Bringing Innovation Home: DelSuites at GBTA’s 2025 Mobility Summit

October 29, 2025

Big news! DelSuites is heading to GBTA’s 2025 Workforce Mobility & Travel Summit. It’s where the biggest names in business travel and mobility gather to share ideas, tackle challenges, and explore what’s next for the future of work and travel.

We’re especially excited to show how DelSuites provides high-quality, affordable accommodations and business hospitality for organizations sending teams to Toronto, giving professionals the comfort and stability they need to stay productive.

The countdown is on, and we’re ready to be part of the action once again.

Stay with us as we’ll be sharing the details as we gear up for this much-anticipated event.

A Quick Look at the GBTA

The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) is the world’s leading organization for professionals in business travel and meetings. Representing an industry worth nearly $1.6 trillion worldwide, the GBTA has more than 9,000 members (including us) and continues to shape the future of corporate mobility.

But the impact doesn’t stop there. The GBTA and its foundation bring in more than 28,000 travel professionals and 125,000 active contacts through education, research, media, advocacy, and signature events, ranging from global conventions to local chapter meetups.

What sets GBTA apart is its international reach, with members in 70+ countries, and its commitment to advancing education, community, and policy. For anyone managing mobility programs or influencing travel decisions, the GBTA is a hub where leadership and solutions come together.

Recent GBTA 2025 Canada Conference Highlights

Recently, the GBTA shared insights into the Canadian business travel sector at its 2025 Canada Conference, held April 28–30 in Toronto.

Here are a few highlights from the conference:

Canada is now the 13th largest business travel market worldwide, and spending is forecasted to hit $44.3B CAD in 2025 (a 17.7% jump), faster than the global average.
Around 84% of Canadian business travellers say trips are worth it for getting work done.
The average spend per trip is $1,760 CAD, which is less than that of U.S. travellers, but still above the global average of $834 USD.
Among the top reasons for travel are conferences (23%), training (20%), and sales/partner meetings (12%).
Bleisure travel, mixing work and personal time, remains strong, with 55% of Canadians extending their trips.

What’s clear is that Canadians still see the value in being face-to-face, and the way we travel here doesn’t always match global patterns. GBTA insights like these are useful as they give us the bigger picture and help everyone in the industry plan smarter.

Say hello to Canada’s largest city, where every corner has a story.

Welcome to Toronto!

Known for its towering skyline dominated by the iconic CN Tower, Toronto offers an extraordinary blend of cultural diversity, urban sophistication, and natural beauty. The city’s multicultural vibe is reflected in its vibrant neighbourhoods, each showcasing a wide array of dining, shopping, and entertainment options.

First-Timer Travel Tips to Toronto

Let’s make your first trip to Toronto go without a hitch. From the best places to see to what’s happening all around the city, these tips will help you get to know Toronto like a local.

Getting Around Toronto

Getting around Toronto is a breeze, thanks to its well-connected public transportation system. The TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) runs subways, streetcars, and buses that can take you pretty much anywhere you need to go. A PRESTO card is a must-have for convenient and cost-effective travel across all TTC services.

For those who enjoy biking, Toronto has a fantastic bike-sharing program called Bike Share Toronto. You’ll find stations all over the city, making it easy to rent a bike and explore on two wheels. The city also has plenty of cycling paths and lanes to ensure a smooth ride.

Must-See Attractions

Toronto has a lot to offer, and you’ll want to hit the top spots. Start with the CN Tower, the landmark that gives you amazing views of the city. Try visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds. If you’re feeling adventurous, the EdgeWalk lets you walk around the tower’s outer edge, 356 meters up!

The Royal Ontario Museum is another top attraction, with its vast collections of art, culture, and natural history. The Art Gallery of Ontario is equally impressive, featuring works from around the world and a large selection of Canadian art.

Don’t miss St. Lawrence Market, one of the world’s best food markets. It’s a paradise for foodies, with a variety of local and international treats, fresh produce, and a rich history to explore.

Toronto is also full of hidden gems and local secrets. Explore the Distillery District, a pedestrian-only area with beautifully restored Victorian industrial buildings, is perfect for a stroll and some great photo ops.

For something off the beaten path, check out the Evergreen Brick Works, a community hub with walking trails, farmers’ markets, and beautiful views of the Don Valley.

Book a Serviced Furnished Apartment

When it comes to accommodations, traditional hotels might not always be the best option. For a more comfortable and home-like experience, consider booking a serviced furnished apartment.

These apartments come fully equipped with everything you need, from kitchen appliances to laundry facilities, making your stay much more convenient and enjoyable.

In Toronto, DelSuites features the best variety of short-term apartment rentals across the Greater Toronto Area. Renowned for their commitment to quality and personalized service, DelSuites has everything you need, including high-speed internet, professional housekeeping, and fitness facilities.

Bring the whole family (even the fur babies)!

Experience the Local Culture

Toronto is a melting pot of cultures, and exploring its diverse neighbourhoods is a must.

Start with Kensington Market, known for its bohemian vibe, eclectic shops, and vibrant street art. Then, head over to Chinatown for some amazing Asian cuisine and unique shopping experiences. Little Italy also gives a taste of European charm with its cozy cafes and bustling restaurants.

Toronto is also home to major cultural events like the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), which attracts filmmakers and movie buffs from around the world. Throughout the year, the city hosts various seasonal festivals and local events that showcase its rich cultural heritage.

Make sure you catch live music and theatre performances. Toronto’s arts scene is thriving, with venues like the Royal Alexandra Theatre and Massey Hall hosting world-class entertainment.

Don’t Forget About Dining and Nightlife

The culinary scene is as diverse as its population. Make sure to try iconic Canadian foods like poutine, peameal bacon sandwiches, and butter tarts. The city is also famous for its beer gardens and cafes—fantastic spots for relaxing and hanging out.

When the sun sets, Toronto’s nightlife comes alive. King Street West and Queen Street West are known for their party scene, offering bars, clubs, and lounges of all types. No matter what you’re looking for—a laid-back pub or a high-energy dance club—Toronto’s the place to be.

Outdoor Activities You Shouldn’t Miss

Toronto has a lot more than just urban experiences. You’ll love High Park for a leisurely stroll or a picnic, and Allan Gardens, known for its beautiful botanical displays. The Toronto Islands are a short ferry ride away and boast stunning views of the city skyline, beaches, and tons of recreational activities.

There’s also the Lake Ontario Waterfront. Enjoy kayaking, sailing, or simply walking along the scenic trails. And if you’re up for a day trip, popular nearby destinations like Niagara Falls and Blue Mountain are within driving distance. Niagara Falls is known around the world, while Blue Mountain is ideal for skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer.

Quick Practical Tips Before You Travel

So, are you now planning a trip to Toronto? Here are some practical tips for a smooth and enjoyable visit.

Pack layers to accommodate temperature changes, and check the weather forecast before you go.
When dining out, tipping is customary (15-20% of the bill).
Keep emergency numbers handy and secure your belongings.
While many places provide free Wi-Fi, having a local SIM card or international phone plan can be convenient for staying connected and navigation.
Snag those pro sports tickets (or other big-ticket events) way ahead of time because they sell out quickly.
Canadians value politeness and respect, so simple gestures like saying “please” and “thank you” are highly appreciated.

With all that noted, you’ll be well-prepared to enjoy everything Toronto has to offer.

Living Like a Local: Exploring Toronto From Your Furnished Apartment

October 15, 2025

Stepping into Toronto for the first time can feel both exciting and inviting. The city greets you with its mix of historic streets and modern skylines, neighbourhood cafés buzzing with morning chatter, and markets overflowing with fresh produce.

However, beyond the well-known landmarks, the little things about everyday life are what make Toronto memorable. It’s the corner bakery you pass on your walk, the quiet park where neighbours gather, and the familiar streetcar rattling by on a weekday morning.

Living like a local in Toronto means weaving these small moments into your routine. The best way to start doing so? Have the reliability of a place that feels like home. A furnished DelSuites apartment can make all the difference. With locations across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), guests can step into a fully equipped space, then walk outside and feel immediately connected to the rhythm of Toronto life.

Each DelSuites property is surrounded by conveniences and neighbourhood favourites that shape everyday living.

In this post, you’ll learn how our properties can give you access to the same comforts and choices locals enjoy every day.

Grocery Shopping Like a Local

Food shopping sets the tone for how you settle in. Whether you’re preparing a quick breakfast before meetings or planning a relaxed weekend dinner, knowing the right stores nearby makes life simpler.

Downtown Toronto

Guests in the core have one of the city’s best-known food destinations at their doorstep: St. Lawrence Market. Packed with butchers, cheesemongers, fish counters, and produce stalls, it’s a place to shop that’s also a part of the city’s culture.

Locals also stop by for a loaf of bread from Carousel Bakery or smoked salmon from Mike’s Fish Market, and the variety of international flavours makes every visit different.

Etobicoke/Toronto West

Neighbourhood grocery shopping is personal here. Lakeshore Village Fruit offers fresh produce with a family-run feel, while BlossomPure Organic connects shoppers to local farmers, with both pickup and delivery options available.

Markham

Known for its diverse food scene, Markham residents often turn to Fortinos, a Canadian favourite with its European-style market layout. With its artisan cheeses and freshly baked breads, it’s a step up from a standard chain store.

Mid-Town Toronto

Locals know Fiesta Farms as their go-to independent grocer. It’s stocked with organic produce, specialty international goods, and seasonal finds that keep weekday meals interesting.

Mississauga

Highland Farms, part of a family-run chain, has long been trusted by residents for fresh produce and specialty items. The wide selection is perfect for anyone planning both everyday meals and gatherings.

North York

Here, McEwan Fine Foods blends grocery shopping with gourmet dining. Prepared foods, an expansive deli, and high-quality ingredients make it popular for busy professionals who want convenience without sacrificing taste.

Scarborough

Scarborough’s multicultural mix is shown in its shopping. Coppa’s Fresh Market combines everyday essentials with carefully selected local and international goods, making it a reliable and community-rooted choice.

Getting Around Toronto

Toronto is a city where movement is part of daily life. Headed to a meeting downtown? Visiting family across the GTA? Exploring a nearby park? Transportation options are always plentiful and reliable.

Staying in a DelSuites apartment means you’re always within reach of routes locals trust every day. Here are ways to get around:

Subway: Four lines connect major neighbourhoods, with Line 1 (Yonge–University) being especially useful for guests staying near DelSuites in North York, Midtown, or Downtown. Trains run frequently, and stations are well-marked and easy to navigate.
Streetcars: Part of the light-rail transit system, these run through main corridors like King Street, Spadina, and Queen Street.
Buses: Buses reach every corner of the GTA. Guests staying further west in Etobicoke or east in Scarborough will find them essential for connecting to subway or streetcar lines.
PRESTO Card: A single card gives access to all modes of TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) service, plus GO Transit trains and buses for longer trips across the GTA. You can also simply use a debit or credit card for even more convenience and still enjoy the perk of free unlimited transfers within the 2-hour window.
Bike Share Toronto: With docking stations across the city, biking is a healthy and flexible way to explore neighbourhoods. The Midtown and Downtown areas have the most coverage.
Ride-Share and Taxis: Uber and Lyft are widely available and useful for late-night trips or areas less connected by transit.

Coffee Culture: Where Locals Refuel

Toronto takes its coffee seriously.

Beyond the familiar Tim Hortons or Starbucks, the city has cultivated a thriving independent café scene that reflects its diversity, creativity, and local rhythm.

Balzac’s Coffee Roasters has grown into a Toronto institution by blending historic architecture with carefully brewed coffee. The downtown locations are often set in character-filled buildings, giving every visit a sense of place.

Pilot Coffee Roasters brings a modern edge to the city’s coffee landscape. Known for its sourcing and roasting, Pilot appeals to guests who appreciate detail in their cup. Several of its cafés are close to DelSuites locations in Midtown and Downtown.

For a creative take, De Mello Coffee is worth noting. With its sleek interior and unique menu (including its blueberry latte, which has become a favourite), it blends artistry with comfort.

On the west side, Birds and Beans in Etobicoke offers an intimate atmosphere with an emphasis on sustainable coffee. It’s the type of café where locals know the staff by name, and it has become a gathering spot for those who prefer to stay close to the waterfront.

Meanwhile, in Markham, Hatch Coffee Roasters specializes in rare beans and global roasting styles. For guests eager to try something distinctive, Hatch feels less like a café and more like a curated tasting room.

Dining and Hidden Gems Near DelSuites

Evenings and weekends in Toronto are shaped by food and neighbourhood experiences too. Each area surrounding DelSuites properties offers a mix of celebrated restaurants and places locals quietly treasure.

Kensington Market (Downtown Toronto)

This market is as much about atmosphere as it is about food.

Known for its murals, vintage shops, and eclectic restaurants, Kensington Market embodies Toronto’s multicultural dining scene. Guests can wander around to get tacos at Seven Lives or empanadas at El Gordo Fine Foods, all within a few steps.

James Gardens (Etobicoke)

West Toronto residents often retreat to James Gardens for its trails, rock gardens, and ponds. A short drive from DelSuites properties in Etobicoke, it’s a welcome break from the city’s fast pace. It’s a favourite setting for picnics, quiet walks, and photography.

Montgomery’s Inn (Etobicoke)

This historic site doubles as a living-history museum and a weekly farmers’ market. Guests staying in Etobicoke often stop by to experience a glimpse of 19th-century Toronto while browsing for fresh produce or local baked goods.

Toogood Pond Park (Markham)

For guests in Markham, Toogood Pond Park offers walking trails, birdwatching, and an escape into nature. It’s popular with families and professionals alike, and it provides balance after a busy day.

Guild Park and Gardens (Scarborough)

Nestled on the Scarborough Bluffs, Guild Park features architectural fragments from demolished Toronto buildings, set among gardens and open spaces. For DelSuites guests in Scarborough, it’s a rare blend of history, art, and nature.

Scarborough Bluffs (Scarborough)

Stretching along Lake Ontario, the Bluffs remain one of the city’s most stunning natural features. Locals visit for hiking, photography, or a peaceful day by the water. It’s an experience that feels far removed from urban life yet is minutes away from home.

Local Lifestyle and Everyday Stops

Living like a Torontonian isn’t only about the food or the sights—it’s about the everyday stops that shape community life. DelSuites guests often find that the amenities around them reflect the routines of locals who call these neighbourhoods home.

Most neighbourhoods have accessible gyms, yoga studios, and community centres. Guests in Midtown often enjoy a morning run through Eglinton Park, while those in Mississauga can take advantage of the lakeside trails near Port Credit. These spaces put wellness and activity right at your doorstep.

Libraries and cultural centres also play an important role in the city. The Toronto Public Library system is one of the busiest in North America, with branches in nearly every district. North York Central Library, for example, is a hub for study, events, and quiet reading. In Markham, the Varley Art Gallery offers a cultural escape right in the community.

Every day convenience matters, too. Pharmacies like Shoppers Drug Mart are reliable stops across the GTA, while neighbourhood health food stores and bakeries provide a more personal touch.

Living Like a Local with DelSuites

Toronto is a city of contrasts: modern towers beside historic markets, quiet parks a short walk from busy avenues, and international dining around every corner. Living like a local means experiencing those contrasts and moving between the convenience of big-name services and the warmth of small community gems.

DelSuites offers a starting point for that lifestyle. Each furnished apartment places you in a vibrant neighbourhood surrounded by the same grocery stores, cafés, parks, and cultural venues that residents enjoy daily.

What’s Included in a DelSuites Stay? More Than You’d Expect

September 3, 2025

Toronto’s calling! In the 6ix, there’s plenty to see and do for every kind of traveller. Whether you’re here to explore secret spots or a business traveller who wants comfort without compromise, you need an extended stay that won’t pile on the bills or leave you feeling boxed in.

One of the emerging themes in business travel is how the lines between business and leisure, known as bleisure, continue to blur. More people are now mixing boardrooms with brunch spots, conference calls with city walks. No more stiff, overly corporate hotel vibes.

And for the casual traveller, it’s about enjoying more comfort, space, and flexibility than a cramped hotel room can offer.

DelSuites completely answers this need. You get the space, privacy, and convenience of home with luxury, hotel-style accommodations, services, and amenities, and with no hidden surprises.

See how DelSuites can elevate your Toronto stay with thoughtful amenities, flexible options, and a sense of community you won’t forget.

Suites Designed for Living, Not Just Staying

DelSuites offers more than a place to sleep. These condo rentals are apartment-style spaces built to sustain day-to-day living. Think of modern layouts where you can work at a proper desk but also stretch out in the living room or get to actually enjoy dinner at a dining table and not hunched over a hotel nightstand.

Here are some key inclusions to expect in your DelSuites apartment:

Quality furniture and stylish décor
Fully stocked kitchen with appliances and cookware
Fresh linens, towels, and bedding
In-suite laundry
High-speed Wi-Fi
Smart TVs or streaming access

Why does this matter? Instead of having to rely on takeout, you can whip up a complete meal in your own fully equipped kitchen. And rather than have the bed be the only place to unwind, you can relax in a spacious living area after a long day. Having conveniences like this makes it easier to stick to your travel budget, since you’re not eating out for every meal or paying extra for laundry services.

You’ll have room to unpack, relax, and settle in like you’re at home.

Services That Upgrade the Traditional Hotel Stay

If your time in Toronto goes beyond a short visit, furnished apartments make far more sense than a standard hotel room. With DelSuites, every part of your stay is made to be stress-free.

Here are the services you can expect:

All-inclusive utilities: Water, heating/cooling, high-speed internet, cable, a premium package with local and North American long-distance calls, and more.
Bi-weekly cleaning services: Your suite always feels fresh without you lifting a finger.
24/7 guest services and maintenance support: Real people (no robots here) are always ready to help, day or night.
Flexible departure policy: Extend your reservation with a 14-day notice if plans change.
Minimum 30-night stay: Ideal for relocations, work assignments, or long projects. Tax-free nightly rates.

With services like these, you can focus on your trip instead of dealing with logistics. DelSuites takes care of the little things so you can enjoy the big moments.

Amenities That Feel Like an Upgrade

DelSuites raises the bar, making your stay feel like a genuine upgrade from the usual long-term lodging experience.

Depending on the DelSuites location, you’ll have access to these top-notch amenities:

Fully equipped fitness centres to keep your routine on track
Indoor or outdoor pools for a quick swim or weekend lounging
Rooftop lounges with city views you’ll want to soak in
BBQ areas for casual get-togethers
Meeting rooms for private work sessions or hosting clients
Secure parking options for peace of mind
Pet-friendly suites and amenities designed for four-legged guests (like the Dog Spa and “Bark Park” at The Livmore)

With perks like these, your extended home away from home becomes a place you’ll be excited to return to every day.
