The Residences at Windsor Arms rise 14 stories above the neo-gothic Windsor Arms Hotel, which was designated a historic property by the City of Toronto in 1983, and later protected under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1992. Originally built in 1927, the Windsor Arms hotel enjoyed a refresh when developer
George Friedmann, purchased the property in 1995, rebuilding the hotel in 1999 while maintaining its original facade. Opulent rooms in this boutique hotel are often booked by celebrities.
Although connected to the hotel, the 24-unit condo tower with a classic red brick exterior enjoys its own private entrance, concierge, and high speed elevators. There's never a worry for noisy neighbours because there are only two suites per floor. Perks for residents include the indulgent High Tea at the Windsor Arms, not to mention spa services and a top-tier restaurant right downstairs.
Located on St. Thomas Street just south of Bloor Street, 22 St. Thomas is just a stone's throw away from trendy Yorkville and Bloor Street's "Mink Mile," where designer luxury brands like Gucci, Tiffany’s & Co., Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Coach, and Hermes reside. Many celebrities flock to the Windsor Arms because of its charm and equally charming location, surrounded by fine dining options and landmarks like the Royal Ontario Museum and Queen's Park.
Residents of this exclusive address can also easily leave the car at home and walk or take transit to many of the city's destination neighbourhoods. The Financial District, University Health Network, the University of Toronto, and the MaRS Discovery District are all nearby. Varsity Cinema and the CAA Theatre are both excellent options for nightly entertainment, as are all the bars and restaurants along Yonge Street.
