Hotels in Niagara Falls, Ontario

Niagara Falls isn’t Vegas—a good thing, for the most part—but it is showing signs of appreciating the demand for high-end hospitality. If you enjoy the bright lights and the casino scene of Niagara Falls after dark, one luxe hotel choice is the 374-room Fallsview Casino Resort (6380 Fallsview Blvd.; tel. 888/325-5788), which opened in 2004. It has its own 18,580-sq m (200,000–sq. ft.) casino, a performing-arts theater, a spa, and a whopping 20 dining options. Another good bet is the 669-room Sheraton on the Falls Hotel (5875 Falls Ave.; tel. 905/374-4445), which offers rooms with truly gorgeous views of the Falls; many have balconies. The family-friendly Skyline Hotel & Waterpark (4800 Bender St.; tel. 800/263-7135 or 905/374-4444) has waterpark packages and family movie nights—and kids eat for free at the on-site Perkins Restaurant & Bakery.

A Family Adventure: The Great Wolf Lodge

Canada’s first Great Wolf Lodge (3950 Victoria Ave.; tel. 905/354-4888 or 800/605-9653) brings the popular American chain and its massive indoor water park to Niagara Falls. But this a water park and more: It includes an interactive tree house water fort, a four-story Canada Vortex slide, a Niagara Rapids Run—like a watery roller coaster—falls, wave pools, and whirlpool hot spas. Add to that seven family-friendly dining options and a range of suites.
