Project Description
Hilton Toronto’s lobby invites both travelers and locals to come together in this recently renovated space. Originally opened in 1975 and designed by the renowned John B. Parkin & Associates, this is an iconic landmark hotel in downtown Toronto. Its transformation combines a rich history with modern luxury, where sophisticated lighting design enhances the atmosphere to create a warm and inviting space for visitors.
The Parisian-inspired lobby bar was intentionally designed with layers of warm, ambient lighting. Custom pendant fixtures are strategically placed to balance the light radiance, while recessed lighting shines on architectural elements. An important factor for the lighting design team was to select placements for the illumination to guide visitors and guests between entrances, seating areas, and communal spaces. Adaptable lighting schemes support events ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations, accommodating accessibility and comfort for a diverse range of guests.
Hilton Hotel offers guests a place that encourages a sense of community with sustainability practices. By collaborating with local artisans and craftspeople, the design team integrated elements that reflect Toronto’s diverse cultural fabric. High-efficiency LED fixtures were chosen to reduce energy consumption, carrying out the Hilton Hotel’s commitment to responsible design.
From its rich history to its thoughtfully reimagined renovation, the Hilton Toronto lobby has evolved into a celebrated destination in the city. Honouring its legacy while embracing modern innovation, it continues to be a timeless gathering place that bridges the past and future.
