Our Design Story

At first glance, Nobu Hotel Toronto showcases the iconic brick façade of the original Pilkington Glass Factory building. Inside, quintessential Nobu design comes alive through the work of Canadian interior design firm Studio Munge. This blend of Japanese minimalism with local influences is highlighted by a captivating art installation by Dennis Lin, drawing inspiration from the Canadian landscape and the delicate artistry of Tsuchime Japanese metalwork.
