The Anndore House
More than a building. The Anndore House is a whole new way to experience Toronto. It’s eating, sleeping, working and playing in a one of a kind destination with a distinctively creative soul. Relaunched in 2018 as a 113-room hotel, and boasting what’s now a great location—close to upscale Yorkville, the Bloor Street museums, the Yonge Street shops, arts venues, and more—Anndore House has a dimly lit lobby with moody greens and purples, dark woods, and glam gold-framed art. Past the kitchen island–style reception desk—a nod to the residential vibe that’s embedded into Anndore’s name—lies a sexy bar bedecked in velvet and wood paneling.
The serene, chic décor toes the line between industrial and retro: polished concrete floors, a palette of grays and blues, king-sized beds, cushy leather club chairs, large plasma TVs, and a bookshelf topped with LPs and an iPhone-compatible record player. Some rooms have skyline views; others look out onto a courtyard. Spacious bathrooms have rainfall showers and CO Bigelow products.
