The Hazelton Hotel today announced a new chapter in the hotel's story, with a forthcoming renovation project that will include a transformed guest experience and a renewed approach to food and beverage at Chef Mark McEwan's signature ONE Restaurant. The hotel and restaurant will remain open during the renovation, which is set to be completed by early summer 2020, in time for peak travel season.

Since it opened its doors in 2008, The Hazelton has become emblematic of world-class luxury within the city.

LOBBY
The reimagined lobby will create a warm and luxurious atmosphere, with a timeless palette of soft creams and pewters offering a seamless transition in mood from day to night. Custom-designed oversized furniture pieces, accented by the original deep-green stone slab flooring and leather paneling, will welcome guests into a social space that will offer a destination in and of itself within the hotel.

FOOD & BEVERAGE
The restaurant and bar renovations feature a sleek design that will enhance the immersive dining concept, inviting guests through a bustling bar into the plush dining room. New menus by Chefs Mark McEwan and Darby Piquette will feature diverse yet approachable fare, always driven by the freshest ingredients. "ONE restaurant has become known as a Yorkville hotspot and I am excited for the opportunity to work with Yabu Pushelberg again to create a stylish setting that complements ONE's contemporary menus," says Chef Mark McEwan, Chef and Founder, The McEwan Group.

GUEST ROOMS & SUITES
The 77 redesigned guest rooms and three spectacular signature suites will feature layered textures, modern technologies and a chic contemporary palette - hues of soft greys with pops of teal, along with bronze paneling and opulent rose-tinted mirrors - appealing to the most discerning travellers.

SPA BY VALMONT
An oasis for the body and mind, the Spa by Valmont at The Hazelton provides holistic wellness in a serene setting. The renovation will include a refined spa space and gym, as well as a new couples' massage room, featuring calming tones offering an idyllic escape from city life.

LEADERSHIP
Roustom, who has led The Hazelton as General Manager for the last three years and who assumed the role of Managing Director this past October, has established the hotel as a leader in the community as well as the luxury travel industry: the hotel has secured a record-breaking number one position on Trip Advisor in Toronto (for 41 consecutive months) along with a double-digit increase in occupancy and profitability under Roustom's leadership. Roustom adds: "The Hazelton is a landmark in our city, and over the past decade, thanks to the efforts of our remarkable team, it has become one of the world's iconic hotels; I am honored to have been a part of this journey and look forward to an exciting future as we reveal our transformation to all our guests next year."

More details will be released regarding the renovation in early 2020.
