vancouver to Toronto (yes, we’ve done it twice – don’t ask), finding toronto hotels with ev charging is […]

Last October, Natalie and I caught a Raptors home opener at Scotiabank Arena and made a crucial mistake – we stayed at a hotel in Yorkville. Beautiful hotel. Twenty-five minute walk to the arena. By the time the game ended at 10:30pm, we were standing on Bay Street trying to grab an Uber with 19,000 […]

There’s a particular electricity that descends on King Street West every September. If you’ve been to TIFF, you know it. If you haven’t – imagine an entire city block humming with cinema, with conversations about cinematography spilling out of hotel lobbies and onto sidewalks, with the faint possibility that you might share an elevator with […]

David looked at me last March and said “can we just… not go anywhere this year?” And honestly? I got it. Three kids, a packed schedule, and the thought of airport security with Zoe (she’s five, everything is an adventure including the metal detector) was enough to make me suggest something different.

The moment Sophia spotted the CN Tower from our hotel window, she literally screamed. Not a little gasp – a full-volume, wake-the-neighbours scream. Ethan pressed his face against the glass so hard he left a nose print. And that’s basically been the story of every family trip we’ve taken to this part of Toronto. When […]

Luna got her first hotel bed in 2019. Pepper got hers six months later when we adopted her. And since then, Eric and I have basically built our entire travel life around one question – will they let the dogs come? Finding dog friendly hotels toronto that actually welcome your pets (not just tolerate them) […]

Let me tell you something I’ve learned after 15 years in the travel industry and three kids who eat like they’re training for the Olympics – toronto hotels with kitchenette suites will save your sanity. And your wallet. I’m not being dramatic. When you’re travelling with a family of five and everyone wants something different […]

Every year around May, Marcus starts getting that look. The one that says “so when are we booking the summer hotel?” And honestly? I’m already three spreadsheets deep by then. Finding the best summer hotels in Toronto has become a bit of an obsession for our family – and I’m not even sorry about it. […]

I’ve slept in capsule hotels in Tokyo, riad courtyards in Marrakech, and more airport lounges than I’d care to admit. But there’s something about rolling solo through Toronto that just hits different. Maybe it’s the walkability. Maybe it’s the fact that strangers actually talk to you here. Either way – if you’re hunting for the […]
