Review: Delta Toronto | Prince of Travel

On a trip to Ontario in 2021, I stayed one night at the Delta Toronto. It was a brief visit, sharing meals with friends and working from the hotel during the day, before a quick departure for a pit stop in the suburbs and onwards to my primary destination of Ottawa.

Having thoroughly enjoyed the property, my first Delta and my first experience as a Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite member, I returned for five nights for The Travel Summit 2022.

When I stayed longer in 2022, I booked at a discounted cash rate as a business expense.

Delta Toronto – Location

The hotel is located three blocks from the Toronto waterfront.

South of the train tracks, it’s a bit removed from the rest of the city, but it’s perfect walking distance to many popular tourist attractions, including Scotiabank Arena for the Leafs and Raptors, the Rogers Centre for the Blue Jays, the CN Tower, Ripley’s Aquarium, Steam Whistle Brewery, and the ferries to the Toronto Islands.

It’s also in a prime location for business travellers, across the street from the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

The building is connected to Union Station by the sheltered PATH walkways. You can seamlessly get in and out of the property using Toronto’s…
