The Destination
With a spate of recent improvements to the downtown area, Toronto has cemented itself as an entertainment center for live events and cultural exploration with its glittering boutiques, trendy restaurants, and cutting-edge theater productions that match the grandeur of its Manhattan-esque skyline. There's always something happening around the "Times Square of Toronto" (Yonge-Dundas Square), whether it's a fashion show at Eaton Centre, an opera at the world's last Edwardian-style theater (Elgin & Winter Garden), or beneath the streets along the city's storied 28-kilometer PATH.

The Digs
Embedded in the heart of the downtown scene, the Cambridge Suites Hotel delivers a quintessentially urban experience. Boasting a personalized boutique-style experience (with just 12 suites per floor), this intimate four-star hotel doesn't skimp on big-time grandeur. Spacious suites offer separate living and dining areas with granite-top entertainment wet bars peppered with premium amenities like in-room coffee makers, while sumptuous king-size beds boast deluxe pillow-top mattresses, 300-thread-count linens, and double goose-down duvets. Kick-start mornings with a hot breakfast buffet available at Portico, before you hit the swanky downtown gym. Then scope out the city's hottest attractions, all located just minutes from your door.
