Hotel X in Toronto is joining the Destination by Hyatt brand, marking the first foray for the brand into the Canadian market. 

“Hotel X Toronto embodies the spirit of the Destination by Hyatt brand by offering exceptional resort-style experiences which captures the essence of Toronto,” said Scott Richer, vice president of development and owner relations for Canada, Hyatt. “We’re looking forward to continuing to grow Hyatt’s brand presence in Canada and expand our classics portfolio in exciting new locations that our guests and 54 million World of Hyatt members expect.”

Hotel X has positioned itself as Toronto’s “premier urban resort” with an emphasis on wellness and sustainability. The property features a year-round heated rooftop pool with panoramic views, the first Guerlain Spa in Canada, and 10XTO, a 90,000-square-foot athletic club with tennis courts, squash courts, and fitness studios. Guests can also enjoy a curated art gallery by Neil Dankoff, a 250-seat cinema, a private screening room, and a selection of exceptional dining venues plus flexible event spaces and beautifully landscaped gardens.

“Hotel X Toronto was designed to be more than a hotel - it is an experience that blends wellness, culture, and recreation,” said Fariyal Hasham, Managing Director at Hotel X Toronto. “Joining Destination by Hyatt allows us to stay true to our unique vision while tapping into Hyatt's global reach, connecting travelers from around the world to our sophisticated urban resort.”

Hyatt has quintupled its presence in Canada over the last decade and is pleased to add this arm of the brand. Destination by Hyatt bills itself as a diverse collection of independent hotels, resorts and residences that are individual at heart yet “connected by a commitment to embody the true spirit of each location” with an emphasis on authentic design and warm and welcoming service.
