National Bank Open Montreal and Toronto are alternated as the host cities for this tennis tournament. Lucky for Torontonians, the women are in town this year, playing at Sobeys Stadium, in the north end of Toronto, from August 1–13.

If you happen to be in town during that time, it’s worth checking out the tournament.

    Visitors planning a weekend filled with sports in Toronto will find 1 Hotel Toronto to be the ideal balance between calm and accessibility. The hotel is located just a few minutes away from the Coca-Cola Coliseum and feels removed from downtown, but still close to all the action. The lobby is what I love most about the hotel: it’s warm, lush and anchored in natural wood. There are cozy corners to work, enjoy cocktails or catch up with friends prior to heading out to a game.

    Nuit Regular chef, Kiin The restaurant offers one of the finest Thai dining experiences available in the city. Perfect for a celebratory post-game dinner, Kiin feels like having a pretty older sister—polished, composed, and effortlessly put together. It’s soft and earthy inside, with Royal Thai–inspired dishes like Chor Muang (jasmine flower dumplings) and Gaeng Chuchee Tauhu (vegan tofu chuchee curry) that are almost too beautiful to eat. The menu has always impressed me, even though I first visited the restaurant six years ago. I recently took my mom for her birthday, and we opted for the tasting menu—the whole experience felt almost ethereal.
