I have something for bar hotels. You meet a lot of interesting people. It might not be your thing but if you like it then I recommend this bar, is a bit pricey but the cocktails are excellent, I always have Camparis and Manhattans. Next to the hotel there's a Japanese restaurant that has amazing reviews and delicious corn flakes ice cream. You MUST stop by at least to get ice cream to go. I'd also recommend the bars from The Ritz-Carlton, The Four Seasons, The Hilton in Yorkville and the Cosmopolitan. All of them in downtown.

Toronto's high-rise buildings. Is busy during the week but desert on weekends. I recommend to go for a stroll at nighttime when is quiet. In winter, visit the underground passages (The Path), they connect most buildings and some subway stations, there are restaurants, shops and businesses. Is like an underground city. Like a Bat-cave.
