Hedonists Toronto
Life - Article by Olivia Stren - November 2007
"The Hazelton has brought
a heightened level of luxury to the hotel scene. "Materials
are richer than what Toronto is used to," says Yabu.
"There's a lot of high contrast in the palette, and
lots of texture and interesting finishes."
The hotel's $130 million price tag is evident in hallways
inlaid with mother of pearl, floors of Pakistani marble,
handmade light fixtures and a sexy metallic colour scheme.
Walls are panelled in cowhide, stone or suede, and trimmed
in African walnut.
YP's goal was a surplus of "wow moments."

Understated elegance will prevail throughout the Hazelton,

North 44 and Bymark."
