“This downtown landmark, with its castle-like appearance and river views, clearly aims for a luxury experience; the Harvest Room and Confederation Lounge stand out, even if the price point reflects that ambition. I noted the health club plus the buzz around the Sunday brunch; it could be a great base for exploring Churchill Square. It's a place to consider if location and style matter.”
