A swanky 007 deal at the Trump Toronto; hey, who doesn't want a Bentley?

Full marks to the folks at Trump Toronto for their new "Shaken, Not Stirred: Bond on Bay" package.

The hotel, formally called Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto doncha know, is taking advantage of the new James Bond Skyfall movie and the Designing 007 show in Toronto by offering what it called the "ultimate Bond-lover's package that is lavish enough for 007 himself."

Here's the, um, deal: For $17,007 you get the following:

- A two-night stay in a "sumptuous" Trump Executive 30th floor suite; advertised as "the highest views in the city," plus personal Trump Attache service.

- Access to a Continental Bentley GT for the duration of your stay (hey, access for early check-in!)

- Breakfast, lunch and dinner for two of you with Champagne at STOCK Restaurant/Bar for your entire stay.

- Admission for two to the exhibition "Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style" and two movie passes to a Bond film at the TIFF Bell Lightbox, plus return limo service.

- You get to keep a designer cocktail dress and Hugo Boss tuxedo, complete with a private fitting courtesy of The Bay.

- Spa experience at Quartz Crystal Spa, including a couples massage, hair and makeup for her and manicure for him.

- Martini "shaken not stirred" lessons at Suits Lobby Lounge.

Oh, there's also "bespoke chocolate," which sounds silly to me, and a complimentary fruit and cigar box.

How do you like them apples? All for $17,0007.

Starwood Preferred Guests members can book hotels today and tomorrow and get 25 per cent savings on previously discounted rates for arrivals Thursday to Saturday between Nov. 8 and Jan. 31 ,2013. If you want to book during the period Nov. 8 to 10, you'll save 15 per cent. If you wait to book on Nov. 11, you'll get 10 per cent off.

Not a Starwood Preferred Guest? It's free to sign up at spg.com, so there's no reason not to do it.

The offer is valid at a very solid 56 properties under the Starwood banner, including Westin, Sheraton, Four Points, W, Aloft and more. Rates are from a very low $79 in Montreal to $99 in Toronto and $104 in Vancouver.
