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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

I’m going to be real with you. I used to be an Airbnb guy. Like, aggressively pro-Airbnb. I’d scroll past hotel listings without even looking at them because I figured – kitchen, more space, cheaper, done. But after a trip to Toronto last summer where my son Max and I got hit with a C$150 […]

I first walked through the Distillery District on a grey November afternoon about six years ago – dragging my niece Lily (who was seven at the time and deeply unimpressed by “old buildings”) along the cobblestones. But something shifted when we turned onto Trinity Street and the Victorian brick warehouses opened up around us. Even […]

So last July, Marcus and I dragged the kids – Chloe was practically melting, Leo had his goggles on before we even left the house – to find a Toronto hotel with rooftop pool access that wouldn’t disappoint. And honestly? We were blown away. Toronto hotels with rooftop pool options have seriously leveled up in […]
