Oxford intends to spend approximately $25 million USD in additional capital expenditures over the next five years. A Hyatt affiliate will continue to operate the hotel under a new hotel services agreement.
“Oxford’s acquisition of Park Hyatt Toronto is in line with our stated strategy of owning highly visible, luxury and upper upscale assets with prime locations in key markets with high barriers to entry,” said Michael Kitt, Executive Vice President, Canada, Oxford. “We look forward to working together with Hyatt on a significant hotel renovation in line with the prestige of the brand and location.”
”This transaction is consistent with our asset recycling strategy and allows Hyatt to retain its luxury presence and management in Toronto, a key global market,” said Stephen Haggerty, global head, capital strategy, franchising and select service for Hyatt. “We are excited to enter into a relationship with a well respected owner that has such deep knowledge of the Canadian market and we believe their planned renovation of the hotel will underscore the luxury and elegance for which the Park Hyatt brand is known.”
Park Hyatt Toronto is located on the doorstep of Yorkville, at the landmark intersection of Avenue Road and Bloor Street across the street from the Royal Ontario Museum and a five-minute drive from Toronto’s financial and theatre districts. The south tower was built in 1932, and the north tower was built in 1955 and subsequently reconstructed in 1998 and 1999. The hotel features 17,000 square feet of meeting space, the Stillwater Spa, The Roof Lounge, featuring small plates and an extensive spirits menu, and the award-winning Annona restaurant.
