Best Spas in York

"For a well-deserved splurge, check into Toronto’s stylish Four Seasons Hotel and take advantage of both its world-famous Café Boulud restaurant and its experience-enhancing packages. Those marking a special occasion may appreciate the “Sweet Celebration” package, which includes a daily dining credit, cake, champagne, early check-in, and late checkout. Meanwhile, the “Urban Wellness Retreat” offers a dose of self-care for guests in the market to recharge, with a healing RMT massage, a memorable meal, and healthy snacks."

"Located in the heart of Toronto, Four Seasons Hotel is yet another one of the famous hotels in Toronto. This high-rise, 5-star luxury hotel located in the fashionable shopping quarters and is stationed only 9-min walking from the Royal Ontario Museum. The spacious rooms in this property are sophisticated and adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows and neutral tones."

"The flagship property of the Toronto-based Four Seasons brand is pure five-star heaven. It maintains a glowing reputation for service and opulence on all fronts, and is a tip-top urban retreat for luxury travellers, special-occasion celebrants and incognito celebrities."

"There's no need to be alarmed because the Elmwood Spa is quite the opposite of a nightmare on Elm Street. Instead of a horror film you can’t wake up from, the spa is rather a luxurious, beautiful dream that you don’t want to wake from — you know, the ones that you usually have after watching a McDonald’s or Dairy Queen commercial."

"Modern urban life can be stressful, and every now and then we need to escape the demands of work, family, or social obligations and unwind. Fortunately, you don’t need to go far to get some much needed nurturing and renewal. Visit Elmwood Spa, a peaceful oasis located in a refined historic building in downtown Toronto."

"Even checking in for your appointment at the Elmwood Spa is a pleasant experience. Hand towels are at the ready while you prepare for further relaxation. The pristine environment sets the tone for the pampering we all need from time to time."

"As what I’d like to think as the ultimate place of rejuvenation, Hammam Spa is a beautiful space where ancient meets modern. Similar to a Turkish bath, they focus on cleansing and detoxifying your body through the usage of their steam room before and after treatment. I visited a few years ago at their King West location and received the most relaxing deep tissue massage by one of their experienced RMTs."

"When I was looking through the Hammam Spa’s official website, I couldn’t even read nor identify half of the oils and treatments that they provide. I don't know about you, but I take that as a good thing, because we all like exclusive offers, and what’s more exclusive than spa treatments that you haven’t even heard of yet?!. @hammamspaembedded via"

"We hope you enjoyed an amazing long weekend - we are open again today!. 🤗 | #HammamSpa #ComeSayHi. Hammam Spa, located in King West, focuses on balancing the physical, sensorial, and emotional responses which contribute to overall health and wellness and uses ancient rituals to do so."

"Located in Yorkville, that good ole Toronto neighbourhood that’s fun for window shopping but not actual shopping, the Novo Spa is a 5,000 square-foot natural treatment centre that transforms spa bliss into personal bliss; and this personal bliss doesn’t go away in a couple minutes like a good snack does (I know I’ve been talking about food a lot, okay?! I’ve been thinking about German schnitzel ever since I returned from Europe last week. You understand). @jfmarquessembedded via. With services ranging from couple and individual massages to advanced natural and organic facials, the spa offers luxuries that will cure you just by the sound of it — but, you know, actually going there and getting the actual treatment would be nice, too."

"This Yorkville Spa is home to a practice they call Steam Bed Body Therapies, a process that begins with exfoliating the entire body before laying the client down on a steam bed for a body wrap and foot/head massages. The entire experience mimics the relaxing properties of a traditional steam room, though amped up for the individual."

"Located in the core of downtown Toronto, Sweetgrass Spa is a women’s only day spa that has been ranked as one of the best spas in the country for four years. They’ve got you covered for manicures, organic treatments, body luxuries, and other services that will make you question the definition and purpose of stress in the first place. @bespoketraveldesignembedded via"

"A post shared by Sweetgrass Boutique & Day Spa (@sweetgrassboutique_dayspa) on Jan 18, 2019 at 11:46am PST. Sweetgrass Spa offers award-winning spa services, having been put on the map as one of the top 50 spas across the nation for the past few years. It is a women’s only day spa located in the heart of downtown Toronto."

"Although stress is not gender specific, fear of being seen in a bathing suit often is. Sweetgrass takes away any potential spa stress by catering to women alone. The hot tub and sauna area is reminiscent of a lagoon and a great place to relax before or after a service."

"The Stillwater spa provides 10,000 square feet and 17 treatment rooms to relax as many people as possible in the Annex area of Toronto. As you wait for your treatment, you will be led to the heated locker room where you will disrobe into the traditional terry cloth. Your white bathrobe will match well in the white lounge area where you can sip on tea and munch biscotti while you wonder why you don't do this more often."

"I’m going to assume that Spa My Blend is code for something that regular spa-goers may be familiar with, but to me, it just seems like a cool catchphrase that I’ll just pretend to understand (smile and wave boys, just smile and wave). Located in the Ritz-Carlton hotel, that super fancy schmancy building near the TIFF Bell Lightbox on King Street, Spa My Blend offers luxurious treatments for any and every guest who arrives. @mynn.vuembedded via"

"Located inside the luxurious Ritz-Carlton, Spa My Blend has it all. They started as the city’s first Champagne Nail Bar, but quickly grew into the expansive wellness centre they are today. You can enjoy 16 private treatment rooms, a variety of water therapies, aromatherapy steam rooms, saunas, and aroma infused vitality pools."

"White walls, green tea-infused vitality pools, aromatherapy steam rooms, spacious saunas, and exclusive skin products from Clarins – this is how girls in France stay beautiful, non?. You can find this spa inside Toronto's Ritz Carlton hotel, but good luck ever trying to leave."

"The Swan, one of Toronto’s most famous diners, occupied the same space on Queen Street West for more than 20 years. Now Le Swan has taken over to serve French bistro food alongside diner classics - think charcuterie followed by a tuna melt and steak frites with a side of grilled cheese. The menu here includes both dishes that you’d find in a Grey Poupon commercial and food that feels sort of like time travel, which makes it a little different than just about anywhere else in the city."

"Everyone’s curious about the new incarnation of Swan on West Queen West which is Jen Agg’s latest project, a so-called French diner that does rotisserie chicken and late night fondue."

"Decommissioned bus terminal turned east-end classic, established 1948. Tim Dutaud, owner: There’s a story behind these booths. Orphan Black filmed here, and I guess they didn’t like the original colour of the booths, so they brought the green ones in."

"Healthy, Grab-n-Go, Gluten-Free, Casual, Smoothies, Breakfast, Lunch + Dinner. Kupfert and Kim was my go-to for quick, healthy breakfasts since they open at 7:30 am. I had their house-made granola, the breakfast congee, tried a couple different smoothies and some of their vegan baking."

"As one of Toronto’s first Asian-style vegan restaurants, Buddha Vegan has been a top spot in the city for awhile. They’re known for their delicious and healthy plant-based eats, covering menu items from soups to fried rice and noodles to everything in between. A meal from here is sure to satisfy your every craving!"

"Come down to Buddha’s Vegetarian Restaurant to savour some Hong Kong style vegan and vegetarian food. This place has been serving up regional specialities like imitation duck since 1991, and they’re every bit as satisfying and delicious as the meat-filled counterparts. 666 Dundas St W | website"

"Buddha’s Vegan Restaurant has been around forever – since 1991!. They used to be Buddha’s Vegetarian, but they’ve always been a predominantly vegan establishment, so the name change reflects this better. It’s one of Toronto’s oldest vegan Asian restaurants and it’s beloved by many."

"While not technically outdoors, the Allan Gardens Conservatory delivers a whiff of nature any time of year: even if it's 10 degrees below freezing. Founded in 1858, the 16,000-square-foot greenhouse inside Allan Gardens park is home to hundreds of plants from around the globe, including tropical orchids, palms, banana trees, and jade vine. There are benches where you can pass an afternoon with a book, or you can opt for a paid tour to learn more about flora you likely won’t find in the wild anywhere in Canada."

"Designated as a national historical site, RBG is revered world-wide for its extensive 400 acres of display gardens. What makes RBG unique is that it also protects and stewards over 2300 acres of environmentally sensitive lands and diverse ecosystems that connect the Niagara escarpment to Lake Ontario."

"A post shared by VIVIEN TRINH (@vivientrinh) on Aug 1, 2018 at 6:24pm PDT. It’s always summer at Allen Gardens!. This gorgeous conservatory is huge and within the city’s east end – from 10 a.m."
