From the moment your eyelids flutter open in your King Blue suite’s master bedroom, there’s virtually no limit to what you can do and what they day will bring in the dynamic King West community. Whether you choose to keep it casual, keep active, meet with friends for a meal or fly solo for some shopping you’ll be surrounded by options and amenities that are just as vibrant as the neighbourhood.
What does a day in King Blue look like? We’re sharing our idea of the perfect Saturday in the Entertainment District’s hottest new address.
9 am: The first rays of sun are streaming in from your window high above Toronto’s skyline and making their way across the room. You head down to the 7th floor and start the day with a few laps in the stunning indoor pool for some immediate invigoration.
10 am: After a shower in your luxurious bathroom you’re ready to head out to meet with friends in King West for breakfast. With options like Aroma Espresso Bar, La Merceria, Zoe’s Café, What a Bagel and Le Gourmand all in the area there’s plenty of delicious and healthy options where you can sit and fill each other in on the week’s events.
12 pm: Time to pick up some delectable eats and hosting items for the gathering you’re having later at King Blue. Within walking distance you can head to LCBO, Fresh & Wild, SOMA Chocolatemaker and Homesense for everything you need for a great weekend get together. You might even stop by GotStyle for Men, Riant Boutique or Winners to find a new outfit for the occasion before heading home!
3 pm: As you walk to King Blue back through the porte-cochere courtyard, through the gorgeous lobby, past the fireplace, on your way to your suite, you can feel the thrum of urban life. After your new purchases are set back in your suite you decide today’s the day to visit the Theatre Museum of Canada conveniently located in the building. With the few extra hours you have to spare you take in the distinguished exhibits in their lit-up space cantilevered over the street. You’re in exactly the right mood to help celebrate Canada’s performing arts heritage.
7 pm: A few of your friends arrive and you lead the way to the theatre room for a flick on the big screen, before you start setting up refreshments in your privately reserved spot on the incredible rooftop terrace. By the time the rest of your guests arrive, you’ve got the steaks sizzling on the barbecue and the party is in full swing.
10 pm: The sounds of the nearby waterfall provide a background soundtrack to the evening, joining the laughter as your guests gather around a fire-pit or duck inside for a drink at the bar. All around, the city you love sparkles in the night.
12 am: With King Blue’s guest suite as beautifully appointed as your own, your friends are more than happy to spend the night in the city. You’re all planning on meeting for breakfast before the Toronto Blue Jays game at the nearby Rogers Centre the next day anyway. Some may even wake up in time to join you for some morning poses in the yoga studio first, or enjoy the morning paper on the rooftop patio.
For a taste of all that life can be, visit the King Blue Presentation Centre at 355 King St. W., Monday to Thursday from noon to 6 p.m. or Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.
