Combining classic and contemporary architectural elements throughout, the building has three main components: the tower rises out of a five-level podium (detailed below); floors six to twenty contain luxuriously appointed rooms and facilities for hotel guests, and floors 22 to 53 of the tower contain condominium residences with a private lobby and an amenity centre. Most condominium residences contain one, two or three bedroom suites, ranging from 1,400 to over 10,000 square feet.

The five-story podium at the tower’s base features a large glass exterior designed to create a sense of interaction between the street and the lobby. The podium also contains two large ballrooms, fine-dining restaurants, a conference room, and meeting facilities to attract high-end conference and business meeting clients. The grand ballroom will host leading social events and functions. In addition, the top level of the podium houses a world class, 23,000 square foot spa, which is Toronto’s largest and most luxurious spa.
