The Hazelton Hotel Introduces its Newest Amenity: The Art Concierge

TORONTO, June 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hazelton Hotel, Toronto's ultimate luxury property, announces its newest amenity: the art concierge.

The art concierge will act as an educational resource for guests and the general public regarding the surrounding Toronto art community; the Bloor-Yorkville neighborhood alone is home to nearly 40 art dealers and galleries.  The art concierge will also be a go-to source for the hotel's extensive contemporary Canadian art collection. Visitors to www.thehazeltonhotel.com can interact with the art concierge via a "Live Chat" function.

"With increased recognition of Toronto as one of North America's leading fine art centers, it was critical to provide community leadership with the creation of the art concierge," said David Mounteer, general manager of The Hazelton. "With a significant in-house collection, we needed to have the necessary expertise to answer guests' questions regarding our collection, as well as galleries and museums in our community."
