Hilton Toronto
The Hilton Toronto is a 600-room hotel in Toronto, Ontario operated by Hilton Hotels that has been in operation since 1975. The hotel was built by Western International Hotels (now Westin), which purchased the property in 1970 and began the design process that year. Originally, the site was to have included the hotel and an adjacent office tower. In 1972, Western partnered on the project with Oxford Leaseholds and the design was modified to include a second office tower. Construction began in 1973 and the hotel opened in the summer of 1975. The hotel operated as the Hotel Toronto until 1987, when, as part of a complicated series of corporate acquisitions involving Westin, Hilton, UAL Corporation, and Ladbrokes, the hotel came under Hilton management while remaining under Westin ownership. At an unknown date, Hilton acquired ownership from Westin. The hotel was designed by Vancouver architect Reno C. Negrin, who worked alongside local firm Searle Wilbee Rowland. The Hilton is one of several brutalist luxury hotels built in Toronto in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Others in this group include the Four Seasons Sheraton, Sutton Place, Harbour Castle Hotel, and Hyatt Regency.
