Mayfair Hotel at Andrin’s City Centre Condos to be Preserved

Great news for lovers of heritage buildings downtown.  Restoration & expansion of the historic Mayfair Hotel at Andrin’s City Centre Condo development is moving forward.

Updated: Check out this video report from the developer

CTV News reports:

Built around 1905 and converted to the Mayfair around 1929, it set to become a boutique hotel, spa and restaurant.

Brampton-based developer Andrin Homes will reportedly maintain the historic exterior while renovating the interior. Additional levels will be added to make it a nine story building.

The Record adds more details:

“Glass and steel additions will be built on top of the existing buildings, bringing the height to nine floors. The inside of both buildings will be completely rebuilt. Three floors will be added to the Mayfair Hotel at 11 Young St. Six floors to the building next door at 156-158 King St. west.

The proposed redevelopment plan calls for a speakeasy club in the basement and:

First floor — a restaurant, whisky bar, hotel lobby and pool.

Second floor — 13 suites plus a gym and yoga studio.

Third floor — 13 suites and the spa’s reception.

Fourth floor — 14 suites and the spa.

Fifth floor — 14 suites and office space.

Sixth floor — 14 suites and two conference rooms.

Seventh and Eight floors — 14 suites on each level.

Ninth floor — sky bar and restaurant.

Leon Bensason, the city’s head of cultural heritage planning, said the new floors will be contemporary and compliment the old architecture below.”

The rendering looks great, I’m excited for it to get underway.  Will you stay at the new boutique hotel here?
