If you’re drawn to the idea of strutting through après-ski without the exertion of hitting the slopes, Mt. Harriet is your new winter go-to. Located at the summit of 1 Hotel Toronto, Mt. Harriet promises to make your winter more fashionable, more delicious, and, ultimately, more bearable, through fabulous food, drinks, views and the city’s most stylish visitors.
Sexy and sophisticated, Harriet’s Rooftop is 1 Hotel Toronto’s lively 16th-floor restaurant and lounge. Reimagined until February 26th, Mt. Harriet is sporting a new look and feel that brings everyone’s favourite wintery pastime to the fore. Awash in natural tones and finishes year-round, the space has had a chalet-style upgrade to prep for winter. Against a backdrop of the city skyline, guests will find vintage skis, faux fur throws, evergreens, roaring fires and disco balls artfully arranged to create a look best described as “cabin chic.”
Beyond the makeover, new tequila-spiked libations and light bites also add to the après-ski feel. Guests are invited to sip on the Blood Orange Winter Marg, spiced hot chocolate dubbed the Keep Me Warm, and the T&T, or Tromba Toddy, a warm, citrusy sipper with honey and chamomile, fortified with Tromba Reposado, and bergamot liqueur. Enjoying après en masse? There's nothing quite like downing shots from a shotski to strengthen the bond between friends.
Alongside, guests can refuel with Three Cheese Melts, oozing with Swiss, aged Cheddar and mimolette, and charcuterie boards overflowing with locally-sourced cheeses, meats, house preserves and pickles.
Head to the peak for Ski Club Sunday and enjoy après-ski inspired brunch, complete with unique beverage and brunch offerings, and a soundtrack provided by DJ Lincoln Baio. Brunch for two includes a bottle of Prosecco, juice and a brunch box brimming with Oyako waffles with fried chicken and quail egg, yuzu mushroom boas, wagyu steak and eggs, mini pastries, Japanese custard pudding, and fruit.
For an authentic après-ski experience you can enjoy without ever leaving the city — or having to gripe about the snow conditions — make Mt. Harriet's your winter destination.
