W Toronto operates in the downtown core as W Hotels' entry into the city's luxury-lifestyle segment. The property runs the brand's Whatever/Whenever service concept and lobby-as-living-room format — the template Barry Sternlicht launched in 1998 that later lifestyle brands built on.

Signature Experience

TONO by Akira Back — the Nikkei menu is the property's structural draw and runs at higher culinary ambition than most W Hotels' F&B programs.

Akira Back's TONO restaurant and the recording studio give the property F&B and programming depth that most urban W properties don't achieve. The Condé Nast Hot List recognition is unusual for the brand in North American urban markets at this point in its lifecycle.
