Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts has announced the opening date for its new flagship hotel in the heart of Toronto, Canada - the hospitality group's hometown for more than 50 years.

Launching on 5 October, the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto showcases the "next generation" of Four Seasons properties and is located in the city's Yorkville shopping quarter.

The 2,700sq m (29,063sq ft) Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Toronto - one of the largest luxury urban spas in Toronto - is among the facilities and will be spread across two floors.

Yabu Pushelberg has been responsible for the interior design of the spa, which will contain a total of 17 customised treatment rooms and a hair and nail bar.

The spa also features a yoga studio; an indoor swimming pool with adjacent whirlpool; and an indoor and outdoor relaxation deck, as well as locker rooms with steamroom and sauna.

Elsewhere at the 259-bedroom hotel, facilities include Café Boulud and dbar by international restaurateur and chef Daniel Boulud, which will offer modern French cuisine.

Dimitrios Zarikos, regional vice president and hotel general manager, said: "We greatly share in the anticipation surrounding the opening of this hotel."
