Templar Hotel, Toronto
May 6, 2012 § 9 Comments
Would it be strange to book a hotel room in your own city? ‘Staycations’ aside, I’ve always loved hitting the sights just like any newcomer or tourist… but never gone as far as to book a hotel room! This may have to change…
The Templar Hotel is set to open in a few weeks in Toronto’s Entertainment District and I’m giving a standing ovation to its designer, Rhed, for delivering on details, details and more details.
Some of those details include…
- Poliform lacquered walls… (sigh… beautiful)
- Open bookcases as dividers of space… (not a novel idea but one that should be used more often)
- Wood floors imbedded with cowhide inserts… (hello! that’s novel and they seem to be magnetic for some reason)
- Massive floating reception desk… (stunning)
- Contemporary artwork… (Damian Hirst…look him up)
- Excel, the large floor lamp seen throughout… (I want this in my living room right now)
I love the modern and minimal look :)
I know… it refreshes my mind! If there’s such a thing? lol
of course there is!

lovely minimal look
I’m glad you liked it! :)
Gorgeous looking hotel! I haven’t been to TO in years, but will definitely be looking to stay here when we go there.
