Fairmont Royal York

  • September 11, 2005
  • 5 by mwerblan from Akron, Ohio
Best Things Nearby:
Shopping: Eaton Centre, Queen's Quay Terminal, and Bloor & Yorkville

The PATH allows you to walk all the way to Eaton Centre underground. So, if it's raining out, you don't need to get wet.

Marche's is an excellent place to eat. You can walk to it using the PATH as well.

Best Things About the Resort:
The lobby is wonderful. When you step in, you feel like you have stepped back in time and are now royality.

Resort Experience:
The lobby is full of gold and marble. There is valet parking available, and it is very well centralized within the city. It is within walking distance of almost everything: Hockey Hall of Fame, Eaton Centre, CN Tower, Theatre District, Marche's, Eddie's Bar and Grill, and a wonderful indoor market.

The rooms are a bit cramped, but that is expected in a downtown hotel. The rooms are very well taken care of and have wonderful bathrobes to go crazy over.

They also have several eating areas in the "mall," along with a spa and several stores.

There is also a pool and fitness center on a different level.

The price can be a little high, but they often run great packages.

The Fernery

  • March 14, 2003
  • 4 by JenRich from Los Alamos, New Mexico
The Fernery is a business that provides ferns for floral markets in Europe and now provides Guest Houses as part of the Dolphin Trail. Our Guest House/cabin overlooked a canyon with a river running a short distance to the sea. Our room was lovely and had twin beds placed side by side with kitchenette, sitting area, ceramic wood stove, and covered porch on two sides. The bathroom had both a shower and tub. The décor was enticing and with lots of windows to show the magnificent view, matched the lovely grounds surrounding the Guest House.

A wooden walkway lead from the cabins located on the canyon to a recreational area with swimming pool and pool table. Ferns, flowers and trees lined the walkway and each cabin was tucked against the edge of the canyon giving a sense of privacy and seclusion.

Another wooden walkway lead to a large enclosure used for dining and as a showroom for the different varieties of ferns. The enclosure was roofed, but the sides were open to the elements. The enclosure in addition to highlighting different species of ferns also had waterfalls and a relief wall of African animals. The atmosphere was tropical and soothing even though the temperature was chilly. Overhead heaters kept the immediate vicinity cozy during our dinner and breakfast the following morning.

Another couple joined us at dinner, but they were going to do the Tree Top Adventure the following day run by the same company that provides guides for the Dolphin Trail. We retired right after dinner to get a good night’s rest before our hike the following day.
