HOTEL X TORONTO BY THE LIBRARY HOTEL COLLECTION PROUDLY WELCOMES FIRST GUESTS Highly anticipated hotel located in Exhibition Place opens its doors for soft opening March 20, 2018 (Toronto, ON): Hotel X Toronto by Library Hotel Collection proudly welcomed its first guests today, as the first step in its soft opening phase. The luxury hotel, located in the heart of Exhibition Place, is now able to welcome guests in 404 lakefront rooms and suites, with a plan in place to have amenities and public areas open in phases in the upcoming months. When complete, the development will be Toronto’s first lakefront urban oasis, complete with four indoor tennis courts, two outdoor pools, two cinemas, four food and beverage outlets, and TEN X TORONTO, the largest hotel athletic and wellness facility in Canada. According to Library Hotel Collection President Henry Kallan, Hotel X Toronto is the result of years of hard work, combined with an ambitious vision to create something totally unique. “We were inspired by this site and the vibrant city of Toronto to think beyond anything that exists in hospitality today. Hotel X Toronto sits on nine-acres of waterfront land and yet it is just minutes from the downtown core. The idea of an urban oasis with all the amenities of a luxury resort grew from there.” The hotel will be offering current guests a number of courtesies until the hotel is fully operational, including complimentary continental breakfast and afternoon wine and cheese, served in the Library Club Lounge. Guests also have access to Starbucks, open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, and as the food and beverage outlets are not yet open, the hotel is offering complimentary transportation to numerous restaurants located in the vicinity. In addition, all current guests will enjoy complimentary valet parking until self-parking is available. Food and beverage outlets in the hotel will begin to open in late March, and meeting spaces will be open for bookings as of early April. TEN X TORONTO will be available to hotel guests in mid April and open for private membership in the beginning of May. The Spa is slated to open in fall 2018, while the TEN X TORONTO rooftop pool prepares to open in summer 2019. The Library Hotel Collection properties have a reputation for kind, unpretentious, customer-focused service and have received numerous awards over the years, including most recently the Aria Hotel Budapest being named “Number One Hotel in the World, 2017” by TripAdvisor. Reservations are currently open for stays in March 2018 and pre-opening prices with 30 per cent off Best Flexible Rate are available from now to May 31, 2018 while the hotel is still “In Previews”.
