The lobby of the new Delta Hotel in Toronto’s SouthCore Financial area has a welcoming and modern feel with sleek Canadian white oak architectural details and beautiful art. The 46-storey, four-star hotel is located on Lower Simcoe St. and Bremner Blvd.
The works of Canadian artists such as: Anda Kubis, Aleksandra Rdest, Jennifer McGregor, Rob Southcott, Adrian Forrow, Glenn Michael, Hyun Chul Kim, plus many others are featured throughout the hotel. Canada’s love of hockey is well represented with works made from pucks and sticks.
The hotel is a welcome addition to a landscape dotted with entertainment mega-venues, like the Air Canada Centre, Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada, the Rogers Centre, and the shining beacon of Toronto, the CN Tower. The hotel is connected with the downtown Toronto PATH System via a skywalk with clear views of Simcoe Street and scenes of SouthCore Financial area. Guests never need to go outside in winter if they are able to navigate the 29-km PATH network.
Delta opened its doors in late November and, as one can expect, has been busy leading up to the holidays.
