W Toronto Hotel has unveiled the first phase of its multi-level transformation with the debut of Living Room, the brand’s signature lobby lounge, now reimagined and redesigned as the heartbeat of the hotel.
Located on the ground floor, the all-new lobby lounge and coffee bar, an all-day destination fueling mornings with specialty coffees and pastries, and evolving into a cocktail lounge with live music and performances at night.
“Reimagining Living Room on the ground floor was about creating synergy between W and the city,” said Elie Sassine, general manager of W Toronto Hotel. “Now, when you walk through our doors, you are immersed in the heart of the hotel, where Toronto’s originality and the true identity of the W Hotels brand come to life. Whether guests join us for coffee at sunrise or cocktails at night, Living Room is where the experience culminates.”
Conceived by the internationally acclaimed Chapi Chapo Design, the design concept nods to Yorkville’s 1960s bohemian spirit with inspiration from the polished sophistication of the Mink Mile. The result is a modern lounge that feels fresh yet familiar. Featuring intimate nooks, communal areas, and a dedicated live music zone, Living Room is a destination capturing the vibe of downtown’s trendiest neighbourhoods.
In addition, the hotel will be celebrating the October opening of TONO, a rooftop restaurant led by acclaimed chef and restaurateur Akira Back. The menu will feature Nikkei cuisine, a blend of Japanese precision and Peruvian passion.
