This swanky trendster lounge has been billed as one of the hottest places in the west end to see and be seen. It's not easy to find parking, but it is TTC accessible. What's nice about this place is the upstairs patio - a perfect place to enjoy Sunday brunch and a pitcher of their fantastic sangria.

I recommend this place.

The rooms are nice but there are only a handfull of those and they fetch a high price. To be honest, nobody really goes here for the hotel aspect - its all about the bar & lounge & cafe & dining room. Their in queen west to capitalise on the artistic culture in that area and to some extent to gentrify it. the place has a nice yet relaxed interior and decent food though it is a little overpriced and there is a lot of hype surrounding everything that goes on here. If you get past the hype the place is adequite but you'll have to ignore all the pretence exhibited by a lot of the crowd they tend to draw - particularly when there is a cultural event going on.

I recommend this place.
