Scarborough, in Ontario, is the eastern part of the city of Toronto and is named after the Yorkshire town in England of the same name. Originally the area was a separate town, but since 1998 it has been absorbed into the city of Toronto. It is famous for being an area that attracts new immigrants and has a reputation, sometimes falsely, for having a high crime rate.
Located off Highway 401, this hotel is next to many of east Toronto's most popular tourist attractions, including its zoo, Ontario Science Centre, Hockey Hall of Fame, Scarborough Town Shopping Centre and Canada's Wonderland (Canada's premiere themed amusement park). Another positive is that it is only 25 miles from Toronto's international airport. The hotel itself possesses a 20,000 square foot atrium where guests will find a large swimming pool with water slides, saunas, whirlpool, squash court and exercise room. Guest rooms feature iPod docks, cable TV, in-room movies, coffee-makers and complimentary high-speed Internet access. When it comes to dining, guests have the choice of three venues: Sagano's, an elegant Japanese restaurant; Whitesides Terrace Grille, a bistro serving dinner buffets and Sunday lunch; and T.W's Bar, offering traditional pub food.
