There's also High Tea in themed tea rooms and a buffet breakfast available (for a surcharge) – ideal for slow mornings after a late night. While 24/7 room service isn’t explicitly listed, the dining here is flexible and guest-focused.

Nightlife Options

Guests rave about the elegant décor, attentive staff, and peaceful atmosphere despite the central location. The spa and wellness amenities earn high marks, and the rooms are praised for their comfort and spaciousness. Many reviews highlight the hotel as a hidden gem for a luxe Toronto experience.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the hotel’s old-world style may not be for everyone—if you’re after ultra-modern vibes, this might feel more classic than cool. Also, breakfast isn’t included, and parking can be pricey. But for most, the charm and location more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want to pair the excitement of live music with a sophisticated, restful stay, the Windsor Arms Hotel hits all the right notes.
