About Park Hyatt Toronto
- The hotel began life in 1936 as the Art Deco Park Plaza Hotel, designed by Hugh G. Holman on the corner of Bloor Street and Avenue Road.
- A modernist 14-storey north tower by Peter Dickinson was grafted onto the original building in 1956, decades before the two were unified again.
- Oxford Properties bought the property in 2014 and commissioned KPMB Architects and Studio Munge to merge both towers into one hotel, reopening as Park Hyatt Toronto in September 2021.
- The rooftop Writers Room bar was a literary hangout for decades before the renovation, and it kept the name.
- It now holds 219 rooms, including 37 suites and 3 signature suites, plus the 13-treatment-room Stillwater Spa.
History
The Park Hyatt Toronto originated as the Park Plaza Hotel, opening in 1936 with an Art Deco design by architect Hugh G. Holman. A modernist 14-story north tower designed by Peter Dickinson was added in 1956. Acquired by Oxford Properties in 2014, it underwent a major renovation led by KPMB Architects and Studio Munge, unifying the towers and modernizing facilities, before reopening as Park Hyatt Toronto in September 2021.
Park Hyatt Toronto anchors the northwest corner of Bloor Street West and Avenue Road in Yorkville, occupying a heritage Art Deco tower built between 1926 and 1929 as the Queen's Park Plaza Hotel.
