The history

The unit is on the 33rd floor of a 52-storey high-rise, the first 20 floors of which are occupied by the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The owner bought this suite in 2010. He’s looking for tenants who will commit to at least six months, which is the minimum lease term allowed in the building.

Major perk

Both the bedroom and living room have walls of floor-to-ceiling windows, with uninterrupted views of Lake Ontario, the CN Tower and Rogers Centre. Plus, tenants have access to the hotel’s many amenities: 24-hour valet parking and concierge service, a movie theatre, a pool, a sauna, a spa—and, yes, even room service.

Possible deal breaker

This unit has no balcony, but it makes up for the lack of fresh air with a spacious floor plan.
