Our Pillars

Environment

Protecting Our 1 World

Nestled in the center of downtown Toronto, designed to be a retreat from the bustling city, our hotel includes more than 3,300 plants, including native plants more resilient to the local climate, providing you with a sense of balance and restoration, and giving the earth a little more breathing room.

 

People & Equity

Supporting Our People & Communities

Our people are our most precious assets, especially when they come together from a spectrum of backgrounds. Not only is diversity, equity, and inclusion fundamental to enriching human connections, it’s also a big plus in terms of the different perspectives we bring to our 1 vision, the experiences we bring to you, and the teams we cultivate.

 

Prosperity

Growing Mindfully and Transperently

Our sanctuary is living proof that luxury hospitality, city living, and legitimate sustainability can exist as one. We’ve spent years collecting data regarding carbon emissions, energy consumption, water stewardship, waste diversion, DEI, biodiversity, and beyond, which has allowed us to remain true to our mission and reduce our impact on the environment as we grow.
