The new Trump International Hotel and Tower opened quietly at the end of January (though the official launch won’t take place until mid-March). The building stands tall at 65 storeys, and levels 11 to 30 are reserved for the hotel’s 261 guest rooms, including a 4,000-square-foot presidential suite (which is still under construction). The tower is also home to Stock, a glitzy new restaurant on the 31st floor from Inna and Levitan of Talon International, the developers behind the Trump, and Suits Lobby Lounge, a bar catering to Bay Street business types. We recently stopped by to take in the spectacle.

One last chance to remind you who owns this place

Inlaid white marble walls with contrasting drapery and floors create a strong and luxurious look

Don’t get mixed up. Private residence elevators to the left, hotel and restaurant elevators to the right

Between the name and the stock market ticker on top of the bar, we guess Bay Street types are the target audience

Inside Suits Lobby Lounge on the main floor

There are worse places to wait for an elevator

Two floors contain meeting and event spaces, including this public cocktail area

Out in the hall, a civilized waiting area (although, do people really hang out in hotel hallways?)

The standard guest rooms are pretty nice, too

The suite’s living room has a fireplace for chilly Toronto evenings

A bathroom inside one of the suites is bright white (put on that robe and you’ll blend right in)

They’ll even serve you soap on a silver platter

Rooms feature touch-screen lighting options to help you set the mood

Trump-branded chocolates, in case you forget where you’re staying

Float into the spa lobby to relax post-treatment

Pedicure area (slash spaceship flight deck)

The spa offers the usual list of manicures, pedicures, massage therapies, body treatments and hair services, as well as treatments using their quartz-based products

Quartz’s reception counter is made of solid Jerusalem quartz, of course

The Quartz Crystal Spa is on the 31st floor, high above the hoi polloi

The 500,000-piece mosaic at the outside entrance, a nod to multicultural Toronto

The front desk features almost 600 kilograms of bling with this Swarovski crystal “cherry blossom”
