Cushioned between the Financial and Entertainment districts, The Strathcona Hotel may be over 125 years old but you would never know it; recently undergoing a massive face-lift, the rooms and lobby look like a cross between art nouveau style and modernist minimalism. If you love the look and feel of sleek then this is the place for you.

Conveniently close to the Air Canada Centre, the train station, and the   CN Tower, The Strathcona houses two eateries – The York Street Cafe and a pub, both also recently under renovation. The York Street Cafe does a great breakfast buffet to get your day started, served from 6:30am. You can get an array of breads, cereals, fruit and hot breakfast foods like sausages, bacon and eggs. Also, take in the York Street Cafe during lunch time as well.

The ultra-mod establishment boasts flat screen TVs in each room and alarm radios with an IPod console. In a push towards green efforts, The Strathcona Hotel has a pamphlet in the room that lets the customers know some fantastic ways they can partner with the hotel to be environmentally kind for the duration of a stay.  (www.thestrathconahotel.com)
