Loved the Dorchester. They really promoted the history of Collingwood. A lot of love went into creating the rooms and so much attention to detail. The staff was so friendly and helpful, check-in seamless, love the no-key check-in. The Tremont for drinks (chef's kiss). Excellent cocktails! Great value for the cost!
