ENQUIRE

Highlights

Location: Positioned on Hazelton Avenue in Yorkville, the hotel sits between Toronto’s most established galleries, museums and independent boutiques, with Bloor Street and the Royal Ontario Museum moments away.
Accommodation: Rooms and suites are notably generous by city standards, designed for extended stays with proper seating areas, large bathrooms, walk-in wardrobes and soundproofing that genuinely limits street noise.
Design: Contemporary interiors lean towards dark woods, leather and clean-lined furnishings, creating a residential feel rather than a corporate hotel aesthetic. Public spaces are calm and deliberately understated.
Dining: One Restaurant is an Italian dining room that attracts as many locals as hotel guests, known for consistent cooking, a well-curated wine list and a relaxed but professional atmosphere.
Wellness: The spa includes an indoor saltwater pool, steam rooms, treatment suites and a gym suited to longer stays rather than quick hotel workouts.
Privacy & service: A low-key approach to service, private entrances and an in-house cinema contribute to a reputation for discretion, appealing to guests who value anonymity as much as comfort.

Are children welcome?

Yes — children are welcome at The Hazelton Hotel, with a few points worth noting:

General policy: Children are welcome to stay when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Rooms & bedding: Baby cots can be requested, and rollaway beds are available in some rooms for older children, subject to space.
Suitability: Large rooms and suites make the hotel practical for families, particularly for longer stays.
Pool access: Children are allowed to use the indoor saltwater pool under adult supervision.
Dining: One Restaurant accommodates children, though it is a refined, adult-leaning dining room rather than a family-focused setting.
Overall feel: While family-friendly, the atmosphere remains quiet and discreet, appealing more to well-travelled families than those seeking a child-centred hotel.

Why we love The Hazelton

This is a wonderfully tranquil hotel in the heart of a busy city. Somehow, it feels like you are getting two breaks in one; an exciting city and a peaceful retreat all at the same time.
