Night out at the Thompson

I have been to numerous bars and clubs in the past couple years, but without a doubt the rooftop at the Thompson was an unforgettable night with amazing people. The mature vibe, incredible view and nice variety of music make it a fun environment for almost any individual. It is the type of place that you can be wild, or just sit and relax and have a few drinks with some good company. Personally I always try to bring out with me the best people in order to ensure I have a good time, but visiting a classy luxurious place is definitely a bonus.

This is a picture of me on the rooftop at the Thompson enjoying myself to the fullest. This past weekend when this picture was taken was the first time I had ever attended the Thompson and it definitely wasn't going to be my last. Although I didn't visit the actual club part of the hotel called the Wildflower, I walked up the stairs into the lounge and fell in love with the view of the CN Tower and the rest of Toronto. Although it was a bit cool outside the view was breathtaking therefore distracted me from the weather. It was also a good spot to cool down after doing a bit of dancing in the lounge area. I spent majority of my night with one of my best friends (which is displayed in the picture below this paragraph) and with some other friends and new people i met throughout the night. We had bottle service, and I can definitely say it added to the experience by having our own place to sit and relax while being able to leave and come back as we choose. After me and my group of friends had finished our bottle service upstairs, we checked out the lobby in which there was a huge bar layout with good music and a mature group of people, most of which were staying in the hotel that same night, and others coming up from the basement club portion. At that point the night was coming to an end, and we decided to go to the 24 hour breakfast place around the corner. At that point it was the perfect place to go to, I had acquired an appetite and breakfast was my favourite meal of the day so I was quite content. The best part about being in that breakfast place at that time was that everyone was still in party mode and having a good time, and at one point in hour of sitting there we got the whole restaurant singing along to one of my group's favourite songs, summertime sadness. It was as if we were getting a bunch of strangers and making them all do something in unison, making the environment more relaxed and comfortable.

The great thing about the Thompson is it not only a place that you can party, but also a place you can stay for the night. It has a variety of options of different rooms you can stay in with amazing views of the beautiful city of Toronto. The cool white and lush orange accented rooms with dark hardwood floors add the luxurious feel to the stay at the hotel. Additionally it has a gorgeous 40 foot swimming pool that could be used by the residents. Surrounding the hotel are many food places you can dine at including Blowfish Restaurant and Sake Bar (sushi place with lounge), Rodney's Oyster House, Lee Lounge (Asian diner), BUCA (Italian cuisine), SOMA chocolate (chocolate shop) and a variety of others. All of these restaurants and eating places are within walking distance of the Thompson on King Street West. Also within walking distance is one of the more well known art galleries in Toronto ( Art galley of Ontario) as well others so if art is something that interests you this is another option to explore during your stay.
