The Best Hotels to Book in Niagara Falls for Every Traveler

For a convenient stay close to the falls and the Fallsview and Clifton Hill tourist areas, try the 42-story Embassy Hilton. Guests have access to an indoor pool, free breakfast, a fitness center and an on-site restaurant with a view of Horseshoe Falls. The unique, year-round and fully accessible Incline Railway provides an easy link to the Fallsview Tourist Area, with a stunning view of the falls from the gondola. Package deals are available for couples and families, which include tours of Niagara wine country.

This budget-friendly hotel offers sweeping views of the falls through floor-to-ceiling windows in the rooms. It’s also near major tourist attractions including Fallsview Casino, and historical sites such as Lundy’s Lane Battlefield and the Carillon Bell Tower. Several restaurants are within the 30-story hotel, including an IHop, and there’s even a wedding chapel on the 25th floor.

The Sterling Inn & Spa caters to couples looking for a romantic getaway, honeymoon or a luxury escape at a hotel in Niagara Falls. Choose a room that includes a spacious rain shower with body jets, a jacuzzi for two or a steam shower. The full-service spa offers couples massages, facials, body wraps, scrubs, foot treatments or packages that offer a combination, while the on-site restaurant serves regional and seasonal dishes.

In the tourist district with the Fallsview Casino next door and shopping, dining, nightlife and entertainment just a few steps away, Oakes offers all you could want from your Niagara holiday. As a guest, you’ll receive a discount at Applebee’s restaurant and the nearby Remingtons of Niagara, whose USP is fine dining with singing servers. You also have access to the indoor pool and sauna, and most impressive is the view of the falls from the observation deck on the 14th floor.

Formerly known as the Imperial Hotel, the now fully renovated Vittoria offers a boutique experience combining a view of the falls plus convenient access to the best dining and entertainment in the city. Amenities include an indoor pool, hot tub and fitness center. Parking is available at a lower price than most other hotels in the area, and the restaurant serves a budget-friendly breakfast.

Originally the site of the Niagara Falls Milling Company, this quaint structure, built in 1904, was converted into a hotel in the 1970s and has become a mainstay of Niagara Falls hospitality. Past guests include Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Princess Diana. The inn, which combines old charm with modern elegance, is within walking distance of the entertainment district while offering a retreat from the busy main drag. The Flour Mill serves excellent made-to-order breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with an extensive wine menu inspired by the nearby Niagara wine country. Rooms are pet-friendly, but you will need to pay a fee.

This retro-chic boutique motel, within walking distance of Clifton Hill and the falls, is reminiscent of a 1950s roadside inn, and the Cadillac has been the site of a number of photoshoots, music videos – it’s even been used as a backdrop in movies. Each room features a mural of a Cadillac owned by celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Al Capone, ZZ Top and Elvis. Despite the vintage decor, the rooms are modern and spacious. Unusually for the tourist area, parking is free. Dogs under 25lb (11kg) are allowed, and there’s a yard behind the hotel where they can run around.

Close to all the major tourist attractions of Niagara Falls, but offering a home-away-from-home experience, Stone Boutique Suites is a great B&B-style alternative to the more conventional accommodations in the downtown area. You have access to a garden and barbecue grills, and the four suites at this charming guesthouse each include a kitchenette. Plus, there’s balcony access if you plan a summertime visit. Restaurants and other attractions are a short walk or drive away, and parking is free.
