586 Hotel Toronto: Your Luxurious Escape Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercup. We're diving headfirst into the 586 Hotel Toronto – “Your Luxurious Escape Awaits!” – and frankly, after all that stuff they listed, my expectations are higher than a giraffe's… well, you get the idea. This review is gonna be less perfectly polished ad copy and more… well, me. Prepare for tangents, truth bombs, and the occasional existential crisis. Let's go!
Accessibility: The Early Bird Gets… In?
Okay, real talk. Accessibility is super important, and a luxurious escape NEEDS to consider it. 586 Hotel seems to mostly have it covered. Listed are facilities for disabled guests, elevators, and the promise of ‘facilities for disabled guests.’ That vague phrasing always makes me nervous, but let’s hope they actually mean it. I'd especially want to know the specific details. Are there accessible rooms? How wide are the doorways? Ramp access? Sigh… more questions than answers. Let's hope the practicalities live up to the promises. Knowing Toronto, they have to be on the ball. (Recommendation: Call before you book and confirm the level of accessibility that they supply. Don’t trust the internet blindly! Always, always confirm!
On-Site Indulgence: Food & Drink! Because, Priorities!
Alright, now we're talking! Food and booze are crucial for a luxurious escape. 586 Hotel throws a ton of options at you: Restaurants, Bars, Coffee Shops, Poolside Bar, Snack Bar. That's a good start. They tout Asian cuisine, International cuisine, and Western cuisine. Okay, so we're culturally diverse in our eating, too. Bonus points! They've thought about the little things: Bottle of water, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, Salad in restaurant, Buffet in restaurant! They are very, very ambitious on this. I'm very curious to know if they can pull this off.
My first thought? If you're like me, you prioritize a great coffee shop in your hotel. Is it a good roast? Does it have a decent latte art game? Because if I'm paying top dollar, I expect my morning caffeine fix to be Instagram-worthy. And a poolside bar. This is non-negotiable. That image of lounging by the pool, sipping a fancy cocktail… that’s luxury. Now, do they have a knowledgeable bartender, or just a dude who can pour a rum and coke? We’ll find out. I'm also curious about the Happy Hour. A luxurious escape is ALWAYS improved by discounted cocktails. Please.
Breakfast? They offer everything: Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service, Asian breakfast, Western breakfast. Seems like they've got the breakfast bases covered. I'm a sucker for a good buffet, but I hate cold eggs! The room service 24-hour is a game-changer. Late-night cravings? Covered. And knowing me, that could be every night.
Cleanliness and Safety: Pandemic Prep… Check! (Hopefully!)
Okay, let’s face it, post-pandemic, you’re looking for clean. REALLY clean. 586 Hotel seems on the right track: "Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment." Seriously, that's a LOT. It seems they've thought of everything.
The important questions: Is this all just marketing fluff? Or do they genuinely care? I'd want to see this in action. Because a hotel can say they're doing all this, but… a thorough cleaning is the difference between relaxing on holiday and being genuinely worried about catching something. That extra mile matters, or all the luxurious amenities are pointless.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa Day, Anyone?
This section is where the luxurious escape really gets its wings. Spa, Sauna, Steamroom, Pool with view, Swimming pool [outdoor], Fitness center, Gym/fitness, Massage, Foot bath, Body scrub, Body wrap. Holy moly. This is the good stuff. Also, note that there's a [Couple’s Room]
I'm already picturing myself: Massaging, especially after a long flight. Sauna, Steamroom, and Pool with a View? Sold. But wait… are the pools and spas overcrowded? Is the fitness center just a dusty room with a broken treadmill? Again, the devil is in the details. And how good is the masseuse?! I need the real experience.
The perfect scenario: Waking up, a slow breakfast, a morning spent languishing in the spa and then having a long, languid lunch. I’m already relaxed just thinking about it.
Rooms and Amenities: The Nitty Gritty
Okay, the details that really matter. Air conditioning, Blackout curtains, Coffee/tea maker, Free Wi-Fi… and the list goes on. They promise a ton of stuff.
The vital checklist: The Wi-Fi [free] better actually be good (I’ll need to work a little, and I cannot be dealing with slow internet when I need to share my experience online to the world. Otherwise, what’s the point?), Air conditioning is non-negotiable in Toronto summers, and definitely the blackout curtains. A good night’s sleep? Essential.
Little Details That Matter: Bathrobes, Slippers, a Mini Bar, and a Refrigerator. You know… the things that make a hotel room feel like a proper escape. Also, they offer complimentary tea.
Personal Anecdote: I once stayed in a "luxury" hotel where the AC was barely functional, and the Wi-Fi dropped out every ten minutes. It completely ruined the experience. The little things… they really matter.
Services and Conveniences: The Extras
This is where a hotel can truly shine. Or fall flat on its face. 586 Hotel lists a lot of options: Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Dry cleaning, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Car park [on-site], and a Gift/souvenir shop. That's a good base.
The real test: A good concierge can make or break a trip. Need restaurant recommendations? Bookings? Help with a tricky situation? A knowledgeable concierge is worth their weight in gold. Luggage storage? Essential if you arrive early or depart late. Dry cleaning and laundry? A godsend.
Also, the [On-site Event Hosting, Projector/LED display, Meeting/banquet facilities, and even a Shrine]. That’s… interesting? For what kind of Shrine? Does this mean there are weddings happening? Seminars? (Please no seminars)
For the Kids:
Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal. This suggests they welcome kids. If you are travelling with children, this is great news because the hotel thought about their needs and comforts.
Getting Around:
Airport transfer, Taxi service, Valet parking, Car park [free of charge in some spots, and car park [on-site], This is all very good. A hassle-free method of travel is very important if you are already stressed from travelling.
The Offer! (Because, Duh!)
Alright, let's get real. Based on this, the 586 Hotel Toronto has the potential to be an incredible luxurious escape. The amenities are impressive, the focus on safety is reassuring, and the food and beverage options sound delicious.
Here's the real value: For anyone looking to truly relax and treat themselves, this hotel seems to be checking a lot of boxes. But… it’s a gamble, you understand. The devil is in the detail. It's a gamble with a great potential rewards.

Suripah Kostel Syariah Purwokerto: Your Perfect Halal Stay in Indonesia
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your sanitized, perfectly-planned trip. This is me, in the heart of Toronto, at the 586 Hotel (hopefully it's as charming as the photos), and I'm about to chronicle my glorious mess of a vacation. Let's see if I survive.
Day 1: Arrival and the "Oh God, I Forgot My Toothbrush" Blues
- 1:00 PM (Give or Take): Landed at Pearson. Smooth enough. My suitcase practically levitates off the baggage carousel, always the first one. Seriously, is it magic? Or just sheer luck, which I usually lack?
- 1:45 PM: Taxi to 586 Hotel. Ugh, the traffic. Toronto, you're a beauty, but this gridlock is testing me. The driver, bless his heart, was probably having a worse day than I was. He was muttering about a hockey game and something about "leafs" or something. I just wanted to get there.
- 2:30 PM: Check-in. The lobby is surprisingly…small. But the woman at the desk was super nice, even though she probably saw the sheer relief wash over my face when she gave me the key. Room check: clean, decent view, and…oh crap. No toothbrush. Classic. Already! This trip is off to a brilliant start.
- 3:00 PM: Scramble to find a drugstore. Wandering the streets, a glorious mix of architecture and people-watching. Found a Shoppers – thank God. Grabbed the essentials (toothbrush, toothpaste, and…okay, a few travel-sized snacks I clearly didn't need but wanted).
- 4:00 PM: Settled in, finally. The room does have a certain "cozy minimalist" vibe. I'm not sure I'm vibing with it yet but I'll give it a try. Decided to take a breather and do some research. Watched a video and made it to the CN Tower.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. Found a little Italian place nearby called Terroni Sud Forno. Pasta, wine - done and done. Felt a bit overwhelmed by the menu to be honest and just pointed at the first thing that sounded good. It was.
- 8:00 PM: Stumbled back to the hotel. Tired but happy. The people around me were nice. Tomorrow, more of Toronto.
Day 2: Culture Shock (and Pastry Overload)
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast at the hotel. They have a waffle station! I may or may not have eaten three. No regrets.
- 10:00 AM: CN Tower. Okay, I am not afraid of heights, but that glass floor…I swear, I almost lost my breakfast. The view, though? Incredible. Makes you feel like you're on top of the world.
- 11:00 AM: Stroll through the Distillery District. Cobblestone streets! Cute shops! The air smells of…chocolate? Oh, the chocolate. My resolve crumbled. I bought a box of artisan truffles. They're probably gone by the time I get home.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at a random cafe: Cluny Bistro. They gave me a tiny baguette. I almost cried from the beauty of this baguette.
- 2:30 PM: St. Lawrence Market. This place is a feast for the senses. The smells, the crowds, the sheer variety of…everything! Had a peameal bacon sandwich. Seriously, it's a Toronto must-do, and it lived up to the hype. Food coma in 3…2…1…
- 4:00 PM: Okay, I’m officially lost (again). Got turned around in Kensington Market. But hey, it’s vibrant, it’s quirky, it’s…where I bought a ridiculously oversized hat. I have no idea why.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at King Taps. The bar was very loud and crowded. But the food was good and the atmosphere was vibrant.
- 8:00 PM: Back to the hotel. Trying to fit in a little relaxation period.
Day 3: Battling the Tourist Traps and Embracing the Chaos
- 9:00 AM: Hotel breakfast. Again, waffles. I'm starting to understand the appeal of this place.
- 10:00 AM: Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). Okay, museums, while educational, can be a slog. But the dinosaur exhibit was actually pretty awesome, and I learned a lot. I really did. I swear!
- 12:00 PM: Stroll down Yorkville and Bloor. The houses are so pretty and I wish I could afford a house like that.
- 1:30 PM: Lunch. I ended up sitting at a restaurant near the hotel. The meal was fine.
- 3:00 PM: More exploration, I stumbled upon a park. This park was so chill and I was happy for it.
- 5:00 PM: Found one of the best burgers. I ate the whole thing.
- 7:00 PM: Heading to the hotel. The trip is almost over. Time to reflect on the trip.
Day 4: Farewell, Toronto (and the Toothbrush that Never Was)
- 9:00 AM: Wake up, pack. I'm going home! Yay!
- 10:00 AM: Check out. Goodbye 586!
- 11:00 AM: Heading to the airport.
This is just a taste of the chaos, folks. The real story will be when I'm home and I can write a book.
Rome's Hidden Gem: Stunning Vittoria House in the Heart of Centro Storico!
So, 586 Hotel. Fancy, huh? But seriously... what's the deal?
Alright, alright, let's be honest, "fancy" is putting it mildly. The 586 Hotel in Toronto? Think less Motel 6, more... well, a ridiculously stylish loft designed by someone who clearly has a degree in "Making Things Look Awesome" (I'm pretty sure that's a real degree, somewhere). It's all slick surfaces, art that probably cost more than my car (which, granted, isn't saying much), and a vibe that whispers, "You should probably know which fork to use." (And I, often, did not.)
But here’s the secret – despite the obvious luxury, the staff actually, *actually* seems genuinely nice. Not that forced, plastic-smile kind of nice. More like, "Hey, we're glad you're here, how can we help you survive this overwhelming opulence?" I found myself constantly second-guessing if I had enough money to pay for it, but the nice staff were very helpful.
Speaking of money, let's get real. How much are we talking to *actually* stay there? My bank account weeps just hearing the name...
Okay, okay, deep breaths. It IS expensive. Let's just rip the band-aid off: You're not looking at a cheap weekend getaway. Rates fluctuate, obvs, but consider it a "treat yourself" kind of splurge. I'm pretty sure I'm still paying off the room service bill - that truffle mac and cheese was *divine*. It made me forget all my money worries for a single blissful bite. Until the bill arrived. My wallet might still be screaming, but my stomach? Happy for life.
What's a typical room *actually* like? Like, is it just a bed in a box, or is there some... *oomph*?
Oh, honey, the *oomph* is off the charts. Forget the "bed in a box" nonsense. Think massive, airy spaces. Think floor-to-ceiling windows. Think... well, my room had a freestanding tub *in the bedroom*. I mean, seriously. A bathtub. In. The bedroom. I spent so much time trying to decide if using the tub was "cool" or "weird" (because, you know, I'm apparently sophisticated now), that I almost forgot why I was there. The bed itself was like sleeping on a cloud made of angel feathers. And the linens? Crisp. White. Probably spun from the tears of unicorns. (Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating slightly...). They even had a Nespresso machine! Which, I'm pretty sure I didn't use correctly but whatever.
I'm a foodie. What about the food situation? Is it all tiny portions and microgreens?
Don't worry, fellow food enthusiasts. They've got you covered! The restaurant downstairs, [Insert Name Here...because I'm bad with memory], is incredible. Not just "good for a hotel restaurant" incredible. Like, "I would gladly sell a kidney to keep eating here" incredible. I had this seared scallops appetizer that... oh, god, I'm drooling just thinking about it. (Seriously, send help, I need more scallops.) Yes, there are microgreens, but they're actually *flavorful* microgreens. Not just sad, decorative sprigs. The breakfast? Don't even get me started. The eggs benedict changed my life. Okay, maybe that’s a slight embellishment, but it was really, really good. They also make a killer old fashioned. Seriously, someone stop me before I book another trip. I need a support group.
Okay, fine, you've (mostly) convinced me. But what if something goes wrong? Are they going to be total jerks about it?
Okay, THIS is crucial. Because even the fanciest hotels can fall apart if the service sucks. And honestly? The service at 586 Hotel was *fantastic*. One time, I had a complete brain fart and accidentally locked myself out of my room. (Don't judge, I'm easily distracted by shiny things.) I’m sure this is a problem they face every day, but I was such a mess. The staff? They were incredibly understanding, fixed the problem in about two minutes, and even gave me a complimentary glass of champagne while I waited. (See? They understand the "luxury panic" that can ensue.) Another time, I had a minor issue with the Wi-Fi (because technology hates me), and they were on it immediately. No eye-rolling, no attitude, just helpfulness. It was refreshing, honestly. It really makes you feel like you're actually cared about.
Let's talk about the pool. Is the pool as cool as the fancy parts of the hotel?
Ugh, fine, let's talk about the pool. Okay, the pool. The pool is... *fine*. I mean, it's a pool. It's indoors. It's probably heated. It doesn't have that ridiculously over-the-top vibe like the rest of the hotel, but it's very functional. I spent more time in the hot tub, to be honest. The hot tub was GREAT. Bubbles, nice temperature, let's just say I had a very long soak. The pool... well, it's a pool. Maybe if you're into competitive swimming, you'll love it. Me? Gimme those bubbles, thanks. I saw some people doing laps. Weirdos. Just kidding. Kind of.
What's the deal with parking? Is it a nightmare? Because Toronto parking is brutal.
Oh, sweet baby Jesus, yes, Toronto parking is a special kind of hell. But, surprisingly, 586 Hotel has a good parking solution. They have valet service! Yes, valet. It's a bit pricey, naturally. But, honestly, after battling Toronto traffic, the thought of not circling the block for an hour looking for a spot was pure bliss. I didn't even need to think about it. They just whisked my car away, and I was free to focus on important things, like, you know, which appetizer to choose. It was worth every penny.
However, and this is a big however, on the off chance you don't want to do the valet, be prepared to walk. It's Toronto. Be prepared for walking. And maybe a small amount of crying. But overall, I'd choose valet. Seriously. Save yourself the headache.
