The Fairmont Royal York's distinctive design and chateau-style rooftop stand out in Toronto's crowded skyline. Equally distinctive is a $119 rate for stays through Oct. 8, which saves guests as much as 40% on current rates.

Stay in a standard room or upgrade to a deluxe room, which is almost twice the size, for an additional $70 per night.

This CAA/AAA 4-Diamond award-winning hotel was built in 1929 and was once the tallest building in the British Empire. It is attached by the underground PATH system to the Hockey Hall of Fame and the Eaton Centre, one of the city's largest shopping malls. The Rogers Centre, home of the Blue Jays, is a short stroll away.

Not available on: July 11, 16-18, 23-24; Aug. 4, 11, 18, 24-25; Sept. 5-13, 19-25; Oct. 1-4

Travelzoo Tip: The hotel chefs keep beehives and plants on the Royal York's 13th-floor terrace, which provides the nine on-site restaurants with fresh herbs, vegetables, flowers and honey. Guests can get a peek of this private rooftop garden following afternoon tea on Saturdays and Sundays.

Note: Bookings must be prepaid, and rates are nonrefundable.
