What we love about this stay
Ask for a higher-floor room with west-facing windows — the Toronto skyline at golden hour is genuinely worth timing your evening around, and those expansive frames turn the whole room into a living painting. Head to the garden terrace mid-morning before it fills up; the mix of birdsong and muted city noise is oddly meditative, and it's the best spot for coffee from the cafe. At dinner, lean into whatever's seasonal on the restaurant menu — the kitchen does its strongest work with local produce, so trust the specials over the staples. Evenings, skip the crowded lounges early and arrive after nine, when the pace slows and the bartenders have room to actually talk. Done right, this place quietly rewires your sense of what a city stay can feel like.

The Annex is like if you went to stay with a friend who has a place in a really cool part of Toronto and has great taste in decor. The king size bed is more like a platform with a futon. There is a long shelf that serves as a table. There are more than ample electric outlets for our gazillion devices. The luxury toiletries come in large bottles, the bathroom has double shower heads. Even though the hotel has a bar next to it and downstairs, the sound proofing was good enough that we heard nothing in our 2nd floor room. Breakfast was included with a barista making our coffee in the morning. The only downside is there is no elevator so my husband had to lug our 40 lb suitcase up a flight of stairs. Not a deal-breaker - but it might be something to consider if you are planning to stay here. Scott Pilgrim vs the World is set in the Annex neighborhood, so my husband totally geeked out over the location. We felt like we were having a local experience. Everything is within walking distance that for the first couple of days we didn’t even get on to public transport.

The Annex has really modern rooms and is reasonably priced. Definitely worth every penny staying here. The staff are very polite and courteous. The wine bar is amazing. Great place to unwind and enjoy some food and drinks. Really good coffee here too.

Convenient, modern, clean, comfy. There are a lot of nice touches at the Annex, like the soaps and lotions, the records, and the art. This is a good spot for young couples and small groups. Not your traditional hotel.

Tucked away in the Annex neighborhood, is a hotel that is truly representative of the essence and embodiment of the Downtown District in Toronto. Proximity to attractions such as the Royal Ontario Museum, the St Lawrence Market and Rogers Centre made exploring the area easy and inviting. The Annex is a boutique hotel has everything you need; privacy, excellent room accoutrements (top shelf comfort for a good night’s sleep), a turntable with selected music, bluetooth speaker, an iPad with Netflix access, secure entry, a wine bar and patio and the concierge service is exceptional. I needed to obtain something very specific and they went the distance, and then some, to find and procure the item. Each morning we started the day with tasty pastries and some of the best coffee anywhere. The whole vibe here is one of comfort and care. The next time I am in Toronto I will definitely stay with the people and scene we found at The Annex.
