A sneak peek inside the Sheraton Centre Toronto's ongoing transformation | Urbanized
The Sheraton Centre Toronto has towered over downtown for nearly 50 years, but now, the hotel is getting a new look, both inside and out.

That Lobby looks severely degraded from what was there before. I mean this looks like a serious downgrade.

That reception screams Laura Secord.

It's those French Mint-coloured desks!
The rest of it feels like a Joey restaurant. Just a bland, anonymous any-place.

For reference here's what it looked like prior to the renovation, i mean serously how do you screw this up. The warm tones from before were pretty damn inviting:

Toronto renovation just uncovered a colourful surprise hidden away for decades

Tim Reardon, General Manager of Sheraton Centre Toronto, tells blogTO, "As we were working through the largest transformation in the history of the hotel, we uncovered this unique artwork."
"It's such an iconic part of the building and really provides a retrospective look at our 50-year history in Toronto, so we are leaving it exposed for the time being and are hoping we will discover even more about its origin," says Reardon.

Utterly mind numbing/no personality . So they took something that was dated but stylish and replaced it with this? Now it just looks like a run of the mill boring Holiday Inn. I used to enjoy walking through that lobby. Now? Why bother.
At this rate, Toronto will have destroyed every last remnant of 70s/80s architecture/design before the decade is out. It's one thing to lose beautiful stuff for other beautiful stuff but they're replacing it with utter rubbish. Building after building after building is being destroyed by people with no sense whatsoever.
And then people act puzzled when the city is ridiculed for being boring and having no style.

No, they should really restore that. Not every square blank area along the PATH should be reserved for ads. Sometimes there should be spaces along the way to stop and smell the roses, IMO.Toronto renovation just uncovered a colourful surprise hidden away for decades

I may have something.............ya guilted me into digging around.........this is from 2020, but it sounds on point.
This is a request for a lease extension (The City owns the land on which the Sheraton sits) from 2068 to 2108.
The report was adopted by Committee and Council.
So I'm unclear what is being negotiated at this point (if it's related to the original request)
The terms are rather interesting............
