Thompson Hotel Toronto

No Reason to leave

Building a hotel during the current economic climate is bound to create anxiety for both owners and operators. But to hear Thompson Hotels Co-Owner Stephen Brandman talk about the new 102-room Thompson Toronto, fears over issues such as capital funding were never realized, crediting the resolve of developers Peter Freed and Tony Cohen, as well as a relatively strong Canadian economy. "As far as new-build projects go, this one went very smoothly, ad that is why we are so excited about our new Thompson Residences [opening in 2013, across the street from the hotel with commitments for 160 of the 300 uits], which will feature North America's longest rooftop pool".

Something for everyone


 









Is it a restaurant? A bar? An entertainment venue? The hottest hotel food and beverages trends multi-task to reach across a range of profitable target markets.

Food and beverages isn't just the name of a department. It's the hottest single concept in the hotel restaurants business. Hoteliers are taking a whole new holistic approach to integrating their culinary fare fare and drinks menus in a way that attracts foodies, the cooktail set and even those seeking social/music experiences all in a single space. It is about pairings, sharing and easy to swallow pricing that makes it hard for any part of the dining-out market to say "no". 

Through each F&B department puts its own spin on the multi-tasking idea, the emphasis is on reaching a younger (or young at heart), hipper client.

That means interesting but not expensive menus and wines to match. The point is to become the restaurant that locals feel comfortable going to on a regular basis, whether for dinner on any given Thursday or just their favourite micro brew.
