The fitness center on the second floor is open from 6 am until midnight. Apart from a hot breakfast in the morning, there is no on-site restaurant; it’s unnecessary as cafes and restaurants are on the hotel’s doorstep.

The rooms are spacious and contemporary in design. Hilton Honors members are eligible for discounted room rates as the hotel is part of the Hilton group. Pets are as welcome as you are.

The Chelsea Hotel Toronto is one of the most booked, upscale gay-friendly hotels in Toronto’s gayborhood.

It’s conveniently located one block from the College subway station and is a 10-minute stroll to the start of the Church-Wellesley gayborhood.

In a city where a hotel pool is like a unicorn, Chelsea Hotel one-ups the rest by having two pools. The family-friendly one is on the second floor, but our favorite is the adults-only one on level 27. It’s indoor and heated for year-round use. There’s also a whirlpool and a full-scale gym.
