Markham Hotels & Motels
The city of Markham, Ontario is situated north of Toronto and provides both locals and those visiting the Greater Toronto Area with a good choice of mid-range hotels and motels. The city is host to service-sector and hi-tech industry businesses and a handful of multi-national companies have their Canadian headquarters in the area. Indeed, the Markham area has sometimes been referred to as ‘Silicon Valley North’.
Consequently, it is well equipped with accommodation options that include modern and sophisticated conference facilities that can host hundreds of delegates as well as places to hold smaller business meetings. Its hotels feature a range of amenities that mean leisure visitors looking to stay close to Toronto and the surrounding area but away from the city centre will also feel well catered for. Markham is just a short 37 km (23 mi) from downtown Toronto and only 46 km (29 mi) to the northeast of the main international airport servicing the region, Toronto Pearson International Airport.
HOTELS WITH CONFERENCE FACILITIES
A dozen or so hotels are dotted around Highway 407—the express toll route—and the junction with the Don Valley Parkway. These accommodation options provide a range of places for busy executives and business travellers who are meeting with clients, learning the latest strategies and company protocols, or enjoying training and motivational conferences with colleagues to rest and rejuvenate.
Companies hosting conventions can provide their employees or delegates with facilities such as heated indoor swimming pools, hot tubs, state-of-the-art health and fitness centres, on-site restaurants, lounges and bars and even an outdoor putting green at one mid-range chain hotel option. Those staying in the business-oriented options can avail themselves of business centres with 24-hour access and personal office space with wireless Internet access in their rooms or suites.
Both business visitors and those looking for a place to host social events like weddings or celebratory parties will find a couple of hotels with ballroom facilities that can cater to over a hundred guests. Visitors with weary bodies, tired minds and aching muscles will also be able to indulge themselves in the treatments of a full-service beauty and massage spa at the large Hilton Suites Markham Conference Centre, which has accommodations for almost 500 guests.
No matter the reason or preference, the lodging choices in the Markham area can accommodate well over a thousand guests in suites, standard and deluxe rooms, so visitors have plenty of choices when making a decision about where to stay.
