Travel Tips for a Smooth Toronto Stay

Getting your bags packed and ready? Make sure you keep these essential travel tips in mind:

  • Choosing Your Accommodation: Accommodation plays a big role in how comfortable your trip will be. DelSuites provides fully furnished suites ideal for short-term stays with everything you need, including extra space, an in-suite washer and dryer, and a full kitchen, along with top-notch amenities—not to mention all our suites are ideally located.
  • Public Transportation: Toronto’s TTC system, comprising subways, streetcars, and buses, provides extensive coverage of the city. Purchasing a PRESTO card makes it easy to travel around the city and get discounts and perks at many attractions and establishments. Otherwise, you can simply tap your credit or debit card for peak convenience.
  • Weather Preparedness: Toronto’s weather can be unpredictable. To accommodate sudden changes, it’s advisable to bring layers and carry an umbrella.
  • Cultural Etiquette: Toronto prides itself on diversity and inclusivity. Respect for different cultures and communities goes a long way in enhancing your travel experience.
  • Pet-Friendly Facilities: Take a look at the many parks that offer off-leash areas for dogs. Many restaurants, cafes, and accommodations (including ours!) also welcome pets, so the whole family, including your furry companion, can have a fun time.
  • Accessibility: The city is committed to being accessible to everyone, with most attractions, public transportation, and facilities designed to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges. That said, it’s recommended to check specific accessibility features of venues in advance.

Having a well-planned itinerary and preparing ahead of time helps you make the most of your Toronto stay—even after business hours for the corporate traveller.

DelSuites and Furniture Bank: A Partnership Bringing Home Comfort to Families

March 19, 2025
delsuites furniture bank

DelSuites is a company built on quality, service, and a deep-rooted commitment to the communities we serve. As part of the Tridel Group—a true Canadian success story—we have upheld the same level of excellence that has made Tridel an industry leader in condominium development.

Over the years, DelSuites has become a trusted name in corporate housing, offering fully furnished suites in prime residential communities across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). With thoughtful amenities and a dedication to exceptional service, we ensure every guest experiences comfort, convenience, and quality during their stay.

Beyond providing accommodations, we’re dedicated to giving back to the community. We recognize the importance of corporate social responsibility and actively contribute to causes that make a real impact. Our partnerships with the Toronto Humane Society, Church of the Redeemer, Haven Toronto, and YWCA Toronto, among many other organizations, reflect our ongoing commitment to creating positive change. 

This time, we’re proud to continue this tradition by partnering with Furniture Bank—an initiative that transforms empty spaces into homes by providing essential furniture to families in need.

A Partnership with Purpose

Since 1998, Furniture Bank’s mission has been simple yet profound: to provide individuals and families with the essential furnishings needed to turn a house into a home across Canada.

For many, a furnished home means sleeping in a bed instead of on the floor, sharing meals at a dining table, and feeling a sense of normalcy amid challenging circumstances.

At DelSuites, we’re proud to support Furniture Bank in helping support families overcome homelessness, women and children escape domestic violence, newcomers to Canada, and individuals rebuild their lives after hardship.

By joining forces with Furniture Bank, we’ve reinforced our commitment to giving back, giving our gently used furniture a new life in homes in need.

Making a Difference

In 2024 alone, Furniture Bank helped furnish homes for 6,473 people.

“Having a safe and comfortable home means everything to my family. We now have beds to sleep in and a dining table to share meals together. This generosity has truly changed our lives, thank you.” — Anonymous, Furniture Bank Client

DelSuites is honoured to be part of this mission. Within the same year, we donated 344 furniture items, including sofas, beds, tables, chairs, and dressers, with a total in-kind value exceeding $21,000.

These contributions have directly supported families in transition, providing them with not just furniture but a renewed sense of dignity and stability. Our partnership with Furniture Bank played a meaningful role in making this a reality.

The Power of Our Partnership

Corporate partnerships like the one between DelSuites and Furniture Bank are crucial to creating lasting social impact. When businesses prioritize giving back, they contribute to meaningful change that extends far beyond the bottom line.

At DelSuites, we believe that success should be measured not only by business achievements but also by the positive impact we make on the lives of others.

As Tammy Peddle, Social Enterprise Director at Furniture Bank, states: “A furnished home is a fresh start. Thanks to DelSuites, more families now have the comfort and security of a real home. Your generosity is not just filling rooms—it’s restoring dignity and hope.”

Our partnership with Furniture Bank represents our values. We strive to provide guests with top-notch accommodations and contribute to the well-being of our community.

Through this collaboration, we reaffirm our dedication to social responsibility and the belief that everyone deserves a healthy and safe home.

Looking Ahead: Continuing the Commitment 

As we look ahead to 2025, DelSuites is excited to continue our partnership with Furniture Bank and expand our efforts to help even more families in need.

The need for furniture donations remains significant, and organizations like Furniture Bank rely on continued support from businesses and individuals alike to sustain their mission.

We encourage other businesses to explore ways they can contribute to social causes, whether through donations, corporate sponsorships, or volunteer efforts. Small actions, like repurposing gently used furniture, can create lasting change in the lives of families striving to build a better future.

At DelSuites, we believe that every stay should have a lasting impact—not just on our guests but on the community as a whole. When you choose us, you’re becoming part of a movement that transforms lives.

Contact us today and become part of something bigger. Together, we can continue to make a difference one home at a time.

  • Amenities and Comfort: Guests can enjoy a selection of amenities, including fitness facilities, concierge service, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a premium cable package with over 100 channels. 
  • Pet-Friendly ($): Each suite allows one pet, with no size restrictions, so your furry friend can stay comfortably with you. 

We understand that comfort, convenience, and value matter. The DelSuites two-bedroom jr. suites have been designed with thoughtful amenities to provide guests with an exceptional stay.

Choosing Qwest as Your Retreat in Downtown Toronto

Located in one of the hottest neighbourhoods in downtown Toronto, the Qwest is a Tridel-built, 16-storey high-rise condominium with top-notch amenities. Its fully furnished one- and two-bedroom suites provide everything you need for a pleasant stay.

For those eager to explore Toronto’s nightlife and dining scene after business hours, Qwest is just steps away from some of the best restaurants, bars, and entertainment spots the city has to offer.

The building itself is also a treat, featuring luxurious amenities, such as a whirlpool, sauna, billiard room, rooftop terrace with BBQs, and a state-of-the-art fitness centre.

Additional perks of staying at the Qwest include:

  • Bi-weekly housekeeping service and 24/7 guest support to ensure your stay is stress-free
  • Underground, secured, assigned parking ($)
  • Flexible departure policy with the ability to extend reservations with 14 days’ notice

Tips to Prepare for Your Move to DelSuites

Moving into a new space, even if only temporary, can be exciting but also overwhelming. To help you get ready, here are just a few essential tips to make your move at our suites as seamless as possible:

  • Pack Smart: Our suites are already fully furnished, so no matter how long you’re moving for, bring only what you need. Avoid overpacking by sticking to versatile clothing, essential tech, and travel-friendly items.
  • Essentials for Your Furry Companion: We offer pet-friendly stays, so pack food, toys, and any other pet supplies they may need.
  • Label Your Luggage: If you’re travelling with multiple suitcases or boxes, label them clearly to make unpacking easier upon arrival.

  • Check the Weather: If you’re moving to Toronto during the colder months, be prepared with warm clothing, proper footwear, and winter accessories. In contrast, summers can get warm, so pack accordingly.

Our goal is to make every guest feel at home from day one. With thoughtfully designed accommodations, premium amenities, and a dedicated support team, your transition to Toronto living will be effortless.

Hollywood of the North: Your Guide to Filming in Toronto

February 26, 2025
filming in toronto

Good Will Hunting, Total Recall, Hairspray, and Suicide Squad—what do these blockbuster hits have in common? They were all filmed right here in Toronto.

Touted as “Hollywood North,” Toronto has become a hot spot for TV and film production. Its diverse architecture, vibrant neighbourhoods, and world-class film facilities make it a versatile backdrop for stories of all kinds.

If you’re considering Toronto for your next project, you’re in good company. But while finding the perfect location is exciting, managing accommodations for your crew can be challenging. DelSuites can simplify that process.

As Toronto’s trusted film industry housing source, we provide safe, comfortable, fully-furnished apartments tailored to production needs. Offering prime locations near filming hotspots and amenities that feel like home, DelSuites ensures you can focus on what matters most—creating great content.

Here’s everything you need to know when filming in Toronto. 

Why You Should Consider Filming in Toronto

Toronto is a filmmaker’s dream, with many filming locations to choose from. The city’s diverse architecture allows it to seamlessly double as New York, Chicago, or even European locales. Disguising Toronto as other cities happens a lot more than you think—that’s movie magic in action!

Ontario’s film tax credits add to its appeal, offering substantial savings to production budgets. Toronto also boasts world-class production facilities such as Pinewood Toronto Studios and Revival Film Studios, which cater to both small and large-scale productions.

For those who just love cinema in general, the film community in Toronto is thriving year-round. The city hosts numerous film festivals, including the world-renowned Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). These events attract filmmakers and film lovers alike, fostering a supportive and vibrant industry.

Toronto is the place to be for anyone considering a location that combines versatility, resources, and a passionate film culture.

Common Challenges for Film Production Crews

Producing a film in any new location comes with its own set of challenges. While Toronto offers incredible opportunities, it’s important to be prepared for the challenges that often come with filming in an unfamiliar environment.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Finding Suitable Accommodations: Coordinating housing for cast and crew, especially for extended shoots, can be a logistical headache. Many hotels lack the privacy, flexibility, and amenities needed for a home-away-from-home experience.
  • Managing Transportation and Traffic: Particularly during peak hours, the traffic can delay schedules and add stress. Getting cast and crew to multiple locations on time requires careful planning.
  • Navigating Local Regulations: Film permits, union rules, and city-specific guidelines can be overwhelming for those unfamiliar with the area. Missteps can cause delays or fines.
  • Maintaining Productivity: Long shooting schedules can take a toll on the crew. Without access to comfortable spaces for downtime, it’s easy to feel burned out.
  • Controlling Costs: Balancing quality with affordability is always a challenge. With so many moving parts, unexpected expenses can quickly add up.

While these challenges can seem stressful, they’re far from impossible to deal with. With the right preparation and support, filming just about anywhere can be an actually enjoyable experience.

How DelSuites Solves These Challenges

DelSuites is dedicated to making your film production in Toronto a smooth experience. As a trusted provider of quality furnished apartments across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), DelSuites has built a reputation for excellence.

Insider Tips for a Seamless Filming Experience in Toronto

Preparation is the key to success. Here are some tips you need to know for a successful production process:

  • Secure Permits Early: Work with the Toronto Film Office to obtain the necessary permits. Starting early helps you secure prime locations and avoid delays.
  • Plan for Traffic: Toronto’s traffic can be unpredictable. Schedule shoots outside peak hours or consider accommodations close to filming locations to save time.
  • Hire Local Talent: Toronto has a thriving film community with skilled professionals, from crew members to actors. Hiring locally can save costs and simplify logistics.
  • Scout Locations Thoroughly: Take advantage of Toronto’s diverse settings. From urban skylines to lush parks, the city offers something for every scene. A location scout can help you uncover hidden gems.

Global Mobility and the Employee Experience: Making Relocation Boost Business Success

December 18, 2024
global mobility

Employee relocation offers significant potential for both businesses and their teams. For companies, a strong global mobility program allows them to access talent around the world and strengthen their presence in key markets.

Relocating can also be a way for employees to grow professionally and personally, especially as trends like bleisure travel – blending business with leisure – have gained popularity. Many employees are eager for these unique experiences, seeing relocation as a way to expand their horizons while building their careers.

Yet, despite this potential, over 40% of businesses report no defined global mobility strategy. This powerful tool for business growth and employee engagement often gets underutilized.

Here’s our guide for you to get started. Now’s definitely the time for businesses to create mobility programs that support employees’ well-being and make relocation a rewarding experience.

What is a Global Mobility Program?

Global mobility is the structured relocation of employees to new locations – whether within the same country or across borders – to fulfill strategic business needs.

A global mobility program supports this process by handling every aspect of an employee’s transition, making it as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Some key elements of a global mobility program include:

  • Relocation Logistics: This covers the essentials of moving, from shipping personal belongings to coordinating travel. Companies often work with specialized relocation agencies to handle the details, making sure that employees and their families experience a seamless move.
  • Immigration and Legal Compliance: Navigating visas and work permits can be complicated. A well-managed program secures these essential documents and enforces compliance with local laws, which is crucial for protecting both the employee and the company from legal issues.
  • Financial and Tax Assistance: Moving can have significant financial impacts. Global mobility programs offer financial planning, tax equalization, and adjustments for cost-of-living differences. This gives employees peace of mind as they switch over to a new location.
  • Accommodation: Finding the right place to stay is essential for a smooth relocation. Furnished rentals are often provided as they offer more flexibility and comfort than hotel stays. These rentals come fully equipped with amenities like kitchens and laundry, helping employees feel more at home while keeping costs lower.

A complete global mobility program considers each of these factors to ease the transition for employees and their families, so they can focus on their new role and thrive in their new location.

Benefits of Global Mobility

Research shows that more than eight out of ten global HR decision-makers see relocation as a way to improve productivity. It’s no surprise then that many companies now use global mobility programs to retain top talent and support their most valued employees.

Among the benefits of employee relocation are:

  • Talent Development: Relocation offers employees a chance to gain valuable skills and experience in diverse settings. This can prepare them for future leadership roles.
  • Market Expansion: By moving skilled employees to key locations, businesses can enter new markets more effectively.
  • Employee Retention: Supporting employees with relocation opportunities demonstrates a company’s commitment to their growth, boosting loyalty.
  • Increased Productivity: Employees who feel supported in their new role and location are more likely to perform well, benefiting both the business and the individual.

When companies know how to welcome a relocated employee, the transition is smoother, making the employee feel more valued and ready to contribute.

Why the Employee Experience Matters in Global Mobility

Global mobility isn’t just about achieving business goals – it’s about caring for the employee’s journey, too. One of the common relocation mistakes that companies make is failing to help employees settle in once they arrive.

Without providing enough support, moving to a new location can feel overwhelming, which can lead to stress and impact their job performance.

Supporting employees’ mental health during a relocation is essential and seen as a major hurdle that companies need to tackle. Moving to a new culture, handling logistics, and balancing family needs can be a lot to manage.

Companies that offer mental health resources, like counselling and regular check-ins, help employees feel more at ease. It not only reduces stress but also makes a big difference to their overall experience.

By prioritizing employee experience in global mobility, companies improve not just employee satisfaction but also loyalty, productivity, and the overall success of the relocation.

Best Practices for Ensuring Employee Relocation Success

To ensure a smooth relocation, both the company and the employee need thoughtful planning and support.

Here are some best practices for a successful move:

  • Plan Ahead: Start the process early, giving employees enough time to prepare and adjust.
  • Provide Comprehensive Support: A strong relocation package should cover essentials like accommodation, family needs, and cultural training to make the transition as smooth as possible.
  • Communicate Clearly and Often: Keeping employees informed at every step reduces uncertainty and helps them feel more confident.
  • Support Cultural Integration: Resources like language classes and cultural workshops make it easier for employees to adapt to their new environment.
  • Regular Check-Ins: Staying in touch after the move shows support and helps address any issues that arise.

These practices create a positive relocation experience, making it easier for employees to adapt with ease.

Choose DelSuites for Seamless Employee Relocation

Now that we live in a more globally connected world, a thoughtful approach to employee mobility can redefine how businesses grow and engage talent.

By focusing on the employee experience and implementing a strong global mobility program, companies can be confident that relocations will lead to happier, more productive employees – and ultimately, business success.

At DelSuites, we understand the importance of a smooth transition when relocating employees. As one of Toronto’s most trusted providers of furnished rentals, we offer accommodations in vibrant neighbourhoods designed to make employees feel at home from the moment they arrive.
