The Renaissance is built into the fabric of the Rogers Centre, the stadium that's home to the Blue Jays baseball team, the Toronto Argonauts football team and various concerts. The hotel's claim to fame is that 70 of the rooms overlook the stadium (with opening windows), as do the bar and restaurant. It's a great way to see a game, or to stare out at an eerily empty stadium on non-game days. But be warned: the great views work both ways: once, the entire stadium watched an amorous couple getting down to business. The classy suites are split level, with comfortable lounges and marbled bathrooms.
