A Room with a View: 8 Hotels in the Mist of Niagara Falls

If you’re looking to get the widest angle on the falls, Embassy Suites Fallsview have sweeping views of Horseshoe Falls and also the American Falls. Suites have private bedrooms and separate living rooms with a full-sized sofa bed, making it easy to accommodate large groups. The onsite Keg Steakhouse & Bar boasts fine panoramic views of the falls from its 9th-floor location– you can only fathom how much more appetizing that rare rib steak will be when paired with this vista!

Enjoy cooked-to-order omelets with bacon and potatoes alongside fruits, pastries, and oatmeal for breakfast. Once you’re fueled up for the day, saunter from that prime 42-story view and walk the 100 yards to the brink of the falls.

The large, airy rooms at the Marriott Fallsview open onto a landscape dominated by the Falls. If you get bored by the view, are plagued by rainy weather or are simply feeling lucky, head across the skywalk to the Niagara Falls Casino and try your hand at a jackpot.

If you’re visiting in the winter, consider upgrading to a room with a fireplace and whirlpool tub for an extra level of coziness as you look over the falls. Luxury bedding welcomes Falls-weary travelers at the end of the day. The hotel has a Starbucks in the lobby and an onsite restaurant with casual fare, as well as an indoor swimming pool and a spa if you feel like some pampering is in order.

If you’re visiting with children, the Hilton Fallsview not only has a fantastic view from their Fallsview Boulevard location (the address really says it all!) but they also have an indoor waterpark. Complete with a 30-foot waterslide, which kid or grownup can resist some splash time in the pool? The hotel spans across three towers overlooking the falls with spacious, family-friendly suites that can sleep up to six people.

You’ll also be connected via the walkway to the Fallsview Casino and can dine at the rooftop Watermark restaurant for a scenic look at the falls lit up at night.

If you’re looking to forgo your morning shower, just open the floor to ceiling windows and french doors in your room at the Sheraton on the Falls hotel and shampoo and condition with help from the mist of the Falls. If you fancy getting a bit wetter, head to the 114th-floor indoor pool or the 7th-floor seasonal outdoor pool (weather permitting) both of which boast some lovely panoramas of the Falls. The hotel’s farm-to-table restaurant Windows serves up fare from the local region’s rich farmlands.

The hotel also features a Niagara Falls staple — the buffet. Mountains of delicious food are paired with an incredible view of the Falls and access to a balcony so that you can get the perfect above-the-falls selfie. Come hungry.  For those requiring a caffeine jolt, there’s a very convenient Starbucks in the lobby.

A prime location at the base of the tourist promenade Clifton Hill and the iconic Rainbow Bridge add the to appeal of the Sheraton on the Falls as a home base for your Niagara Falls holiday.

What better way to get a premium postcard-worthy Instagram photo of the Falls than from the top floors of the 525-foot tower which makes up the Tower Hotel?

Room 2709 is rumored to have the best view from the entire hotel, but don’t expect to be disappointed by the others with massive windows that dominate the outside walls of the hotel. The Tower Hotel plays into the general kitsch of Niagara Falls with brightly-hued rooms which play off the neon colors illuminating the Falls at night. Funky patterns, free WiFi and a unique selection of furniture lending to a boutique hotel feel. At the 525 feet mark above the Falls, you’ll find the onsite restaurant, Marilyn’s Bistro & Lounge offering a locally-infused Mediterranean menu.

Prepare to be lulled to sleep by the soothing song of the Falls from the comfort of your massive bed. Plush and comfortable, the Radisson Hotel and Suites Fallsview offers up a great panoramic view of the Falls. Looking to inject a little romance into your trip? Upgrade to a room with a whirlpool tub, located right next to the window so you can splash together in a bubble bath while enjoying the fine view worthy of a painting.

The hotel has plenty of dining options with two restaurants on site: Tony Roma’s is renowned for their succulent ribs and the Outback Steakhouse puts an Australian spin on grilled steaks. Combined there’s enough variety to never have to leave the hotel premises and never stray too far from those fabulous views.

Looking for luxury in Niagara Falls? Book a room on the 11th or 12th floor of the historic Crowne Plaza Hotel and prepare to be whisked away (by a private antique elevator) to a view to kill for in these hallowed halls. You’ll be in good company as the hotel was briefly home to Marilyn Monroe, who stayed here during the filming of her film Niagara. We can attest that Marilyn would have certainly enjoyed the onsite spa with an infinity hydrotherapy tub that offers spectacular views of the Falls as you soak away your woes.

Further Hollywood connections include hotel guests like Sly Stallone, Bruce Willis, and Jackie Chan. The 11th-floor balcony terrace was also featured in a scene in The Whole Nine Yards. It could be the very one where you’ll be munching on room service from the Rainbow Room by Massimo Capra while enjoying the same stunning view as showcased in the movie.

Veering a mere 600 feet from the brink of the Falls, the Marriott Niagara Falls Gateway is a modern hotel bringing the view straight to your room. Massive windows in polished rooms offer unobstructed views of the Falls. Many rooms offer separate seating areas and fireplaces while others have two-story loft windows that give the impression of hanging above the falls.
