Home To Holiday Magic
This is where the city has gathered for its most magical holiday moments. Where holiday toasts have echoed through the lobby under twinkling lights. Where families started traditions that now span four generations.
From our grand lobby adorned with towering trees to intimate evenings unwinding by the fireplace on Fairmont Gold, every corner of our hotel radiates warmth and wonder this holiday season. Indulge in festive afternoon tea, savour holiday favourites, and create lasting memories in the heart of the city.
Whether you are celebrating with family, hosting festive gatherings, or seeking a winter escape, Fairmont Royal York transforms the holidays into an unforgettable experience, steeped in the grandeur and tradition of the season. Join us this festive season and discover why generations have chosen to celebrate their most cherished holiday traditions with us, year after year.
Annual Tree Lighting
Join us when our grand lobby transforms into a scene of pure holiday wonder. Carolers fill the air with song, live music lends the evening its sparkle, and Santa himself arrives to greet the crowd — all in the moments before thousands of twinkling lights bring our grand tree to brilliant life.
