Rated this place:
Fancy schmacy and damn good afternoon tea: When you step through the doors at the Windsor Arms Hotel, you'll know why it's rated the #1 hotel in Toronto by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine. From start to finish, the service is impeccable, the food is excellent and the elegant decor offers boutique luxury at its best.
The hotel is hidden away off of busy Bloor St. just steps away from trendy Yorkville, Williams-Sonoma and the University of Toronto's beautiful Victoria College campus. Popular amongst locals as much as it is with its visiting guests, the Windsor Arms offers a number of amenities and restaurants to suit your tastes.
A favourite of mine is the Windsor Arm's Tea Room, consistently known as one of Toronto's best High Tea or Afternoon Tea rooms since 1927. The experience is truly an "elegant afternoon indulgence," and perfect for special occasions like bridal showers or a Mother's Day treat. A bright French-style tea room or lush, majestic purple room offer two ambiances to suit your style.
Tea begins with a flute of sparkling wine and a selection of traditional and exotic teas. Asparagus and smoked salmon sandwich roulades, quiche tarts, delicious dessert pastries are served along with some of Toronto's best scones complete with devonshire and jams on the side. An absolute treat and the perfect place to spoil someone special in your life!
