At this time of year, stepping into the Fairmont Royal York feels like coming home for the holidays. Encircled by the sparkling lights of the decorations, the towering tree is instantly enthralling. Every corner of the lobby is dripping with gorgeous holiday cheer that lights up our hearts. Just passing through is a treat, but the iconic hotel's holiday offerings are even better. Embrace the magic and indulge in the timeless, festive elegance that comes from a century of tradition.

Newly reimagined this year, the House of York Holiday Experience has taken over the former Thirsty Elf location with all the festive ambience of a cozy winter cabin getaway, right inside the downtown Toronto hotel. Skip the long drive up north and instead settle into the plush seating in this immersive experience that embodies the magic of the season. 

Sip specialty seasonal cocktails with friends and family, surrounded by enchanting decor that evokes the warm feeling of holiday nostalgia and the Canadian winter spirit. House of York is open for private events and for walk-ins from Wednesday to Saturday evenings until December 21. Must be 19+.

Beloved lobby bar CLOCKWORK Champagne & Cocktails has been expanded to the other side of the lobby and transformed into a festive haven for the season, CLOCKWORK Holiday Edition. Nestled beside the gorgeous grand lobby tree, and surrounded by twinkling-light-covered decor, the holiday edition of Clockwork offers an ambience that exudes holiday charm and sophistication. Enjoy light bites and festive bubbly cocktails in the luxurious atmosphere where every sip feels like a toast to the special moments of the holidays and the finer things in life. CLOCKWORK Holiday Edition is open daily from 4 p.m. to midnight.

Backed by nearly a century of elegant and timeless tradition, the Fairmont Royal York knows how to do the holidays right. Celebrate 95 years of holiday magic with the exceptional offerings at Toronto's landmark hotel.
