Where to Go in the GTA

March 6, 2015

Each neighbourhood  of the Greater Toronto Area offers a myriad of distinct activities, eateries and attractions. Whether you’re staying in the city’s core or in a bordering area, there are plenty of things to do for both leisure and business travelers alike.

If you want to have fun in a big group, go to…

…Downtown Toronto

Why visit: Millions of visitors flock to Canada’s largest city that’s lauded its world-famous attractions.

Enjoy a meal at the Hard Rock Cafe which looks out on the bustling Yonge-Dundas Square. This popular spot hosts numerous events that range from musical performances to magic shows to pop-up markets. This prime location situates visitors directly across the city’s largest shopping destination, the Toronto Eaton Centre. And of course, a trip to Toronto isn’t complete without a bird’s eye view of the city from the CN Tower.

…Midtown Toronto

Why visit: This area provides a big city feel without the hecticness of downtown Toronto and it offers more green space, perfect for family picnics and outdoor adventures.

Spend an entire day at the Ontario Science Centre Kids will love to explore the innovative and interactive displays or watch an IMAX film. Enjoy a sunny day at David A. Balfour Park – this 20 hectare area features ornamental fountains, a gated garden, children’s playground and reflecting pools.

…North York, Toronto

Why visit: This location is extremely accessible for both drivers and commuters, as it’s in close proximity to Highways 400, 401 and 404, as well as multiple TTC subway stations. It also offers plenty of the perks of downtown without the congestion.

Bayview Village is the area’s premier shopping destination. It features a variety of brand name retailers like the Gap and Brooks Brothers, as well as sophisticated boutiques. There are plenty of places to grab a delicious treat from while taking a break from splurging, including Oliver and Bonacini Cafe and Grill and Aroma Espresso Bar.

Mary-am Suites - COVID-19 Update for Guests

Our hearts go out to all those who have been affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Rest assured that we are closely monitoring the situation and taking steps to protect our team members and guests as the situation continues to evolve.

Business Continuity

Our first step was to invoke our Business Continuity Plan. We are entirely digital and do not rely on any manual processes. We are also completely cloud-based and diversified through our use of Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Our office team is mobile-ready and has access to all critical infrastructure, including our cloud-based phone and booking systems. Rest assured - we are prepared to continue serving you.

Flexible Cancellations

For any new reservations booked directly with us, and until April 30, 2020, the booking can be cancelled at any time before arrival and with no cancellation fee.

New Arrivals

Toronto Public Health announced enhanced measures to protect the public on March 13, 2020, and are currently in effect until April 5, 2020. Anyone who has travelled from anywhere outside Canada, including the United States, is asked to self-isolate and avoid contact with others for 14 days.

For All Stays

Weekly Touch Up Service

For your safety and ours, weekly touch up service is cancelled until April 30, 2020. We encourage guests to utilize the ensuite washer and dryer to launder their linens and towels. For guests wishing to receive fresh linens, please send a request through Guest Services, and we will arrange to pick up your used linens (left in a bag at the front door inside the suite) and drop off fresh linen for you to use.

Our Commitment to High Cleaning Standards

We have always utilized commercial hospitality-grade cleaning procedures and supplies. We use specialized chemicals for different surfaces to ensure optimal disinfection. We also use new gloves and separate microfibre cleaning cloths for each suite to prevent cross-contamination. Any linens or cleaning cloths supplies by us have been professionally sanitized at a large commercial laundry facility.

Suite Visits by Guest Services & Maintenance

Until April 30, 2020, we will not conduct any suite tours for prospective guests, nor will any of our Maintenance or Guest Services team members visit occupied suites for any issues other than those relating to essential services.

We recognize that these are challenging times. Like many before it, this too will pass, and together we will get through it. Know that we are working around the clock to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable stay. We remain at your service 24/7 should you have any questions or concerns.

Yours in hospitality.
