Character and identity
The Ace's first Canadian outpost is a 14-story new-build on a tight corner of the Garment District, designed by Shim-Sutcliffe to echo the area's heritage warehouses through pre-cast red brick and monumental structural concrete arches. The 123 rooms blend Ace minimalism with Douglas fir cabinetry, custom quilts by Kyle Parent, in-room guitars and turntables, and deep window benches over St. Andrew's Playground Park. The soaring lobby functions as an "urban living room," with a bar platform suspended on steel cables above Alder, the subterranean wood-fired restaurant from chef Patrick Kriss. Rooftop bar Evangeline handles cocktails, small plates and DJs.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate travellers, creatives and food-and-scene types who want to be embedded between Queen West, Chinatown and King West. Couples and solo visitors who'll appreciate the art programme (works by Sutcliffe, Dennis Lin, Nadia Gohar and others), the cooking at Alder, and lobby-as-living-room culture.
Should look elsewhere:
Families: this is essentially a grown-ups' playpen, with few kids in evidence. Drivers will baulk at the absence of parking. And anyone expecting uniformly polished service should know it runs intermittently solicitous to casual, with the rooftop especially hit or miss once the music starts.
Bottom line
What anchors a stay here is the architecture-and-art experience plus Alder's wood-fired cooking, not flawless five-star choreography. Book if you want to be in the thick of downtown Toronto's creative quarter and will use the lobby as much as the room. Pick a higher floor facing the park for the window-bench views, and don't skip the grilled octopus or the coconut cream pie.
