The Scene
Well-heeled visitors relax by a roaring fire in the upscale, comfortable lobby. Overstuffed leather couches, oil paintings depicting nature scenes and cast bronze sculptures make for a warm welcome. Few needs go unmet in this former Ritz-Carlton hotel.

The Details
The guest rooms each contain spacious marble baths, down comforters and leather chairs; suites and rooms with sitting areas afford extra space for lounging. For the active set, a heated outdoor pool, well-equipped fitness room and skiing (or snowboarding) on nearby Ajax meet most exercise needs. A restaurant and two bars provide ample dining and drinking opportunities. Extensive meeting and event facilities and a full-service salon make it the ideal place for business or pleasure.
