The Best Hotels To Book In Niagara Falls

Located directly on the border between the USA and Canada, Niagara Falls is one of the world’s most famous waterfalls – not because of its height, but due to the sheer volume of water that cascades over the rock. Over 168,000 cubic meters (44 million gallons) of water pass through every minute. It’s no wonder millions of visitors flock here each year to witness the thundering waterfall – either from land or by boat. Looking for somewhere to stay? These are the best hotels in the Niagara Falls region, including some luxury options, bookable now with Culture Trip.

On arrival, the Riverbend Inn is immediately impressive due to its Georgian mansion setting, surrounded by 17 acres (7ha) of immaculate grounds, including a private vineyard, managed by Klaus Reif of the famous Reif Estate Winery. All 21 rooms have been renovated to meet modern standards and yet retain their historic ambience, thanks to the elegant chandeliers and antique furniture that appear throughout.

This English Tudor-style bed and breakfast has been welcoming travelers since 1923.
