When opened in 1929, the Royal York Hotel was the largest hotel and briefly the tallest building in the whole of the British Empire. As one of Canada's grand railway hotels, and located directly across the street from Union Station in downtown Toronto, this luxurious property originally boasted over 1000 rooms and welcomed prominent guests from around the world.
The Fairmont Royal York has undergone numerous upgrades and renovations over the decades and today remains one of Toronto, Ontario's preeminent luxury hotels. As such, it has hosted numerous celebrities, heads of state, and royalty during its illustrious history. Here are a few visuals from a stay at the Fairmont Royal York.
Completed in 1976, the CN Tower in downtown Toronto, Ontario is a communications and observation tower that is arguably one of Canada's most recognizable landmarks. For 32 years the CN Tower held the record as the world's tallest free standing structure before it was surpassed in height in 2007 by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
The CN Tower attracts over 2 million visitors annually and features two observation platforms, glass floors, an outdoor platform, and a revolving restaurant. To this day the CN Tower remains a Toronto icon, and at 1815 feet tall, still an epic place to take in views of the city.
