All of Toronto is within easy reach from the Metropolitan Hotel, making it an obvious choice for discerning travelers. Not far from the financial district, the hotel also enjoys close proximity to world-renowned shopping, art galleries, and museums. The hotel has the services of a large property and the intimacy of a private residence. Blond woods, earth tones, and simple furnishings deliver a calming sense to guests. The accommodations are a dream, featuring the latest technology, from faxes, laser printers, modems, and multiline telephones to stereo equipment. Fully-staffed fitness and business centers are also on hand to assist all guests with their goals. The beige and black dining room of Lai Wah Heen (see) is a serene setting for its luscious Cantonese cuisine. Considered an excellent example of authentic dim sum, this restaurant is a local sensation.
