In the hub of Yorkville, on a quiet street, the Windsor Arms is an ode to neo-Gothic architecture. Spacious suites, elegant dining rooms and superb spa facilities form an island of tranquillity with decidedly decadent overtones only moments away from Toronto’s cultural heart. Opulence abounds here with an extravagant use of space and with so many nooks and crannies, you can always find peace and quiet. The Courtyard Café, Tea Room and new steakhouse Prime are not tobe missed.
