The Spa Intercontinental Toronto Centre

For a long time I had wondered what it feels like to really be pampered. I had already experienced a professional massage, so when I thought "what's next in my pursuit of leisure", getting my first manicure was an easy conclusion. My friend, having much more pampering experience than I, suggested that we go to the Toronto Intercontinental Hotel Spa. Upon entering the main area of the spa, you get a view of the majority of the space, first passing the pool area, behind which you'll be offered light refreshments. There are small tables and chairs for lounging, then off to the side you'll find the manicure section. The main room lets in a refreshing amount of light, and has a large surrounding of windows. The whole thing comes together to make for a very relaxing ambiance that contributes to the whole experience. The package that we purchased includes access to the pool, a manicure, and a pedicure, but sadly I only had time for the manicure. As far as the manicure went, it was a cool experience. I won't begin to pretend to know the terminology for the various tools and products that they used, but I can say that the specialists were fun, welcoming, gentle, and finished by turning my callused man claws into smooth, soft, and presentable hands. The price was definitely higher than your run of the mill mani-pedi spot, but going in, you can see that you're paying a premium for the experience. I can't say that I'd ever go again, but that's only because this is not an activity that I plan on making a habit. All in all, I had swell time!

Lovely massage and facial, the only thing I’d wish for is the spa to be in a more private area than the hotel pool.

Went with hubby for a couples massage, both of us enjoyed our therapist so much that we have rebooked for next month :) We enjoyed our complimentary cheese and fruit platter. Staffs are friendly, robes and slippers were provided. Next time I'll definitely make use of their facility, swimming pool, steam room etc... Thank you for making our day. We are very happy to find this new place that we will come regularly.

My wife and I recently spent our wedding anniversary at the hotel. We both had excellent massage treatments and when we finished we were pleasantly surprised with this thoughtful gift! The communication with staff here is fantastic and booking of treatments are easy via electronic means.

The Spa at the Intercontinental Hotel was an unexpected and lovely surprise. I booked, last minute, for a Manicure and Pedicure, as I was getting married the following day. I was treated like a queen. I upgraded to the paraffin wax treatment for the Pedicure, and it was well worth it. The photographer on the wedding day, actually took a bunch of photos of just my sparkling toes, on the grass, in my wedding dress. Incredible spa! And the lovely treat at the end, was very sweet of the staff, once they heard that I was getting married. I would not hesitate to rebook!

Clean, contemporary, fancy, great views if you got a room in the higher floors. They were very helpful checking us out die to emergency agter our first night. Expensive though but worth it. Parking is a nightmare so get prepared to pay a fortune ( most parkades are over $30 a day with no and out privileges.

The best way to end a hectic week and great way to start the TIFF weekend, Spa Day at my favourite hotel Intercontinental-Toronto Centre. It was amazing!! Excellent service, immaculately clean facilities, pool☑️, sauna☑️, hot tub☑️, steam room☑️, massage☑️☑️, valet parking ☑️, you can purchase day passes to use the facilities, I even saw Idris Alba, well only the poster?.... Go check it out!!!

My partner had booked us for a facial and pedicure for my birthday as we were staying at the hotel and wanted to try the spa. Lovely staff members, atmosphere was ok. We love our facial and left with our skin feeling so fresh and clean. Pedicure was ok, I would suggest if you have any shellac on don’t book or at least have it removed prior. I mentioned this at the front prior to booking and was told it was fine but to find out they don’t have the proper stuff to remove it and took a longer appointment and which made the rest of the appointment feel rushed and not properly done. Love the ladies and have no complaints of the staff but just a suggestion to have more details on there website or for front staff to be more informative about what services they have.
