The Omni King Edward Hotel fondly referred to as “The King Eddy,“ was the first luxury hotel ever opened in Toronto. It was built over a century ago in 1903 and has been beautifully maintained and renovated ever since. To this day, The King Edward Hotel, which has close proximity to the financial, entertainment, and shopping district, is still one of the most prestigious hotels that the city has to offer.
Over the years, the hotel has been recognized for many acclamations, such as “Highest in Guest Satisfaction Among Upper-Upscale Hotel Chains“ from J.D. Power in 2015. Most recently, the hotel has won the titles of “Hotel Wedding Venue of the Year 2019“ from Weddingbells magazine, and also “OpenTable Diner's Choice 2019“. These awards are largely thanks to the culinary team at The Omni King Edward, lead by Executive Chef Daniel Schick.
Originally from Switzerland, Chef Schick worked at several prestigious hotels before first coming to Canada in 1984. He joined the culinary team at The Omni King Edward Hotel in 1992 as Sous Chef and has owned the role of Executive Chef since 2001.
Chef Schick is responsible for creating hotel's catering, conference and room service menus and he also supervises all banquets and both dining locations in the hotel - Consort Bar and Victoria's Restaurant. With such a high reputation at stake, Chef Shick made it clear that he only works with the best, which is why he has been working with RATIONAL since 1995.
