High atop the SoHo Metropolitan (SoHo Met), the 89-room ultra-luxury hotel in the heart of downtown Toronto, an opulent suite opened its doors to discerning travelers this week amid much hype and anticipation. Quite possibly the most exquisite hotel suite in the city, the 4,000 square-foot SoHo Penthouse is sure to be a hit with celebrities, dignitaries and high rollers alike.

Whether it's the in-suite glass elevator, the roof top terrace with a 270-degree view of Toronto, or the allure of complete privacy and security that the luxury traveler finds attractive, the SoHo Penthouse guarantees a stay like no other. Designed by Paul Waddell of Toronto's Urban Innovations Inc., the suite has numerous indulgences fit for a king. The master bathroom, for example, comes equipped with a Kohler infinity soaker tub that fills from the ceiling in a precise steady stream of water and overflows into a trough. Also outfitted with two bedrooms, four additional bathrooms, three plasma flat screen TV's, two state-of-the-art kitchens, two fireplaces, a library, private dining room and living room, a 1,400 square foot roof top terrace with an eight-person hot tub and a built in BBQ, as well as a plethora of high tech gadgets, this three-floor suite of pure extravagance easily rivals luxury hotel rooms around the world.

A perfect setting for exclusive functions and as a home-away-from-home, the SoHo Penthouse is available for $5,000 CDN per night.

"Toronto is a vibrant, world-class city that has always been attractive to discriminating travelers, whether business, leisure or of the celebrity set, in search of extraordinary experiences," says Nancy Munzar Kelly, general manager, SoHo Metropolitan Hotel. "The SoHo Penthouse, which is situated in an already luxurious hotel, easily delivers on the promise of a unique, comfortable and sumptuous stay, which we believe will set the bar for over-the-top luxury accommodation in the city."

The SoHo Metropolitan is situated in a lavish condominium complex, along with upscale retail stores, a soon-to-be-opened relaxing spa and the award-winning Senses Bakery & Restaurant. Even if one does not opt for the penthouse, luxury is still the standard for all guests at the SoHo Met. All of the 89 guestrooms are spacious and feature decadent amenities, including Italian-made Frette linens, European down duvets, separate walk-in closets, solid marble bathrooms with heated floors and Molton Brown bath products.
