Best in what way? Physical plant? If best in terms of the best overall luxury hotel in terms of the quality of physical plant, service, and amenities, it's a bit too early to judge that. However, some early reviews I've heard the service and amenities are positive. The RC should emerge as...

I put no stock in TA reviews when it comes to the high-end market of hotels and restaurants. It is a great tool for pictures though. A better source is for honest, in-depth reviews is the flyertalk site. People who actually travel and stay in these type of properties on at least a semi-regular...

http://www.torontolife.com/daily/daily-dish/restauranto/2011/03/04/confirmed-two-new-momofuku-restaurants-coming-to-toronto-in-2012/ So will Chang actually be in the SL? Or is the SL having a different restaurant I'm confused.

How does this compare to the Shangri-La Vancouver in terms of design, layout, and features? Is the Vancouver property poor in construction quality?

How will the features and construction quality compare with Vancouver? I've read some comments on the Vancouver project of being of poor quality. Is this true? What does that mean?

Same here. I remember reading an article on how RC was starting to move away from it's "classic" decor and introducing a contemporary luxury elegance that reflects its location. The RC Georgetown was among the first to move towards this philosophy, with newer properties like the RC Dallas and...

Toronto does seem to the place to be now. I'm guessing part of the investment into new construction (and re-construction), the chic factor that it is getting with all the new luxury hotels/condos, the growth in the airport of new airlines and destinations, the restaurant scene is shifting for...

Any idea on how much sq. footage? Also, with the One Bloor development back on, and with 100,000 sq. feet of retail space planned, will this be filled up by the high-end designers who are looking to enter the GTA market and can't get on Bloor?

Interesting news. I wonder if the 100,000 sq ft of retail space will complement the tony designers on Bloor Street and allow those who are looking for space on Bloor to get a Toronto-area boutique. Also, I wonder if Gordon Ramsay would still be interested in this development. Rumor was...

What's the plans for the FS site? I thought they were just converting them to condos?

http://www.torontolife.com/daily/daily-dish/rumours-rumblings/2010/02/08/new-york-legend-scott-conant-to-open-new-restaurant-in-toronto/ Interesting.

http://www.torontolife.com/daily/daily-dish/rumours-rumblings/2010/02/08/new-york-legend-scott-conant-to-open-new-restaurant-in-toronto/ Is it going to be an outpost of Scarpetta? Or a Scott Conant restaurant? Either way, pretty cool. I'm kind of excited to see what the sushi bar will be...

Thanks Greg. Very minimilastic in design in terms of the store. Luggage pieces look very strong, would travel very well (must work well for fragile items inside), and stylish. I hate to think what the price tags are.

Make sense. Hopefully it continues to improve. I wonder how the fortunes of Bay Street will help the restaurant industry. I know, everyone eats out. But you need deep pockets to allow chefs to get better quality products and maybe do things they might not do on a smaller budget (I know, price...

Interesting. What do you feel Toronto is lacking in terms of food? Do you feel it is getting better in the last decade or so with talented chefs like Mark McEwan and Jamie Kennedy leading the charge? With the upcoming restaurants that should debut in the next two or three years in all of these...

Sounds cool. Hopefully someone can get a picture of it. Sounds like Riwowa is the "Rolls-Royce" of the luggage area. Are they a well-known, luxury brand? Pretty cool Toronto has only the second store in the North America.

As a mid-20 year old living in the Buffalo-Niagara region, I find that funny. Now Torontonians/Ontario residents come down to shop. :) I been to Toronto three times in my life (the last time in 2006) and I love the city. Looking at all the new developments, the new new excitement, and the...

Plus all the smaller, luxury properties (maybe not "5-star", but rather upscale) such as the Thompson Hotels and the Maple Leaf project. What I love about the 4 major projects (Shangri-La, Trump, RC, and FS) is they are very large, ambitious projects for what each company is used too...

I can't believe how big this site is. Looking at pics of the Ritz-Carlton's beautiful project, I can't wait to see these other 3 luxury hotel/condo properties get the stage where the RC is at right now.

Great pics. One of these days, when I get to Toronto, I would love to go the Roof Lounge (Park Hyatt) and see the skyline. Have they started construction on the interior?
