The list represents the top one percent of the nearly 80,000 properties offered by Expedia Worldwide

TORONTO – Cosmopolitan Toronto Hotel, this stylish lifestyle hotel has been nominated by Expedia travelers as one of the top one percent of nearly 80,000 properties offered by Expedia.

The Expedia Select list is formulated using hundreds of thousands of Traveler Opinions - reviews submitted by Expedia customers after they complete their stay with a hotel they booked on Expedia.com.
Expedia has captured the experiences of millions of hotel guests, and combined them with a value rating and local destination expertise to help travelers identify the best hotels in the world.  One characteristic all Insiders' Select hotels have in common is that they have been recognized by Expedia travelers for consistently delivering excellent service, a great overall experience and a notable value.

“This recognition by Expedia customers is a great honour for the Cosmopolitan Toronto. To be named as one of the top one percent of nearly 80,000 properties acknowledges that the Cosmopolitan Toronto offers unmatched service and an extraordinary hotel experience.  We are very proud to have achieved this recognition”, said David Zaltzman, CEO of Skyline Boutique Hotels and Resorts.

This is not the first prestigious nomination for the Cosmopolitan Toronto as the hotel was named one of the world’s hottest new hotels in the Conde Nast Traveller Hot List 2006 – The Very Best New Hotels in the World.  This list featured 60 hotels and the Cosmopolitan Toronto was the only Canadian hotel included.
