“My stay at The Strathcona felt notably connected to the city, with Union Station practically at its doorstep, making transit and exploration remarkably straightforward. The thoughtful inclusion of Giller Prize-nominated novels in rooms and the lobby, alongside a welcoming fireplace, cultivated a sense of quiet comfort. It's a place that clearly values a refined yet approachable atmosphere, evident from the friendly staff to the well-appointed spaces.”
