The hotel is to open in spring 2014, after the Metropolitan Hotel Toronto finishes undergoing a multi-million dollar conversion. When completed, the property will offer 486 guestrooms, 13,000 square feet of meeting and banquet facilities including an 3,484 square foot ballroom and 18 flexible meeting rooms, and a CAA Four Diamond-rated restaurant."The opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Toronto Downtown is a huge thrill for our brand, as it underscores DoubleTree by Hilton's expanded presence in Canada with four new hotels in the country in just three months", says John Greenleaf, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton, of the brand's latest addition to its Canadian portfolio.
