The Shangri-La Hotel, Toronto will have its own signature restaurant, Bosk. Bosk, which means a small wooded area, will feature a décor of natural oak. The 80-seat restaurant will include a private dining room and an outdoor terrace to be open in the warmer months. Bosk includes a street-level bar with a private dining room that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Guests will be greeted at the entrance with a sculpture by contemporary Chinese artist Zhang Huan and an "urban living room" situated in a three-story atrium that will feature a specially made Fazioli piano. The 90-seat Lobby Lounge will serve food from mid-morning to late night.

Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts opened the Shangri-La Vancouver in January 2009.
