Yorkville’s best bolthole

Amidst the hustle and bustle of ‘the city that never stops building” the reno’d Spa at the Four Seasons Yorkville is one of our favourites for a restful mid-week escape. Chill by the pool or in the outdoor lounge, or hide away for a treatment or two.  

Our latest crush: Rosedale Reflexology. Inspired by the steep ravine walks in one of Toronto’s most historic neighborhoods, this treatment relaxes, hydrates and realigns. Or, if you’re so inclined, create your own package of no need to feel guilty pleasures, a combo of three or more spa treatments facials, massages and body treatments complete with a lovely glass of bubbly.
