Rooted in celebrating the sophistication of the arts, the iconic Park Hyatt now features a permanent collection of pieces from renowned Canadian and indigenous artists.

A stay in one 40 suites or 179 rooms—tastefully balances residential comfort with sophistication. Even better…book the 14th floor, Presidential Suite which now hosts a chef’s pantry and private dining room, a study and living room grounded by a stone-clad fireplace with champagne metal accents.

There’s nowhere else quite like it in  “The 6.”
