Situated in the busy ByWard Market, the Andaz Hotel was designed by Toronto’s Mason Studio, which filled the hotel with gestures that provide it a rich sense of place. Canadian artisans worked together with Mason studio on key elements, such as the illumination in the lobby by Hollis + Morris, which utilizes six different types of Canadian wood. Copper is a recurring material, influenced by the rooftops of the Parliament Buildings.
And each floor represents work by artists from a single province or territory, providing every level its own identity. Overall, natural woods, stones as well as metals integrate for a very little contemporary aesthetic.
In the suites, oak headboards as well as grey felt wall coverings set a cozy scene, while low-profile furniture doesn’t block the postcard views. For even more stunning scenery, head as much as the 16th-floor rooftop bar, Copper Spirits & Sights, and settle into one of the banquettes that surround crackling firepits.
