November 30, 2018

The KegAs a guest of DelSuites, we want to make your stay in Toronto as easy and enjoyable as possible.  And what better way to do that, than to offer you a great deal on a delicious dinner at The Keg?

We have teamed up with Canadian luxury steakhouse The Keg to offer all of our guests 20% off all food at two Toronto locations (North York and Midtown Toronto). That means you can treat yourself to succulent, juicy steak, artisanal cocktails and other great dishes – for less.  If you arrive at your DelSuites accommodation feeling hungry, we highly recommend that you make your way down to this restaurant – you’ll get a very warm welcome along with the great discount!

What Is The Keg?

If you’re not from Canada and therefore not familiar with The Keg, you’re in for a treat.

Founded in 1971 in North Vancouver, this steakhouse chain has 160 locations all over Canada (as well as locations in five American states). They are known for offering an upscale dining experience and are often built within beautiful restored and refurbished historic properties.

What can you expect from the food at The Keg? Well, first of all – the steaks are their pride and joy.

The KegThey only serve the finest cuts of meat, aged for tenderness and seasoned with a unique blend of spices. You’ll have a choice of cuts, from the grilled top sirloin to the bacon-wrapped filet mignon to the New York striploin. It’s obvious that a lot of tender loving care goes into preparing these steaks, and you can taste the difference. f seafood is more your thing, you can feast on a big juicy lobster, or some spicy

Cajun shrimp.

Not into steak or seafood? They also do some pretty amazing ribs – doused in house-made BBQ sauce and served with cabbage slaw and crisp, chunky Keg fries. The menu also features classic cocktails, an array of appetizers, succulent seafood and a dazzling wine list. Plus, you can finish the meal with something sweet – like a Billy Miner Pie, featuring mocha ice cream on a chocolate crust with gooey hot fudge sa

uce, caramel and almonds.

(Are you drooling already? I know I am. )

It’s a popular spot for getting together with friends, celebrating with family members or impressing your sweetheart on a date night.

The LocationsThe Keg

This special offer of 20% off all food at The Keg is available for guests staying at our Midtown or North York locations. The discount is applicable at the North York or Yonge and Eglinton locations of The Keg – and only for the duration of your stay. It’s a chance for you to discover one of Canada’s favourite restaurants during your visit to Toronto.

So, whether it’s an anniversary meal, a celebration of a promotion, a family dinner or a special meal out “just because” – we hope you enjoy The Keg!

DelSuites Turns 20DelSuites Turns 20!

On the year DelSuites launched, Titanic was dominating at the Oscars, the first Apple iMac was released, the last episode of “Seinfeld” aired, and Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were still a thing.

Crazy, huh?

Looking back over the years, we are incredibly grateful for all of the wonderful guests and clients we have been able to work with. It’s a thrill DelSuites turns 20 and to be able to be part of the serviced apartment industry in Toronto and we’ve learned so much – so thank you.

DelSuites Turns 20

Oakwood Worldwide 2017 Partner Award

We’re also honoured by the awards that we have received over the last few years, including:

  • Oakwood Worldwide 2017 Partner Award – DelSuites had the highest guest satisfaction across their internal and client surveys. ‘DelSuites always works diligently to serve our guests and their Guest Services jumps on the service issues if they arise. They are all around great suppliers to work with’ – Oakwood Worldwide Employee.
  • TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence (5 years running!)
  • CHPA (Best Green Progress) 2017 – The Best Green Progress Award recognizes a company exemplifying environmental responsibility and social performance through policies, plans and activities.

During the last 20 years, we’ve grown to become the largest serviced housing provider in Toronto with over 450 suites throughout the Greater Toronto Area. We are part of the Tridel Group of Companies, Canada’s leader in condo living.

Not bad for a 20 year old!

What Will the Future Bring?

Like many 20 year olds out there, we feel like this is the beginning of our story and we are just getting started.
Here’s what you can expect from us at DelSuites in the future:

Support for Causes We Believe In

DelSuites Turns 20

Toronto Humane Society

From donating towels and linens to Anguilla to support hurricane relief efforts, to providing blankets and bed sheets for animals at the Toronto Humane Society, to donating linens and towels to a primary school in Jamaica, we have always made the effort to support causes that are close to our hearts. We will continue in the future, as this is really important to our company values.

Commitment to Sustainability

We will continue to care about the environment. In 2017, we combined offices with our sister company Del Condominium Rentals and underwent office renovations at Tridel’s Head Office – to ensure that our working environment is sustainable as possible. We cut down our paper consumption by 75%, switched to LED light bulbs, implemented Eco Pens and made many other tweaks to reduce our carbon footprint.

Improving Customer Satisfaction

Our customers are really important to us, so we are always working to improve our customer satisfaction. We do this in a number of ways, including our Preventative Maintenance program that inspects suites regularly to keep them in tip-top shape. We’ve also launched our Guest Appreciation Program, where we thank our guests with a thoughtful gift and let them know how much we appreciate their business.

Cheers to another 20 years!

DeSuites Turns 20We are always looking to the future and thinking about how we can be the best company we can be… so we are pretty excited to see what the future will bring! Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning, or we have just met… we send a sincere “Thank You” your way. We couldn’t do it without you!

Corporate Housing Accommodation Trends

February 15, 2018

According to Mary Ann Passicorporate housing, the CEO of the Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA), more and more employers are placing their employees in residential housing rather than in a permanent home. This reflects the increase in project based assignments rather than permanent relocations. These short term relocations can last from anywhere from one month to a year.

Due to the increase in demand, corporate housing has become one of the hottest trends on the market and many providers are offering fully furnished residences available for month or longer.  Here are some of the reasons why corporate housing is becoming one of the best choices of places to stay.

Corporate Housing – Work/Life Balance

Millennials who are traveling for work are looking for a modern and convenient place to stay that will offer them the right work/life balance. They are seeking accommodation that offers the amenities that make them feel at home, with services such as WiFi, entertainment space, a full kitchen so that they can self-cater and much more.Corporate Housing

Corporate housing solutions offer an experience that is more like an apartment than a hotel room so that corporate travelers feel like they are enjoying the comforts of home.

Amenities

These business travelers also desire convenience within the building itself. They are seeking buildings with convenient amenities, such as security, secured parking, gyms, laundry and other services. WiFi is incredibly important, as they need to stay connected both for work and pleasure.

Safety measures are also a priority, which is why DelSuites has an underground secured parking facility, ensuite alarm systems and 24 hour security. Plus, a high quality housekeeping and maintenance service is also desirable.

Community

Many millennial business travelers seek social activity and interaction as part of their downtime, which is why corporate housing providers are starting to create shared spaces that are designed to Corporate housingcreate community and bring guests together.

For example, this could include barbeque areas, coffee shops, bars, breakfast tables, outdoor terraces and other areas where guests can interact with each other. This is another great way that modern corporate housing allows guests to maintain a good work/life balance.

Relationships

Another advantage of this style of housing is that the housing provider can build a long term beneficial relationship with the company. This makes things more convenient for the company, especially when they need to relocate several employees to an area.

Also, this means that employers will get to know who they are booking with and they can rest assured that they have proper insurance coverage and the exclusive use of the property. This trust is very important and can make a big difference.

These are just a few of the aspects of corporate housing that are making it one of the hottest accommodation trends at the moment.

Benefits of Building Amenities

December 1, 2017

Building AmenitiesStaying in a furnished apartment offers a lot of advantages over a hotel stay, including providing more space to relax, a kitchen for self catering and laundry facilities. However, the features within the apartment aren’t the only advantages. There are also great building amenities that make your stay so much more enjoyable.

Let’s take a look at some of the benefits that building amenities provide:

Building Amenities – Fitness Centre

Regular exercise has a number of health benefits, including improved sleep, increased alertness, improved immune system function, improved mood. Plus, staying active also helps you to manage your weight and decreases your risk of a wide range of diseases.

Having a fitness centre right on the premises of your furnished apartment offers you the benefit of being able to get your workout in without having to go far. Even if the weather is dire outside, you can still burn calories with state of the art equipment and develop your physique with the weights.

24 Hour SecurityBuilding Amenities

Staying in a furnished apartment with 24 hour security means that you’ll be able to rest easy, knowing that the only people who enter the property are the ones who are supposed to be there.  The trained, professional security staff at every building are good at their job and will make you feel safe and right at home.

Party Rooms

What if you want to host an event during your stay, but you don’t have enough space for everyone in your apartment? Or, you would rather cater in a setting away from your accommodation, leaving you the option for a quiet place of respite during the festivities?
These rooms provide a great environment for birthday parties, family reunions and any other get-to-together that you may want to arrange while you are in Toronto.

Some buildings even offer theatre rBuilding Amenitiesooms, which can be booked for your own private movie screenings.

Secured Parking

Another beneficial amenity furnished apartments in Toronto offers is secured parking. Rather than leaving your car exposed to the elements, it will be kept safe and sound in the underground, secured parking garage. You won’t have to worry about your car or risk it being damaged.

This is a huge advantage in the chilly Toronto winters, as it will prevent the Canadian cold from taking its toll on your vehicle and also allow you to go straight from your furnished apartment to your car without having to brave the snow.

Great Building Amenities Make for a Pleasant Stay

These are just a few examples of the benefits offered by the building amenities available in Toronto. It’s not just about what’s in the apartment, it’s also about what the building has to offer and how it will make your stay more comfortable.
