The 2026 World Cup is in full swing, and Toronto is buzzing with Canada’s home matches, played at **BMO Field**. On the shores of Lake Ontario, at the historic Exhibition Place, Toronto’s stadium enjoys an open setting, a short distance from a downtown area rich in luxury hotels. From the only establishment located on the stadium site itself to the big names in international luxury found in the city centre, here’s where to stay to experience the World Cup, Ontarian style.
Hotel X Toronto by Library Hotel Collection
This is the unbeatable address for proximity. **Hotel X is the only establishment located on the Exhibition Place site itself, just a short walk from BMO Field.** This slender tower facing Lake Ontario offers bright rooms with spectacular views of the water or the skyline, a very comprehensive indoor sports complex, and a rooftop bar overlooking the park. On Canada match nights, its location becomes a rare luxury: you can reach the stands on foot, without shuttle or transport. A contemporary, wellness-oriented style, ideal for combining high-end comfort with direct access to the stadium.
Four Seasons Hotel Toronto
In the heart of Yorkville, the city’s most chic district, the Four Seasons stands as a benchmark for Torontonian luxury. Its elegant rooms, award-winning spa, and a restaurant helmed by a renowned chef make it a favourite retreat for discerning travellers. **This is the address for impeccable refinement, amidst designer boutiques and galleries.** Yorkville is connected to the rest of the city by subway, and BMO Field remains accessible by taxi or by combining subway and tram. Ideal for those who wish to make Toronto a gourmet stop as much as a football destination.
The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto
Nestled in the heart of Downtown, a stone’s throw from the Entertainment District and the CN Tower, The Ritz-Carlton combines a central location with understated comfort. Its rooms are among the most spacious in the city, and its light-filled indoor pool, like its spa, offers a true respite after a bustling day. **Its central location facilitates access to the stadium as well as to the metropolis’s main hubs.** From the city centre, BMO Field can be reached via the King Street tram or a short GO Transit journey to Exhibition station.
The St. Regis Toronto
Housed in one of the Financial District’s tallest towers, The St. Regis offers breathtaking panoramas of the city and the lake. The establishment showcases its signature grandeur: butler service, opulent interiors, and a sky-high bar that is one of Toronto’s most popular. **This is the address for height and spectacular urban views, right in the business district.** Its position in the Financial District places it near Union Station, from where GO Transit reaches Exhibition in a matter of minutes.
Shangri-La Toronto
The Shangri-La brings a touch of Asian elegance and a renowned sense of service to the city centre. Its rooms, among the city’s most refined, blend noble materials with discreet technology, while its spa contributes to a serene atmosphere. **Guests come here seeking warm hospitality and a rare tranquillity right in Downtown.** Ideally located on University Avenue, the hotel remains close to Union Station and the lines leading to BMO Field.
How to Get to the Stadium
BMO Field is located at Exhibition Place, on the edge of Lake Ontario, immediately west of the city centre. **The quickest way from Downtown is by GO Transit, which connects Union Station to Exhibition station in a matter of minutes.** Tram lines 509 or 511 also serve the area directly from the city centre, along the lakefront. On Canada match nights, crowds in the vicinity will be dense, so it’s better to favour the train or tram over a car, as parking at Exhibition Place is limited. From Hotel X, there’s no question · everything is within walking distance.
When to Book and What to Budget
Canada’s home matches are among the most anticipated events of the tournament for the host nation, and Toronto experiences exceptional demand on these dates. **The most sought-after rooms, starting with those at Hotel X right by the stadium, sell out quickly.** If your dates are set, it’s best to book without delay, opting for a refundable rate to maintain flexibility. Budget-wise, expect a significant surcharge during Canada’s match window. To lighten the cost, target non-match nights and compare the lakefront and Downtown areas, where price differences can be significant.
Between Hotel X, right next to BMO Field, and the constellation of luxury hotels in the city centre, Toronto offers a rare range of options to follow Canada at home. Each has to make their own trade-off: absolute proximity on the lakefront, or the high luxury of a well-connected Downtown. In both cases, the excitement of a home World Cup will be guaranteed.
