Hilton Toronto/Markham Suites Conference Centre & Spa

I just came to the conference centre ballroom for a wedding reception this past weekend. I love this space! you have to go up the stairs to get to the main foyer, which is a nice huge area for a good size crowd to loiter, chat, go to the bar, and also allows for servers to weave through ppl easily when serving food. I love the huge open space and the ceiling is also very tall, so overall it looks very grand. The hor D’oeuvres were amazing. we had beef wellington, mini smoked salmon sandwich, crostini with brie and fresh fig (that was to die for).
The ballroom inside is amazing. I love how the lights decorate the room — makes it look very modern and sleek. The room is HUGE. lots of space and you can certainly fit a ton of tables.
The food, was actually really good. we had mushroom soup (delicious!!!), followed by a house salad, which was usual but the greens were very fresh. Main entrée was chicken with scallopped potatoes and I don’t normally gobble up mains at a wedding reception but I did! that chicken, oh my gosh was SO MOIST. Dessert was a chocolate mousse cake, which was so good and I finished the whole thing too!
The bar was pretty good, i think just depends on what’s available, this one was a limited availabiility but the bartenders overall were quite nice and friendly.
The wedding cake. OH MY GOD. the chefs at Hilton made the wedding cake for the bride and groom (of course it helps when the groom IS a chef at Hilton) but that cake, butterscotch, DELICIOUS. there was so much cake leftover that i took it to work and EVERYONE is raving about it! :)
Overall, I think this space is amazing and really worth ppl to consider if you want a big wedding, but budget is reasonable and like the look of a modern space/​hotel. Good thing because I’m coming back to this place for 2 more weddings this year :) But definitely one of the most enjoyable wedding venues I’ve been to recently where it was good space and good food!

We are here for a youth hockey tournament. And this is one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at. Most hockey hotels treat you and your team like a pack of wild animals. However, the Hilton didn’t do that. The front desk staff were friendly and professional. The kids were well-​behaved, there wasn’t any running and screaming down the hallways, and the service was pretty good. We did have an issue with the refrigerator not being cold enough and then our TVs not working until maintenance fixed them. Plus, there is a great gym with indoor pool and steam room. Overall, the most enjoyable hockey tournament hotel we stayed at.

Met my friends Roy and Peter for a light dinner. This place is nice for Toronto standards. When I try to go to a high end place/​hotel like this in Toronto all it does is make me miss all the fabulous places I have been around the world that really know how to do it well. This is nice for Toronto for sure but it doesn’t come close to what real high end is internationally. The food was just ok, the service was ok and the décor was nice if you like ceramic, they use ceramic instead of stone, and it had a very synthetic feel. It’s not fair to compare to other hotel fine dining around the world or is it? I wouldn’t beat a path to their door but I guess this is as good as it gets.

One of the best gyms in a hotel I’ve ever been too. Has racquet ball courts, free weights, treadmills, spin class, swimming pool, sauna, hot tub, spa and many more. The kitchen suites are in a separate building with a walkway that connects to the main hotel. I stayed at a regular suite with 2 beds no kitchen since we planned to eat out a lot. Beds are full size mattresses not queens but are quite comfortable. Location is pretty much 10 mins from all the Asian markets and restaurants around the area. This place do need some upgrading. Dressers were older (can tell by loose handles and paint). Our bathroom also had dry ceiling paint ripping and bottom of bathroom door is frail as if there was water damage previously. With these necessary upgrades, the room was still decent. I would consider staying here again if the price is a good savings from the Marriott or other hotels in the area. Overall stay was pleasant.

Nice enough rooms. Our misfortune that there were sports teams staying in the hotel. Packs of youth who looked about 12 were unattended by adults and running through the hallways as late as 1 am. Not impressed with the lack of security.
Side note to hotel: public bathrooms near ballroom have frigid water for hand washing. Painful. All in all I wouldn’t return, even though the hotel was nice.

Stayed a week. I think that is all that I can handle from this hotel. As noted by other travelers this hotel is commendable for its housekeeping. However don’t expect a lot for breakfast as they serve the same thing every morning and the servers flip customers like pancakes. Outside of coffee expect to get your own drinks.
I haven’t visited the gym yet but I’m glad they have one and it’s free to guests. The spa, on the other hand, I did visit a couple of times during different stays and one isn’t any better than the other. Pretty facility but that’s pretty much what you pay for. Service is mediocre and definitely does not reflect the cost.
The wifi is available but you have to log on everyday to get service.

A fan of Hilton hotels, I recently stayed here for a business trip. My room was clean, comfortable and had complimentary WiFi (for hhonors members) and nice amenities from the pool, restauraunt and excercise facility. I like the convenience and hospitality that Hilton offers. The concierge was helpful and housekeeping did an excellent job — no complaints there.
I enjoyed my visit and would definitely stay at this hotel again.

nice and clean hotel! love the pool area with giant tv for kids to enjoy. rooms were good size. wish parking was free. construction was annoying. room coffee was not bad. bathroom have double vanity which is a plus, and I also like the fact you can open the bedroom window. we have the king suite, so loved the fact it had 2 tvs. starbucks needs to have extended hours. lobby is really pretty. will visit again!

Wife and kids staying here for 4 nights and they just told me you must pay for wifi which will cost another $ 13 per day. When I checked their website they conveniently left out this important detail. The website tell you self parking costs $ 10 though so why did they leave wifi fee out? I really hate these two bit tacky add on surprise fees. Why don’t they just include in the room rate? I think I learned important lesson not to ever book Hilton ever again.

This place is a tough place to review. It’s a Hilton Hotel and as such the suite that I had was pretty good, a tad bit on the sterile side but still much better than a lot of other places.
My problem with the property is that it’s really in the middle of a car-​centric suburban wasteland. I honestly couldn’t tell whether I was north of Toronto, out on Long Island or outside of Chicago. The lobby isn’t beautiful and modern, as others have stated, it’s bland and uninspiring.
Would I stay here again the next time I’m in the area to visit family? No, I would prefer to stay at some place that has a little bit more character and charm even though the rate I received was pretty amazing.

My boyfriend’s family and I decided to do a family trip to Toronto/​Markham and Niagara Falls for a few days during the July 4^th weekend.
The lobby had a beautiful and modern décor to it with lots of seating, a bar, and computers for you to use as you please. The front desk clerks were very friendly and helpful.
I liked that my boyfriend’s family and our room were all on one floor and either next to or across from each other. The rooms were very tidy and organized when we arrived and very spacious as well. I liked that there was a seating area in the front and in the back is the bedroom and closet. The bathroom was okay, but not that spacious. Overall, it was a comfortable place to stay during our visit in Markham/​Toronto.
I really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Everyone is very friendly and the atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. I also liked that we were very close to many restaurants and shopping areas.
I would love to come back to this hotel again. The staff and housekeeping did a great job with providing us excellent hospitality service. I highly recommend this hotel for people to stay especially if your coming to visit Toronto & Markham!

Love this hotel!
Free WiFi

Will definitely stay here again when I’m around the area.

Was there for a four day conference. Overall there’s nothing special about the hotel or services. Paying for parking is ridiculous. Rooms are decent, and conference areas are great. The sushi restaurant was very good, service was excellent, tho pricy. If I could give zero stars for something it would be for the lounge bar area service. Absolutely horrendous!!! Unbelievably terrible. So slooooow, it’s actually laughable! It boggles the mind that it could possibly be that bad. Worst service of my life. The «free» Wi-​Fi seems to be timed. You want Wi-​Fi, you’re going to have to pay or forget. Again, ridiculous. The gym, however is very adequate. Pool is very small for a hotel, especially of this size. There are many places nearby to eat, and a mall is close. Anything you should need really. Would I come back? Only if I had to, and I certainly wouldn’t go out of my way to stay here.

This review is for the Sunday brunch only.
Overall, the food was not too bad, but was also somewhat limited in quantity and variety and was uninspired.
Some of the highlights are:
— Crabs legs and shrimp cocktail
— Good smoked salmon
— Omelette and roast beef stations
Some of the disappointments:
— Sushi offering
— Cheese offering
— Desserts looked better than they tasted
The room is nice and airy and the service is good.

Bel hotel, les chambres sont grandes et pour la plupart rénovées. Cependant, l’acoustique est très mauvaise et nous entendons beaucoup les bruits ambiants. Dommage que la chambre avec le lit dispose de grosses baies vitrées, très joli en été mais peu pratique en hiver côté chaleur (j’ai du mettre le chauffage à 24…).
L’internet wifi, bien que disponible gratuitement en version standard, est médiocre. Il né marche quasiment jamais et sa vitesse…
La grosse déception fut dans la communication entre les employés et notre groupe. Nous avons manqué notre transport de 1h30 car leurs informations étaient incorrectes et que personne n’a penser à nous demander ce que nous faisions dans le lobby durant une heure.
En gros, ça fait pour un voyage d’affaires mais sinon, il y a peut-​être mieux ailleurs.

Even the location is very far from downtown Toronto, but the décor and 2 TV setting are still very charming.
Big bed and 5 pillows, very considerate.
They have complimentary wifi!!!
Lounge bar is beautiful

I came here for a bridal shower event. There were about 60 guests that came and the Hilton gave us an area away from the public dining area so we can decorate with balloons and etc. The staff was very accommodating, we had forgotten a few things needed to play bridal shower games and they were able to provide us with what we needed with no hesitation. The food was pretty good. We had a buffet style kind of brunch set up. There were croissants, an omelette bar, salmon, chicken, sushi, a waffle bar, a salad bar and a crazy amount of amazing desserts.
The only issue I had with this whole experience was the fact that they booked us in an area where the staff members was going in and out of the kitchen. So there were times when people were giving heartfelt speeches and a staff member would just walk through our area disturbing the speech.
Overall, our bride had a fantastic time and that is ALL that matters!

The Markham Hilton has recently undergone some renovations. The lobby and dinning room as well as the Honors Lounge are all nice and very well done. I really like the new lobby bar/​seating area, what a huge improvement over the old fountain/​pond thingy they had going on. Rooms are nice and well maintained, as well as spacious enough for 2 people to coexist comfortably. I recommend this property and will stay here whenever I am in the area.

And next up, in the new exciting HBO series of «Places That Find Ways To Mess Up DKLo’s Wedding», is… Hilton Markham!
We wanted to come here for a nice quiet retreat on the night after the wedding, after taking stock of the (frankly pathetic) other selection of Markham hotels available. I find it really sad that most, if not all, hotels in this greatly developing city still has echoes of those found in a small provincial town. There is no grand, impressive-​looking hotel, short of the Sheraton (which has outrageously outdated rooms) and this one. So, due to the lack of options, and also because this seems to be the only hotel to actually have the interior of a 21^st century establishment, we picked this one. It’s also an all-​suite hotel, which we thought would be nice.
But of course, OF COURSE, calamity had to strike.
We were informed upon checking in, that the hotel was overbooked for the night and that they were offering us a free stay in the Delta. EXCUSE ME? I booked the hotel 2 – 3 weeks before my wedding, and even confirmed a few days prior to arrival to make sure everything is going to be smooth. I mean, who even confirms hotel bookings anymore? So there was the bride and I, both in our wedding outfits, having a yelling match in the lobby.
I repeat, they were trying to kick a bride and a groom off to the next hotel.
I REPEAT, THEY WERE TRYING TO PUNT US ON OUR WEDDING NIGHT TO THE NEXT HOTEL.
I REP– nevermind.
So after yelling and some swear words, miraculously a room became available. And then we were told something along the lines of that there was a miscommunication and that it wasn’t really that the room wasn’t available, it’s that the UPGRADE wasn’t available. I have no words, truly.
The only thing that didn’t take this down to a one-​star was that, after realizing their monumental screwup of epic proportions, they tried hard to make up for it, from sending fruit baskets to making sure our in-​room requests for extra lotion etc were fulfilled within 5 minutes (admittedly impressive), along with some chocolates and (though I had to be the one who requested it), some percentage off the room rate.
Wonderful hotel interior, polite service, and nice modern rooms. Shame about the COLOSSAL SCREWUP at checking in. Not coming back here, ever, unless it’s on a super Hotwire deal or something.
Shame too, as their breakfast buffet wasn’t bad. And the restaurant is pretty damn good.

This is an old, exceptionally well maintained, high end hotel. I check that it is rated 4 stars by CAA (just want to mention some official rating for reference). Before it is Hilton, it was Embassy Suites.
The lobby is beautiful. There is a marble wall along the hallway, and if you look closely, you will see that not only it is real marble, it is cut out from the same piece of gigantic rock, layer by layer, like a CAT scan. The original builder of the hotel spent a small fortune on this wall. There are many chandeliers around the hotel. I know people will notice that this is an older hotel; but it doesn’t write off the luxurious decorations, in my opinion.
I stayed in an accessibility hotel room, meaning the room has features suitable for people with mobility problems. The bathroom is wheelchair friendly, so it is really big and one can turn a wheelchair around inside. There is no bath tub; there is a chair mounted on wall for one to take a shower sitting down. There is a handrail next to the shower chair to assist one to move from wheelchair or crutches to the chair.
The hallway from door through sitting area to bedroom is in a straight line and is wide enough for a wheelchair to pass through.
I know the room and the food here are expensive. This is not the point of my review. I want to praise Hilton to even have an accessibility room. They definitely spent some effort and *money* to properly outfit this room. Kudo! Someone who uses crutches, wheelchair, walker or a walking stick will appreciate the bathroom beyond the able bodies can imagine.

I didn’t stay at Hilton Suites Hotel overnight… I was here for a wedding banquet and the experience was excellent.
The cocktail reception before the actual dinner was nicely done. The services was excellent from the bartender to the wait staffs that walk around with plates of food.
The ballroom where the wedding actually held is spacious and the dance floor is huge. The services was though a little lacking as my water was never filled, my wine glass was always empty… I ended up just get a jar of water and bottle of wine and started serving my own table.
Food was quite good for a Chinese banquet style… The waiter at least remember to serve me food… and he gave me a couple of abalone and almost half a lobster… maybe I just have this angry and hungry look!
Tons of food! Chocolate fountain! Dessert table!
What a Great Wedding!
