Toronto’s Shangri-La Hotel: Bliss, Delight And Peace

Toronto’s Shangri-La Hotel: Bliss, Delight And Peace




The definition Shangri-La:

1. An imaginary remote paradise on earth; utopia.

2. any place of complete bliss, delight and peace
(source: online dictionary)

The Shangri-La Hotel Toronto is nether imaginary nor remote. On the contrary, housed in a stunning skyscraper, it enjoys a grand location on University Avenue in downtown Toronto, within a stone’s throw of the city’s business, shopping and entertainment districts. Despite being situated in the heart of Canada’s largest city, the Shangri-La Hotel Toronto certainly lives up to its other definition: a place of bliss, delight and peace.

This is exactly how I felt the moment I stepped into the hotel. For some odd reason, it felt like a homecoming – I was welcomed like an old friend and that feeling never left me during my entire stay. It’s hard to say how the wonderful staff of the Shangri-La Hotel Toronto achieve this; perhaps it’s the gracious manner in which every guest is addressed, the sincere smiles, or the seemingly effortless but highly attentive (or rather, intuitive) service. However they do it, one thing’s for sure: they do it very well.
