Hilton Toronto and Frenchy

Hilton Toronto’s transformed lobby, designed with Barney River and Scale Hospitality, is a vibrant hub for gatherings and city exploration. Structural upgrades lightened concrete walls and ceilings, while removing a bulky staircase opened sightlines and improved flow. At its heart, Frenchy Bar et Brasserie reimagines the classic lobby bar with a Parisian-inspired oval bar, deep banquettes, and a lively ambiance from morning coffee to evening cocktails. An inviting private dining room, impressive wine room, and well-appointed breakfast buffet space are carefully planned to continue the design language while remaining tucked away from the primary service traffic flow. A bold figural mural that recalls the work of Henri Rousseau is a focal point that draws visitors into the dining room. Enhanced check-in desks and a boutique for snacks complete the experience, creating a sophisticated, welcoming ground floor for guests and locals alike.
