The Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel is a Sheraton hotel in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the second-tallest all-hotel building in Toronto, after the Delta Toronto Hotel.
When it opened in 1972 with 1450 rooms, it was the second-largest hotel in Toronto, behind only the Royal York Hotel. The hotel was originally a joint venture with the Four Seasons chain and was named the Four Seasons Sheraton Hotel. That connection was severed in 1976, when Four Seasons founder Issy Sharp sold his 49 percent share in the hotel.
The hotel consists of three connected buildings located between Queen, York, and Richmond streets: the three-floor entrance, the eleven-floor building on Richmond Street, and the main building, which has 43 floors and faces Queen Street. The project was developed by John B. Parkin Associates. The inner yard contains a landscaped garden with a waterfall, which was designed by a Canadian architect, J. Austin Floyd.
The hotel has conference facilities; for example, it was used to host the 1999 annual meeting of the Organization of American Historians. The hotel lobby serves as one of the nodes of the PATH network of pedestrian tunnels. In 2017, it was sold to Brookfield Asset Management for $335 million.
The transmitter for CIRR-FM is located atop the hotel.
