The Best Hotel Bars in Toronto

The best hotel bars in Toronto used to be one of the few places you could go to get a decent cocktail, with bartenders who had years of experience, plush surroundings, and the budget to splash on the really good bottles of scotch and cognac. Since the restaurant renaissance that has seen Toronto picking up some global recognition for its dining and cocktail scene, hotels are no longer the go-to spots they once were.

That said, there's something really enjoyable about sweeping through the lobby of a grand hotel to grab a drink. In most cases, everyone's dressed pretty well, so if you're meeting someone for a business drink, these bars are a safe bet. Finally, many hotels place their bars on sumptuous rooftops or private decks, so they also offer some of the best summer drinking options anywhere in the city.

These are the best hotel bars in Toronto.
