The Waldorf Astoria Lofts at 80 & 88 Charles St E are no longer hotels, but these condos on the Toronto lofts market continue to be reminiscent of the infamous hotel for which they were named. These buildings were converted to residential units in the mid 1990’s, and offer a gateway to Toronto’s ritzy Yorkville neighbourhood, which seems appropriate, given their affiliation with the luxurious New York hotel. Yorkville’s streets are lined with designer boutiques and expensive restaurants; international fashion finds include Prada, Gucci, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co. to name a few, making this street one of the most opulent and exclusive shopping locations in North America. Needless to say, this neighbourhood is Toronto’s premier spot for celebrity sightings, especially during the annual Toronto International FIlm Festival. If you’re looking for a dining destination to impress the most discerning date, Yorkville’s ritzy restaurants will cater to your every whim for high end and top-priced plates.
Also near the Waldorf Astoria Lofts, the Church and Wellesley district offers a thriving sense of community, as well as a growing variety of restaurants, cafes and clothing stores. Well-maintained, safe, and progressive, this neighbourhood encourages resident and tourist pedestrian traffic, making it the ideal location for an afternoon of taking in the sites and sounds of this unique area of the city. This Waldorf Astoria doesn’t just welcome you for a short stay, but welcomes you to linger and make this piece of Toronto history your home!
