From the outside looking up, this blends in with the city as it looks like "just another skyscraper."
But then you notice that the other skyscrapers don't have gorgeous fountains in their round courtyard, fancy SUV's with tinted windows waiting in their circular driveway and doormen waiting to greet you as you enter.
The lobby.

Cost: Rooms vary, of course, depending on time of year, size of room, etc. But on average, you can expect to pay ~$1000 CAD (currently $1CAD = 0.75USD, so this would be $750USD)/night. The book mentions it's main restaurant Truffles as a "must dine" but that restaurant is no longer there. You now have three options: DIBAR, Diazur and Cafe Boulud. Entrees average ~$50CAD and desserts average ~$15CAD.
Verdict: The Four Seasons currently has 124 resort properties throughout the world. And I understand why this one is in the book in the sense that Four Seasons is based out of Toronto, so this is considered their "flagship." I think everyone should spend at least one night in a luxury hotel and I've been lucky enough to stay in a few: Inn at Perry Cabin in St. Michaels, Ritz Carlton in both Chicago and Cleveland, Park Hyatt in Paris and a few more. But I don't think it has to be this one. If you have the money to stay here while in Toronto, go for it. You'll be pampered, waited on, eat well and sleep well. But it's not a must do before you die.
