Developed by Manga Group, a 32-story mixed-use tower—comprised of TOOR Hotel and the 203 Residences—is making its mark in Toronto’s transforming East End.
The property, overlooking historic Moss Park, features an architectural vision by Arcadis with an interior fit-out by design firm mackaywong.
The building asserts its identity through a composition of stacked, articulated boxes, contrasting the robust, sculptural forms of the upper residential levels with the lighter geometries of the hotel floors below.
Inside, the design draws inspiration from Toronto’s parks and the nearby Allan Gardens. Guests are welcomed into a lobby that serves as an urban conservatory grounded by a live moss wall at reception and large-format botanical graphics.
Subtle nods to 19th-century greenhouse engineering emerge through ornate stair railings, custom metalwork, and blackened metal accents. These structured details are softened by curved furnishings, artisanal wallcoverings, warm wood, and copper-colored circular motifs that connect each level.
Dining at MUSE Bistro + Bar
The property’s social heart is MUSE Bistro + Bar, a modern French restaurant reimagined through the lens of Toronto’s Garden District. The ground-level entry reveals a marble-topped bar wrapped in wood tambour detailing, paired with emerald glazed tile and antique mirrors that set a Parisian café tone.
Moving upstairs, the narrative continues with garden-inspired murals, double-sided banquettes, and softly glowing pendants. The private dining area cultivates an airy, quietly theatrical elegance, marrying sculptural lighting and French design cues with orangerie-inspired arches and abundant greenery.
Amenities at TOOR Hotel and the 203 Residences
Separating the 232 hotel guestrooms from the 181 residential rental units are two dedicated floors of shared amenities. The second-floor level provides a bright, multifunctional space complete with meeting rooms, breakout zones, and a guest kitchen. Here, soft whites, warm timber, and citrus hues contrast with tactile concrete columns and natural stone surfaces.
The fitness club, perched on the 14th floor, extends the conservatory narrative upward through graphic botanical murals and wood-look acoustic ceilings.
Crowning the tower, the 203 Residences translate this curated nature to a more intimate scale, with calm botanical palettes, clean lines, refined millwork, and sweeping views of the downtown skyline and Lake Ontario.
