The brand new Ace Hotel Toronto has officially opened for business and it is located in the city's downtown, near the famous Rogers Centre. Ace Hotel is a line of stylish, unique, and extravagant boutique hospitality establishments that have enjoyed substantial popularity due to their modern aesthetic.
The Ace Hotel Toronto was designed by award-winning local architecture firm Shim-Sutcliffe Architects, in collaboration with Atelier Ace, which is Ace Hotel's in-house studio. One of the new location's most defining features is a lobby that is suspended from concrete trapezoidal arches. The architects wanted to create "a welcoming civic space." Of course, the attention-captivating interior of Ace Hotel Toronto was also supplemented with subtle color palettes, modern furniture pieces, wood as an emphasized material, and lush greenery to create balance.
