The Chelsea Hotel is continuing to invest in the ongoing interim use of the facility pending its ultimate redevelopment. Details in the press release from October 5th, which follows below. One point I was not aware of, the total room count amounts to a full ten percent of the available hotel guest rooms in downtown Toronto. Given the continuing investments being made in the building, it appears that the Great Eagle group is not anticipating an imminent near term start to redevelopment of the site.

The Chelsea Hotel, Toronto is pleased to announce that, the hotel has gone through some exciting changes, including a C$25 million dollar refurbishment. The investment – the most extensive since 2013 – included 600 guestrooms in the Executive Tower, hotel corridors throughout the hotel, modernization and refurbishment of the Executive Tower elevators. Additionally, there was a refurbishment of Market Garden Restaurant including new carpet and furniture, while our full-service restaurant, Elm Street Bar & Lounge, has undergone a remarkable enhancement. This included an expansion to double the seating capacity and the addition of new furniture and lighting.
The impressive redesign for the Executive guestrooms include:
The scope of the corridor refurbishment includes replacement of carpet, wall vinyl as well as refreshing trim and doors.
For the late fall, the hotel is engaging in a Wi-Fi upgrade investment of C$2.3 million and will offer our guests a significant improvement for streaming multiple devices.
Hong Kong-based Great Eagle Group, owner of the hotel since 1996, assumed management under its subsidiary, Langham Hospitality Group on July 1, 2013. The owner has invested over $54 million since the re-branding.
With these enhancements, the hotel continues to raise the bar and remains at the forefront in terms of service and value within the competitive hotel market in Toronto. "This renovation is another very exciting phase in the life of the Chelsea. A newly vibrant and fresh environment, the Chelsea delivers everything one could need at exceptional value," says Josef Ebner, regional vice president - Canada and managing director, Chelsea Hotel, Toronto.
