Along Toronto's bustling downtown harbourfront, a CAA 4-Diamond hotel has cut rates by as much as 40% for travel through March. Rooms start at $137 (CA$135) per night.

Stay Fridays and Saturdays through March in an upgraded Lakeview Room and receive a CA$30 daily credit usable at one of the hotel's well-reviewed restaurants or toward Internet access (reg. CA$14.95 per day). For $172 (CA$169), stay in a Traditional Room with the same $30 credit Mondays-Thursdays; upgrade to a Lakeview Room for $20 (CA $20) more per night. 

All rooms at the Westin Harbour Castle overlook a sprawling lake or cityscape and are outfitted with Westin Heavenly Beds, plush feather pillows and spacious work areas. Guests looking to refocus their energy can attend a yoga class in the hotel’s gym, followed up by a dip in the indoor pool, ending with a stroll onto the adjoining deck to watch the sun set over a wind-rippled Lake Ontario.
