“Toronto grande dame, generous staff”
The Omni King Edward Hotel is a 1903 grande dame renovated to outshine many newer hotels: a soaring chandeliered lobby, spotless classically styled rooms with comfortable bedding, and a walkable core spot near St Lawrence Market, Eaton Centre, metro and rail. Staff are notably generous — a microwave and cutlery carried to a room on request, suite upgrades for first-time guests and families, a waived child's breakfast with gifts of bread and coffee, and a friendly restaurant manager. Minor flags: a faint carpet smell, loud air conditioning, and keycard-free lifts.
