Hotel operator Shangri-La has opened a luxury hotel and spa in Toronto, Canada.
Shangri-La Toronto has 202 rooms with 49 suites and is located within the first 17 floors of a new 66-storey tower on the city's grand ceremonial boulevard.
Facilities at the resort include Miraj Hammam, an independently operated vinotherapy spa in partnership with French wine-based skincare supplier Caudalie.
The spa has nine treatment rooms including two couples suites and two hammam rooms. Treatments on offer include Crushed Cabernet Scrub, Honey and Wine Body Wrap, the Vinoperfect Facial Treatment and several others, some using fresh grapes.
The signature Vichy Shower Merlot Friction Scrub involves a rainfall of soothing water followed by a massage performed using grape-seed and essential oils as well as a warm application of bentonite clay.
There is also a range of massages on offer including Swedish massage, personalised massage and deep tissue massage.
Other facilities at the resort include a 828sq m (9,000sq ft) health club featuring a private enclosed studio, an open concept room and a 20m (64 ft) salt-water lap pool.
The resort has a range of dining options including Bosk, a globally inspired menu with Asian influences and the Lobby Lounge offering guests a south-east Asian inspired all-day menu.
There are nine meeting rooms in the hotels spanning 1,359sq m (14,626sq ft) including a screening room and ballroom.
The hotel joins Shangri-La Hotel, Vancouver, which opened in January of 2009.
