Oyster Review Summary
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators.
Pros
- Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and sumptious bedding
- Large bathrooms with heated floors and Tocca toiletries
- Large, sleek, bright fitness center
- Yoga studio offers range of classes
- Renowned dining at Scarpetta, casual fare at Thompson Diner
- Rooftop patio is a major nightlife draw and has stunning views
- Chic pool area with sleek infinity pool
Cons
- Hip crowds tend to be noisy and party late
- Impressive outdoor space unusable during winter
- Private parties can shut down the patio or restaurants
- Somewhat remote, newly gentrified area isn't kid-friendly
Bottom Line
The Thompson Toronto is every bit as hip as its sister properties. Rooms are sleek, with floor-to-ceiling windows with excellent views, mod furniture, flat-screen TVs, and custom-made Sferra sheets -- and the dazzlingly white marble bathrooms sport rainforest showerheads and heated floors. The lively patios and bars, renowned dining at Scarpetta, and unique rooftop infinity pool attract young, trendy crowds. But the property is located in a newly gentrified area that is not particularly kid-friendly, so families and those looking for less of a nightlife scene may want to book elsewhere.

Oyster Hotel Review
Location
In the Art and Design District, blocks away from the lakefront
The Thompson Toronto is located in the heart of the trendy Art and Design District, directly adjacent to the financial and entertainment districts. The Thompson is closer to the lakefront than area attractions, but it serves as a bit of an activity hub itself.
Once a sleepy area, the neighborhood has come alive recently, with dozens of art galleries, restaurants, and boutiques popping up every month. It might not be the most elegant part of town, but it is vibrant and features a lively nightlife scene that attracts a young, hip crowd. Stroll along Queen Street West to get the most out of what the neighborhood has to offer.
