Le Germain Hotel Toronto Mercer is our new favourite place to stay in Toronto. It feels like a secret in the heart of the city, where sleek, modern design is balanced with soft light, rich woods and locally curated art that speaks to Toronto’s creative soul. As the team opens the doors for you, you’re welcomed in with vibrant smiles and the friendliest chit-chat as you check-in and relax while in the city. The lobby feels like a chic living room—an inviting spot to sip, chat, and linger before retreating upstairs. And the rooms? They’re a dream: spacious, serene, and designed to cocoon you in comfort. More than just a place to stay, Le Germain sets the mood—modern, intimate, and undeniably Toronto.
The Neighbourhood

We #CheckedIn to Le Germain Hotel Toronto Mercer during the Toronto International Film Festival and truly believe the hotel sits in the pulse of the city’s Entertainment District. As you wander through the neighbourhood we spotted international celebrities during our stay and loved having everything within walking distance. The city hums with creative energy as we explored cafés, boutique shops, and restaurants—it’s simply a neighbourhood that’s like a dynamic playground to invite you to feel into the perfect balance of city energy and urban sanctuary.
The Rooms

The rooms, well, they are where dreams are made. Designed with a unique blend of comfort and elegance we were swept away as to how spacious the rooms were. Rich wood accents, floor-to-ceiling windows, and soft ambient lighting created a soothing atmosphere, while carefully curated furnishings and locally designed art invited us to take in the sophisticated culture of the city. The lovely cloudlike beds—with feather pillows and goose-down comforters—beckon you in, while the rainfall shower promises a soothing escape from the day’s adventures. The rooms offer a quiet luxury to your stay that we’re so here for.
The Extras

The hotel offers countless spaces to relax, recharge, and simply savor the moment. Whether it’s lounging in the airy, art-filled lobby with a coffee in hand, unwinding after a workout in the well-equipped gym, or retreating to your room after a long day at a TIFF event, the hotel effortlessly blends comfort and style. We indulged in in-room dining, savoring steak frites and a light seasonal salad while streaming our favorite shows—a luxurious pause after a day of exploring, sharing, and connecting. As the sun sets, toast to life on the Rooftop Terrace or celebrate milestones with loved ones at the hotel’s restaurant, where every experience feels thoughtfully designed to delight.
