Nick GrayNovember 9, 2015I liked this hotel a lot. Turn down service, free wifi, breakfast, pool, sauna (open 24h for hotel guests), radio in the bathroom, etc. Very classy and even nice art in the rooms.- ToryBurchMay 3, 2012An intimate, all-suite luxury hotel situated in the heart of the city, the historic 26-room Windsor Arms boasts pretty rooms, an indoor pool and a spa famous for its massages.
Sit in the front bar, order the $1.25 oysters on Tuesday nights and see if you can get the grill cheese with gravy that's not on the menu (if Antony's working its a plus&enjoy the drinks)
- Lee SimpsonJuly 13, 2016One of the nicest hotels I've ever been too. Super friendly staff and the rooms are superb.
- Get the plater for sharing served in The Living Room. its #delish
TIFFAugust 28, 2013The Toronto International Film Festival was founded in the Windsor Arms Hotel in 1976, and the hotel's involvement in the Festival continues to this day.
Lewis BrodyJune 3, 2018The atmosphere is charming and elegant. The food on the other hand is par at best. Service was friendly. Overall I wouldn’t come for the food but the company was great.- Deb LewisAugust 31, 2012Who can deny the high tea is one of the best. There are also some great cocktail lounges and great for weddings
Metro NewsSeptember 1, 2010Anglophiles should head to the Windsor Arms for high tea, where you can sip sparkling wine, nibble smoked salmon sandwiches, discuss the weather, and practice your Queen Mum impression. Read more
Sotheby's International Realty CanadaNovember 4, 2011This is the most authentic tea in the city. The Chai Arms tea, a special blend made specifically for The Windsor Arms, is a must-try.- Aimee QuennevilleJanuary 26, 2013The scones and Devon cream with strawberry preserves are so, so good!
WinterliciousDecember 23, 2012Join us at Prime in the Windsor Arms Hotel January 25 – February 7, 2013 for a delicious, 3-course, prix fixe meal as part of Toronto's Winterlicious. #LiciousTO
- Sotheby's International Realty CanadaJanuary 5, 2012If you like the hotel, you could live in the Windsor Arms Condominium Residences. Residents have access to all hotel amenities including 24 hour room service, housekeeping, salon and spa.
- Ask for th grilled cheese (no meat) w/ gravy for dipping. Not on the menu, but one of the best things "on" the bar menu
Amanda RoseFebruary 2, 2015Go for a drink here as the space is very cool but avoid the food unless it's snacks.
Rob CAugust 11, 2013I've gone here several times over the years and the quality and service have declined. Chipped teapots? Leaving dirty dishes on the table? Not the experience for high tea that it should be.
Try Prime Restaurant, the Steak and Creme Brulee are outstanding!Garlic Broccolini is a great side also...
kevin kiernanJune 16, 2023Looong in the tooth; surprisingly run down and worse for wear. Premium pricing does not provide the luxury they promise.
Sarah YuAugust 8, 2010High tea here rocks. 50$ a head when I went but a must-try. The Scones R to die for!- Stop by on Tuesdays for Oysters - $1.25 per oyster and special beverage surprises - 6pm to 10pm
- Try the new menu in Lounge 22 - U won't be disappointed!
- Great spot for your holiday party - dates still available
Kara McIntoshDecember 25, 2009Try the Chai when you go for high tea. The spices are fragrant and delicious.
Try the Sunday Brunch it is suppose to be amazing! Read more
Don't bother ordering the ahi tuna. The waitress said they haven't had it in a long time and owners should change the menu.
Cécile C.May 2, 2015Superbe décor classique. Le brunch du dimanche est majestueux: nous avons même eu des îles flottantes ! Apportez votre appétit
