RIU opens its first hotel in Canada: the Riu Plaza Toronto

RIU Hotels & Resorts reaches a new milestone in its international expansion by opening its first hotel in Canada: the Riu Plaza Toronto. This newly built four-star hotel has 352 rooms. It’s located in the heart of Toronto’s skyline in the vibrant Entertainment District, one of the city’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.

The project comprises two twin skyscrapers, each with 49 floors. RIU’s new hotel covers 23 floors in one skyscraper, with the rest of the building to be used for housing. The facade of the building is made up of two different styles and materials: a brick base matching the neighbouring 18th century housing, protected due to its historic significance, and an upper glass structure, adding a modern and contemporary element.

The RIU Plaza Toronto is the twelfth hotel in RIU’s urban line, joining those in Panama, Guadalajara (Mexico), Madrid, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Berlin, London and Dublin. RIU is still expanding in the world’s largest cities and is currently building its third hotel in New York.
