One of the top luxury hotels in Toronto, The Fairmont Royal York is second to none. Host to three generations of the British Royal Family, it's not hard to see why this landmark hotel would be the Queen's first choice. A historical hotel that first opened in 1929, it is still very much still the centre of Downtown Toronto, despite its traditional interiors and rooms. The perfect place to stay if you're looking to be treated like royalty right in the centre of Toronto. The only downside for us, was the lack of intimacy in the hotel lobby and its restaurants - the hotel, despite its sophisticated decor and facilities, is buzzing with activity, which makes it feel more like the train station it was made to look like rather than an exclusive haven.

The four-star Cosmopolitan is situated in a prime busy location right in the heart of the city centre and although it doesn't have much in terms of facilities, it is a good option for guests who like to feel independent and who like staying somewhere with a private atmosphere. The accommodation comprises of apartment-rooms only, meaning that the rooms are spacious and have a residential feel similar to that of a serviced apartment block. The Cosmopolitan is part of the same group as The Pantages, which is close to the Financial District (Yonge and Dundas).

Le Germain on Mercer Street, not to be confused with Le Germain Maple Leaf Square, was without doubt one of our favourite hotels in Toronto as it is an all-round good-value luxury five star hotel. With a subtle business atmosphere and a strong French identity, Le Germain is very distinct from other hotels in the city. Comfortable, very well appointed and thought-out, the hotel is also suitable for leisure guests. Its location, at the heart of the Entertainment district, means that it is within walking distance of most attractions in the area without being right in the middle of the hustle and bustle. A perfect choice for professionals who are used to staying at luxury hotels and for couples looking for a simple yet high standard hotel.

The Soho Metropolitan Hotel is located between the Entertainment district and the Art district of Toronto and is a popular hotel for a wide-ranging clientele, from Jude Law to the average family on holiday. For us, the hotel was a good all-rounder, but didn't make it in our top 10 due to its lacking atmosphere and need for a bit of a refurbishment to freshen up the rooms.

There are two Intercontinental hotels in Toronto, one in Yorkville (north of the city centre) and the Centre property near Front Street, which is the hotel we reviewed. Located in the Financial District, the hotel is also attached to the aluminium and glass clad Metro Centre. The hotel itself is in a prime location, where most attractions are within walking distance and it is near tram lines that take you all over the city. Its atmosphere is more corporate than that of a holiday one. However, if you like your no-fuss standard Intercontinental rooms and service, then it is a suitable hotel. The Intercontinental Toronto Centre isn't often visited by families, but it doesn't have a policy against young children - in fact the hotel even has a dedicated kids' zone. Couples and business people tend to make up the main bulk of the clientele outside of cultural events like the TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival).

Le Germain Maple Leaf Square, not to be confused with the second Le Germain hotel in the city, Le Germain on Mercer Street, is the more contemporary of the two, although in terms of design the two are quite close. The focus here is on aesthetics and the atmosphere is a little livelier than at the Mercer Street hotel, although the staff is still as friendly and efficient. The advantage of the Maple Leaf hotel is its location. Right next to Union Station, the main train station, and in the midst of the financial district, business types might prefer to stay here rather than on Mercer Street. It is also a few minutes' walk from the Air Canada Centre. We liked this property's sleek and young ambience and would recommend it to couples looking for a high-standard no fuss place to stay.

The stately and classic Trump Toronto is one more in the line of Mr. Trump's splendidly luxurious hotels. Recently opened, the opulent hotel's champagne and caviar colour scheme is cosy and slick. Everyone here is treated like a VIP, which is what Trump hotels pride themselves on to distinguish themselves from other five star hotels. Located in the heart of Downtown Toronto, in the Financial District, the hotel is likely to attract more of a business clientele, but for the rest of the family, the rooms are a pleasure to stay at for a long weekend.

The Templar tops our Toronto hotel hot list hands down and without hesitation. An incredible feat of a hotel packed with design features, you'll have a hard time finding something on par. Its nondescript façade may not be much of a giveaway, but bit by bit as you explore the hotel, you will soon understand why it is that this top-notch design boutique hotel is our number one. Ideal for a trendy clientele who is fond of gadgets and who likes being surprised at every turn. Nowhere else will you see so much effort being put into every single detail, and nowhere else will you be able to sit at the chef's table in the kitchen at 3:00am and order - well, whatever your imagination can rustle up! Want to know more? So did we.

One of our favourite hotels in the city, the Thompson is fully deserving of the hype as well as its title as a top-end hotel with a pretentious edge. Located on a quiet backstreet just off Bluejays, it's one of those hotels that you are unlikely to just stumble across, but is fully worth the detour for the restaurant, even if you're not staying here. With stunning open plan interiors and an ultra-exclusive roof-top bar complete with the city's only outdoor (heated) infinity-edged pool, it's is enough to keep you coming back for more every time you visit the city. A contemporary and stylish pocket for arty trendy types wanting an exclusive hang-out away from the hustle and bustle.

The Hazelton, a Leading Hotel of the World, isn't one of those big flashy and brash hotels that are so often associated with luxury hotel status, but it sits discreetly and self-satisfyingly in Yorkville, Toronto's up-scale neighbourhood. The Hazelton is one of the biggest star hangouts in the city, especially for those who want some peace and quiet. As the sophisticated yet understated hushed interiors have been designed to satisfy the most demanding of celebrities, you shouldn't find much to complain about here! An ideal relaxing haven from which to explore the rest of the city, especially if what you're after is a romantic and intimate setting. Although the hotel doesn't turn children away, it isn't the most adapted hotel as there isn't much in the way of activities for young kids. A real home away from home, you don't have to be a star here to be treated like a VIP.

The Drake Hotel, despite its slightly snooty atmosphere, is one of our favourite hotels in Toronto. Small, intimate and completely art mad, you'll have a hard time finding something like it in the rest of the world, let alone in Toronto. There are so many quirky details incorporated in one space that it's hard to know where to begin! It's a hotel that people love to hate because it's got everything just right - but let us reassure you: it's all true. The Drake is one of those hotels that has something for everyone, be in an outdoor space, live music, an incredible flair for art, cosy rooms or friendly staff, the Drake has it all. Located right in the centre of Toronto's art-hub on Queen Street West, this is a great base to explore the rest of the city from, especially for guests who like to do something different every evening without having to go too far afield. The hype that surrounds this hotel is absolutely and completely justified - it is rare that we give hotels a 10/10, but The Drake deserves top marks. Congratulations to the Drake team for getting it spot on!
