Toronto’s Thompson hotel to be turned into Canada’s first-ever 1 Hotel in partnership with Mohari Hospitality.

Located at 550 Wellington West, the downtown property will undergo an “extensive transformation” into a relaxing luxury sustainable hotel. 1 Hotels purposefully reuse existing structural and reclaimed materials gathered from the local community, including timber, driftwood and local limestone in its designs.

“1 Hotel Toronto will introduce the city to a new standard for an eco-conscious luxury experience, and is the first of its kind in Canada,” said Barry Sternlicht, 1 Hotels Founder and CEO & Chairman of Starwood Capital Group in the press release.

“We look forward to sharing our mission to inspire conscious consumption with guests from across the globe as well as the local community. Our partnership with Mohari is key to the re-development of the project, and we are pleased to be collaborating with them.”

The hotel will remain open and operating as the Thompson until the renovation begins. 1 Hotel Toronto is set to open summer 2020.
