Top Tips for Business Travel in Toronto: Stay Smart, Stay Comfortable

November 26, 2025

You’re in Toronto for a series of meetings, and time is tight. You still want a feel for the city’s vibrant neighbourhoods while keeping work on track. On a work trip, you need more than a room: space to work, cook, and sleep well. Within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), DelSuites meets this need.

DelSuites offers a variety of furnished suites strategically located in key business areas, fully equipped for business travellers. And once you step outside, you’ll be immediately connected to the energy of Toronto. A short commute, a dedicated workspace, and a quiet place to rest make your stay productive and comfortable.

Use these practical tips to stay comfortable, productive, and on time during your Toronto business trip.

1. Choose Your Ideal Home Away From Home

Traditional hotels often fall short for business travellers, especially on longer trips. Rooms can feel cramped, and meals are limited to room service or hotel restaurants. There’s rarely room to work comfortably.

For longer trips, furnished apartments often work better than hotels. They offer flexibility and amenities designed for extended stays. The rentals at DelSuites, for instance, have fully equipped kitchens, in-suite laundry, dedicated work areas, and living spaces. You’re also put close to major business districts for ideal networking while being connected to local communities.

With a furnished rental, you get a home base that balances productivity and comfort, so you instantly feel settled from the moment you arrive.

2. Practice Sustainable Travel

Sustainable travel means making choices that reduce environmental impact while still enjoying the trip, and we’re all becoming increasingly conscious of this. In fact, 43% of travellers say they would even pay more for eco-friendly options.

Here are a few tips for travelling sustainably:

Choose eco-conscious accommodations: Furnished rentals often use smart tech to reduce energy and water waste. With lower rates and reduced daily expenses, you also get cost savings compared to a hotel.
Cook your own meals: Using in-suite kitchens reduces packaging waste and frequent restaurant visits.
Combine errands and travel: Walking, biking, or using public transit lowers emissions.
Pack light: Less luggage means less fuel use on transport.
Be mindful of your energy and water consumption: Turn off lights, heating, and cooling when not in use, and use laundry efficiently.

Small steps like these make a big difference, even more when we collectively make the effort.

3. Get to Know the Canadian Business Culture

Every country has its own approach to work, and Canada’s business culture is no exception.

Some general things to keep in mind for smooth business interactions when in Canada:

- Punctuality matters: Arriving on time shows respect for others’ schedules.
- Polite and professional communication: Canadians value direct but courteous exchanges, both in meetings and emails.

Mind the business hours: Most businesses operate from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Mornings are often considered the best time for setting appointments.

Neighbourhood choice: Staying near business districts like the Financial District or Bay Street Corridor keeps you close to meetings, so you arrive on time.

Do your homework before meetings. Knowing these cultural nuances makes it easier to build trust, handle meetings with confidence, and leave a positive impression.

4. Get Around Without Stress

Toronto has a well-connected and efficient transportation system. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) offers subway, streetcar, and bus services that reach most locations within the metro.

Other options include ride-sharing services, taxis, and bike rentals for quicker or more flexible travel. Walking is convenient in the city’s many pedestrian-friendly neighbourhoods, and gives you a chance to explore while commuting.

From local food to parks and shops, walking or taking short trips allows you to enjoy the city after business hours.

5. Balance Work and Leisure

More and more business travellers are turning their work trips into mini getaways, a trend called bleisure travel.

There’s no shortage of things to do in Toronto once work is done:

Local attractions: Visit the CN Tower, Ripley’s Aquarium, or stroll along Harbourfront for iconic city experiences.
Dining: Visit the city’s diverse neighbourhoods, such as King West, Queen Street West, and Chinatown, for an assortment of restaurants, cafes, and food markets.
Art and culture: Check out the Art Gallery of Ontario, Royal Ontario Museum, or smaller galleries and studios to take in Toronto’s creative side.
Festivals and events: Toronto hosts events year-round, from film festivals to food fairs and live performances.
Nightlife: Bars, lounges, and live music venues in the Entertainment District are perfect for unwinding after a busy day.
Other activities: Discover hidden gems by visiting parks, hiking trails, or exploring eclectic shopping streets.

Take a moment to wander. Balancing work and leisure lets you recharge while still making progress on your business goals.

6. Plan Ahead for Your Trip

Preparation is always key. Keep in mind these tips for planning your upcoming Toronto business trip:

Book accommodations early: Secure furnished suites or apartments near business districts to reduce commuting time.
Pack strategically: Bring professional attire for meetings and casual clothing for after-work activities. Don’t forget essentials like chargers, adapters, and travel documents.
Schedule wisely: Plan your meetings and appointments to allow time for rest or going around the city.
Research local logistics: Learn about Toronto’s public transit, ride-sharing, and nearby restaurants to save time on arrival.
Prepare your work tools: Ensure that your laptops, presentation materials, and any necessary software are ready to go.
Arrival Setup: Set up an eSIM and pick up a PRESTO card so connectivity and transit are ready before your first meeting.

A little preparation goes a long way. Planning ahead can save you from unwanted (and avoidable) travel stress.

Sustainability in Hospitality: How Furnished Suites Reduce Your Travel Footprint

November 12, 2025

Sustainable travel means making choices that lower your impact on the environment while still enjoying the trip. And nowadays, it’s no longer just a trend, with more than three-quarters of travellers wanting to travel in ways that are better for the planet.

Making eco-friendly choices can also enhance your trip. For business travellers, this can mean accommodations that are more flexible and commute-friendly than standard hotels. Friends and families benefit as well, enjoying home-like amenities such as in-suite laundry and kitchens.

One way to travel greener is by choosing furnished suites, like those offered by DelSuites across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), that let guests live sustainably without giving up convenience or comfort.

In this article, we’ll look at how furnished suites help you minimize your travel footprint, as well as practical ways to keep your stay sustainable.

The Environmental Impact of Traditional Hotel Stays

Traditional hotels are still a go-to for most travellers, but they come with a hidden cost to the environment. It’s estimated that hotels worldwide produce emissions equal to about 45.7 million homes.

These are the common culprits that contribute to a hotel’s environmental impact:

Energy consumption: Hotels run 24/7, keeping lights on, heating or cooling rooms, and powering appliances. Large-scale laundry services and constant elevator use add even more energy demand.
Water usage: Daily cleaning, showers, and pools consume huge amounts of water. Many hotels use more water per guest than a household would in a month.
Waste generation: Single-use toiletries, packaging, and disposable items create significant waste. Food waste from buffets and room service also adds up.
Resource usage: Hotels require constant restocking of linens, furniture, and amenities. Manufacturing and transporting these items further increase their impact on the environment.

Over time, these impacts accumulate, making hotels a major driver of emissions and resource use in the travel industry. Choosing alternatives that use fewer resources can help travellers reduce their footprint while still maintaining a comfortable and practical stay.

How Furnished Suites Contribute to Sustainable Travel

Furnished suites are fully equipped accommodations that are available for longer stays. They offer living spaces with a kitchen and dining room, bathrooms, laundry, and bedrooms.

While choosing a furnished suite might seem like a small decision, opting for accommodations that support sustainability is actually a meaningful one.

Here’s how furnished suites support a greener way to travel:

Energy efficiency: Suites often include energy-saving appliances and smart thermostats. Guests control lighting, heating, and cooling, which reduces energy use compared with 24/7 hotel operations.
Waste reduction: Furnished suites provide reusable kitchenware, linens, and toiletries. Guests can cook meals at home and avoid single-use items from restaurants or hotels.
Water conservation: Longer stays mean fewer laundry cycles and less daily cleaning. Many suites include water-saving fixtures that lower overall water consumption.
Extended stays: Longer bookings reduce the need for multiple trips to different hotels, cutting transportation emissions and resource use over time.

Business travellers see the benefits right away. Preparing meals and using in-suite laundry reduces both cost and environmental impact. Meanwhile, families save on single-use products and energy-intensive hotel services.

Even casual vacationers gain sustainability perks. Living in a furnished suite, often located in convenient locations, lets you live more like a local. You shop at nearby stores, support neighbourhood businesses, and move around the city like a resident, reducing your reliance on hotel amenities.

DelSuites: A Commitment to Sustainable Hospitality

DelSuites provides fully furnished accommodations across Toronto. Beyond comfort, we’ve always prioritized being environmentally responsible.

In 2017, DelSuites received the Best Green Progress Award from the Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA). This annual worldwide award recognizes one company that shows outstanding commitment to environmental responsibility and social performance. DelSuites was the first Canadian company to earn this honour.

Here’s how DelSuites minimizes environmental impact:

Many of our properties use smart technologies and systems to lower electricity consumption.
Low-flow fixtures and water-efficient systems reduce water use throughout guest stays.
Recycling programs and reusable amenities help cut down waste.
Longer bookings reduce travel frequency.

Sustainability is a continuous focus for DelSuites. One example is our recent addition, The Well, which is an urban development that combines high-end condos, retail, and office spaces in one vibrant community.

The Well has achieved LEED® Platinum Certification, the highest rating for green building practices. Smart energy solutions for cooling, high-efficiency heating, and efficient water management make this a sustainable choice for residents and guests alike.

Through conscious design and ongoing initiatives, DelSuites shows that eco-friendly practices can coexist with comfort, convenience, and a high-quality guest experience.

Simple Tips for Eco-Conscious Travel

Remember that sustainability starts with each of us.

Here are some tips to travel more sustainably:

Choose eco-friendly accommodations: Look for furnished suites or properties with energy-efficient systems. Longer stays in one place reduce energy and resource use.
Use public transport or walk: Skip taxis whenever possible. Buses, trains, and bikes lower emissions and let you see the city up close.
Pack light: Carrying only what you need reduces fuel use in transportation and makes moving around easier.
Reduce single-use items: Bring a reusable water bottle, utensils, and a shopping bag. Avoid disposable items that end up in landfills.
Cook or eat locally: Using a suite’s kitchen or supporting local restaurants lowers packaging waste and benefits the community.
Be mindful of your energy and water consumption: Turn off the lights, heating, and cooling when you leave your room. Try avoiding overly long showers when you can and combine laundry loads to save water and energy.

Even small adjustments like these can reduce your travel footprint and make your journey more responsible.

Choose DelSuites: Sustainable Stays Start Here

Sustainable travel doesn’t have to be complicated. Furnished suites offer practical solutions for travellers, helping you make small changes that collectively create a positive impact on the environment.

Planning a trip to Toronto? Make DelSuites your eco-friendly choice of stay. In addition to our award-winning environmentally conscious practices, DelSuites offers fully furnished apartments designed for comfort and convenience.

With suites available throughout the area, each apartment will place you in a strategic location surrounded by restaurants, shops, and local favourites. Kitchens, laundry facilities, and living spaces give you the freedom to live like a local while maintaining a greener lifestyle.

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.

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.

24/7 guest services and maintenance support: Real people (no robots here) are always ready to help, day or night.

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.

DelSuites All Across Toronto + New Ones

With fully furnished and professionally serviced condominiums across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), you’ll always find a DelSuites accommodation that’s close to where you need to be.

Each suite is professionally decorated, meticulously maintained, and located within Tridel-built residences featuring top-tier recreational facilities.
