Adelaide hotel (was the Trump hotel before)

likefunny

The Sheraton is surprisingly nice and, because of the size, gives out upgrades with surprising regularity

like

Sheraton or Westin Harbor Castle (not the other Westin which is in a crappy location). There is also “the Adelaide hotel” which was until this summer the trump Toronto. Took some sort of genius to lose a tonne of money in Toronto where real estate has been going up 20% annually the last five years. Anyway, that’s a decent option but is right in the middle of the financial district and not the greatest location if you’re here on a weekend.

Also, true story, most of the funding for the trump Toronto hotel came from a Russian guy.

That said, I almost always stayed at the Ritz - can’t beat heated bathroom floors

like

I stayed at the Sheraton for 6 months last year. Good location, nice lounge, decent gym.

I’ve also stayed at the Westin Harbor for a few weeks. The location in nice during summer (right next to the waterfront), but the rooms look a bit older than at the Sheraton IMO.

Avoid the Westin Prince at all costs, it’s in the middle of nowhere.

like

Sheraton Queen street was my home for over a year. They recently went through a makeover. Nice staff, good location, many restaurants within walking distance.

Westin harbor is ok if you want SPG. Rather just give it up and stay at the Ritz though - it’s a good one.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
