MILLION AIR FLIGHT BRIEFING TORONTO, CANADA

Tempting Toronto SERVING AS CANADA’S CULTURAL EPICENTER FOR GENERATIONS, TORONTO NOW HAS ITS SIGHTS SET ON THE WORLD

WHERE TO STAY A taste of the ancient east in the modern west, the Shangri-La Toronto hotel rises from the city’s center, offering sumptuous accommodations inside and sweeping skyline views. After a long day of travel, the Caudalie-developed Miraj Hammam Spa is a great place to start your stay. But it’s the dramatic 1,100-sq-ft Owner’s Suite, boasting floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, that will keep you coming back, trip after trip. 188 University Avenue, +1 647 788 8888, shangri-la.com/toronto

WHERE TO EAT Perched on top of Toronto’s CN Tower, 360 Restaurant takes fine dining, quite literally, to new heights. While the views are absolutely breathtaking, the food developed by executive chef Peter George still takes center stage. Don’t forget to pair your meal with a bottle from the award-winning wine selection, housed in the highest wine ‘cellar’ on Earth, which comes outfitted with precision climate controls, redwood racks and, of course, its own private tasting table. 301 Front Street West, +1 416 362 5411, cntower.ca WHERE TO FLY Less than an hour drive from downtown Toronto, Million Air Toronto joins the city’s world-renowned symphony and a tempting array of gourmet restaurants in offering luxury amenities, including a concierge service, on-site rental cars, a hospitality bar and more — all for the discerning traveler.

The city skyline

Finally, because this is Canada after all, a tour of the Hockey Hall of Fame is all but mandatory, as is an excursion to the world-class Royal Ontario Museum, featuring artifacts spanning the whole of human history.

Perched on the northwest shores of Lake Ontario, a two-hour drive from Niagara Falls, Toronto has long stood as a cosmopolitan ambassador to Canada. Outdoor adventures and, of course, hockey abound in the remarkably beautiful area. But today, Toronto, with its thriving art scene and diverse population, also assumes the mantle of a truly international metropolis. Once the tallest freestanding structure in the world, the CN Tower climbs above Toronto’s Entertainment District to a height of over 1,800 ft, affording views of the Harbourfront Centre to the south and the city's sprawling skyline to the north. Guests looking for more than a vista can book an EdgeWalk, which hooks guests to the tower’s outer catwalk for the world’s tallest 360-degree, hands-free walk. When the adrenaline buzz has worn off, make sure to grab tickets to a cultural spectacle hosted at the Four Seasons Centre, just blocks from the tower and Toronto’s best restaurants and hotels. Designed by the award-winning local firm Diamond Schmitt Architects, it boasts ideal sight lines and acoustics for ballet and opera performances, and follows in the tradition of world-renowned cultural institutions such as the Sydney Opera House. Opened in 2006, it was the first theater in Canada built specifically for opera and ballet performances, and is home to the Canadian Opera Company and the National Ballet of Canada, making it a must-see destination.
