Mohari Hospitality, the global investment company founded by entrepreneurial investor Mark Scheinberg, has today opened 1 Hotel Toronto in partnership with hotel management company, SH Hotels & Resorts. The redesigned hotel, which forms part of downtown Toronto's recent urban regeneration, is the newest opening for the luxury hospitality brand 1 Hotels, and the first of its kind in Canada.

Mohari acquired the asset, located at 550 Wellington Street West, in 2017 and in 2019 announced it was partnering with SH Hotels & Resorts to transform and rebrand the hotel into a luxury and sustainable 1 Hotels retreat. Mohari Hospitality's substantial investment completely renovated and reimagined the property, which had been operating as the Thompson Toronto hotel. The hotel closed in January 2020 to allow renovations to begin and although the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily delayed the reopening of the hotel, Mohari is delighted to now be welcoming guests to 1 Hotel Toronto.

To mark the opening of 1 Hotel Toronto, 2021 native trees will be physically planted in designated sites throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) over the course of the next year, in partnership with the non-profit organization Tree Canada. This project has been funded by Mohari as part of its ongoing philanthropic activity in communities where it has investments, whilst 1 Hotel team members will volunteer to plant the trees in local communities.
