It feels like hotels are popping up everywhere this year.

From the Ex'snewly opened Hotel Xto Blue Jay Way's much-anticipatedBisha Hotel和马卡姆sprawling new Marriott, developers are building all sorts of options for tourists to stay while they check outall Toronto has to offerthis summer.

The new Kimpton Saint George boutique hotel is a pet-friendly hotel chain from San Francisco.

Now it seemsthe Annex当t升温he newest tourist hotspot, with two new boutique hotels newly arrived or in the works on this little stretch of Bloor West.

To start off,Kimpton Saint Georgejust opened to the public two weeks ago, transforming the old Holiday Inn by St. George station intothe first Toronto outpostof the swanky San-Francisco-based hotel chain.

The lobby at Kimpton is called "the living room".

The chic new lodging at 280 Bloor Street West features custom-made decor fromMason Studioand an ultra-comfy lounge where you can feel at home (if you lived in a really nice, expensive house).

Kimpton is also pet-friendly, meaning you can bring your spoiled little pupper with you into the lobby (it's called the "living room") and up into your one-bedroom, which starts at around $300 a night.

Meanwhile, just a ten minute walk west of Kimpton, another boutique hotel calledThe Annex(makes sense) is in the works.

Annex Hotel has taken over the same building that once housed the arcade bar Tilt.

While it's unclear exactly when this project will be complete, the pending hotel at 296 Brunswick has previously received tons of negative criticism against landlords who allegedlyevicted the popular arcade bar Tiltfrom the property, along with 15 residents living in the building.

The new landlord Andrew Peek, a former director at Shopify, issueda comprehensive rebuttalto those allegations. Judging by the permit signs and machinery outside the old Tilt building, construction is still underway.

Construction on Annex Hotel continues.

When the building is done, the area can expect to have a new 24-room boutique hotel where guests will have walking access to brunch atFuture Bistro,廉价的晚宴El Furnitureand a whole slew of other fun Annex-ythings to do.
