Beyond its accommodations, the hotel is a culinary destination, featuring four distinct food and beverage outlets:
KŌST – A Baja-inspired rooftop restaurant on the 44th floor with panoramic city views.
Akira Back – The first Canadian namesake restaurant of Michelin-starred Chef Akira Back, featuring Japanese-Korean fusion cuisine.
Mister C Bar Room – A quintessential hotel lobby bar offering curated cocktails in an elegant setting.
French Made – A café serving delectable pastries, seasonal salads, and gourmet sandwiches.
The property also features a rooftop infinity pool and state-of-the-art meeting spaces with panoramic views of the city and Lake Ontario.
