FAIRMONT ROYAL YORK FULL HOTEL TOUR 2020 | Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada

[@janieg8287]

My then 11-year-old daughter and I took the train from Michigan to Toronto in 1992 and stayed here. It was a trip to remember!

[@WherewegoingNext]

That’s such a nice memory! Did you enjoy your stay ?

[@janieg8287]

@@WherewegoingNext Yes, we did a lot of sightseeing, mostly exploring on foot. It was so fun!

[@WherewegoingNext]

@@janieg8287 so niiice! It’s changed a lot since then! Glad you enjoyed it !! Thanks for watching 😌. We’re heading back next weekend for some Christmas events! Videos up on KZbin soon !!

[@temperhollow7716]

I love this hotel and was lucky to see Ginger Rogers perform here back in the 1970's.

[@WherewegoingNext]

Temper Hollow that’s so cool !! I’m happy they’ve been able to redecorate inside and still keep elements of the history!

[@everettvincent1688]

I stayed here around the time you did. Very nice place! Our room was massive I really like the living room part of it it was very nice!

[@WherewegoingNext]

Cool! Seemed like a simpler time! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! We did another video on the gold room. Really posh!

[@ryanruss4kwalks53]

Nice tour. The hotel lobby is so huge. Probably the best and the most beautiful one i've seen in toronto.. But the 'good morning' greeting in 4:29 I'm like 'what?!' 😁😁..and then there you go...

[@WherewegoingNext]

Hahaha! I agree, the lobby is spectacular! Thanks for checking in!

[@I34R]

I live in Toronto and every time my mom and I pass by here we always wondered how it looked inside I’d like to sit at the restaurant one day

[@WherewegoingNext]

Just go in! You can walk in anytime and take a look! 👀

[@I34R]

@@WherewegoingNext I thought only guests were allowed will do next time:)

[@WherewegoingNext]

@@I34R Hmm Might be a little more strict during COVID, but the restaurants are public places. At Christmas, everyone comes inside to take a picture of the tree and decorations!! :) :)

[@I34R]

@@WherewegoingNext once restrictions are lifted I’m going to go and see thanks for the info:))

[@WherewegoingNext]

We are staying at the Royal York in March of 25 for a couple of nights before boarding the Canadian to cross Canada. We are staying at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver for three nights at the other end of our train journey. Your video tour is getting me really excited for our visit. BTW, I have my Accor account setup.

[@WherewegoingNext]

Wow sounds like a great trip! Enjoy!

[@bruceverneyiii4852]

My favourite place! Just booked my Christmas there!!

[@WherewegoingNext]

Enjoy! Happy holidays!

[@melanierully5069]

Thankyou. Great tour.

[@WherewegoingNext]

Thanks for watching!

[@katiekat1356]

You didn't look at the ceiling in the lobby. You missed the most beautiful hidden gem!

[@WherewegoingNext]

😲 what did I miss???

[@larryclark6212]

Use to travel from Battle Creek Michigan USA to Toronto by Amtrak Train and stay at the Royal York Hotel. Love the Hotel.

[@wandacapstick5476]

Charlie Capstick used to live at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel for 6 months when he was 5 years old.

[@user-ub1gz8lx8c]

They actually have a good room fridge I miss that kind of thing.

[@WherewegoingNext]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@anhbinbaccuc8850]

It seems you didn't go down to the basement where it connects to the PATH Toronto underground city

[@WherewegoingNext]

You're right. I left it out of the tour. It is quite the network of shops and connecting tunnels though!! :D

[@ryanruss4kwalks53]

15:13.. So they provide a lotion from le labo? Pretty luxurious..

[@WherewegoingNext]

My wife loves that lotion! Apparently getting it from the store is quite expensive! Pretty cool they have it there.

[@aton87]

Actually this was the very first life sized gingerbread house at Fairmont Royal York, created by chef jW Foster inspired by New York brownstone. Stood 25 feet high and 6 feet deep, it held 4,500 gingerbread bricks 500 pounds of royal icing. The inside was designed by @FrankReaEventDesigns

[@WherewegoingNext]

It was amazing to see in person! Added a nice character to the lobby during the holidays!!

[@janinewetzler5037]

Ya know, there aren't enough like emojis for that Ginger Bread House !

[@janinewetzler5037]

So, Christmas 2021 the front check in desk needs to be made of gingerbread, and candy mosaic'd !

[@stephanblack4558]

When this Hotel was built it was the highest building in Toronto.

[@WherewegoingNext]

Stephan Black isn’t it amazing to see how things have progressed? Sometimes I think that those were simpler times..🤷🏻‍♂️

[@AbdulKalam-xp5ft]

Is it very helpfull for a hospitality student.

[@WherewegoingNext]

Oh great! I'm glad you found this little video helpful!

[@lpriesta]

is the restaurant included in the prices ?

[@WherewegoingNext]

No. You have to pay for the restaurants separately from your room rate.

[@wandacapstick5476]

Your room was on the 12th floor, right?

[@WherewegoingNext]

Don’t remember! It’s been a while since we filmed this tour

[@brendanboivin6152]

whats the equivalent of the fairmont in new york?

[@WherewegoingNext]

The Plaza is owned by Fairmont. That would probably be a good comparison. Plaza being one of the nicer Fairmont hotels.

[@BIG_FETUS]

What room is this?

[@WherewegoingNext]

It’s just a generic room. We have a separate video that tours one of the gold rooms

[@wandacapstick5476]

Did the Fairmont Royal York Hotel close for renovations?

[@WherewegoingNext]

It did a few years back I think 🤔

[@wandacapstick5476]

You mean just parts of it or the entire hotel?

[@WherewegoingNext]

I believe a few parts at a time

[@wandacapstick5476]

Parts of the hotel were still open during renovations.

[@WherewegoingNext]

Yeah, when the lobby was being renovated, the rooms were still open 👍🏻

[@jenshaw1509]

I can't take a nap.n the Riverdale park as cops tell me to leave!

[@alleybear1234]

At the start of your video you got East and West confused. When you enter East is to your left and West is to your right. You said it the other way around. Other than that very good video.

[@WherewegoingNext]

Ahh shoot. Thanks for pointing that out. Sometimes I get spun around in DT Toronto

[@pryamewa4909]

What the most luxurious hotel downtown toronto?

[@WherewegoingNext]

Fairmont is right up there. Especially if you opt for the gold level. Shangri’la is another excellent hotel experience too

[@wandacapstick5476]

Why does the Fairmont Royal York Hotel have a UK Flag?

[@WherewegoingNext]

🤷🏼‍♀️ maybe bc Canada is part of the British monarchy?

[@wandacapstick5476]

The Fairmont Royal York Hotel has travelers from the UK as well.

[@ElectMun]

Isnt this hotel haunted.

[@WherewegoingNext]

I haven’t heard about that - but, could be!

[@wandacapstick5476]

Why does the Fairmont Royal York have a USA Flag?

[@WherewegoingNext]

🤷🏼‍♀️ they have a number of different flags hanging in the front. My guess would be that the company that owns the hotel has other locations around the world. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@wandacapstick5476]

Visitors from the USA stay the Fairmont Royal York Year Round.

[@WherewegoingNext]

@@wandacapstick5476 yup. Parent company Accor Live Limitless is 🇺🇸

[@wandacapstick5476]

A lot of people know who Queen Elizabeth II & Prince Philip are.

[@WherewegoingNext]

I think they’ve visited the Fairmont in the past!

[@wandacapstick5476]

Queen Elizabeth II & Prince Philip are strangers though.

[@WherewegoingNext]

🤷🏼‍♀️

[@jenshaw1509]

None of the cirque du soleil are my friends only Barnum and Bailey circus people are.friends!!!

[@silverbackmadness9630]

600-800 dollars a night

[@WherewegoingNext]

Depends on the room you get 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@rautusrividya152]

What the do not go to the 8th floor and 13th floor. these floors are haunted

[@WherewegoingNext]

Never knew 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@jenshaw1509]

I am not welcome to stay at this hotel.or any hotel.in Ontario. There are many hidden outside trees that perhaps I could seep.near.

[@stephanblack4558]

No one there they are all stealing and running out the back door.
