43°39′53″N 79°23′13″W / 43.664770°N 79.386974°WSutton Place was a hotel and apartment building in Toronto, Ontario that operated from 1967 to 2012. Named after the Surrey manor house Sutton Place, the building was located at the intersection of Bay Street and Wellesley Street. Floors 1-10 served as the hotel, floors 11-32 as private apartments, and on the 33rd floor was a lounge called Stop 33, which offered panoramic views of the city.
The 32-storey hotel (which excluded the number 13 in its count) was designed by Webb Zerafa and Menkès in a brutalist style, and at the time of its completion was the tallest building in Toronto north of Queen Street. Sutton Place hosted dignitaries and celebrities regularly.
After 45 years of operations, the hotel closed in June 2012. Beginning in 2014, the building was stripped to its skeleton and rebuilt as a condominium tower called The Britt, which opened in 2019.
