Hotels matter because, as architect Robert Stern observed, they “constitute a permanent, habitable dreamworld, which we can escape into and depart at will—a dreamworld we can share with others.” Toronto’s Ace Hotel, designed by Shim-Sutcliffe Architects, perfectly embodies this idea—a space that architects themselves would love to create and spend time in. Facing St. Andrew’s Park, a green oasis amid downtown’s dense offices and condos, the hotel also serves as what Brigitte Shim calls “a statement of resistance against the thin and glassy.” It is a striking architectural work in its own right, while remaining sensitive to the scale and material history of its surrounding neighborhood. By doing so, it raises the bar for private development both locally and throughout downtown Toronto.
