There are eleven hotels that offer a view of Niagara Falls and all are located in Niagara Falls, Canada. Below you will find detailed information regarding each Fallsview hotel.
Rates are for July and August and in US funds.
Rooms with Canadian & US Fallsview are the best. If you go for the breakfast buffet try to make it early as possible to avoid the crowd during the months of July and August. The Embassy Suites is rated as having the best views of the Canadian Falls.
Tremendous views and typical Marriott service. Rooms tend to be on the small side yet they are furnished beautifully. The Marriott Fallsview is rated in the top three Niagara Falls Hotels. Rooms sell out quickly for the months of July and August.
This Marriott Fallsview hotel has awesome views and is close to the Falls yet far from the crowds. The hotel is consistently receiving great reviews.
The Niagara Tower Hotel in Niagara Falls is the most unique hotel in Niagara Falls. Floor to ceiling windows with stunning panoramic views of Niagara Falls. Add this to the great on-premise restaurants and you have the makings of a very romantic getaway!
The Oakes is usually one of the lowest priced Fallsview hotels. The hotel is undergoing some renovations and is continuously improving. Outstanding views of Niagara Falls and in a great location. During the summer months you can ride the incline railway to Queen Victoria Park in a few short minutes.
The Radisson has a limited number of Fallsview rooms yet they do have a tremendous staff that offers friendly, helpful service. Located close to the funicular railway for easy access to the falls during prime season. Great reviews make choosing here a fool proof choice.
Try to reserve on the highest floors in the North Tower. The Hilton has the best location for viewing both Falls. A new infinity pool with views of the Falls is amazing. The Watermark restaurant has the most romantic setting in Niagara Falls. The Hilton is ranked as one of the best hotels in Niagara Falls for its combination of price, beautiful Fallsview suites and overall quality.
Connected directly to the Fallsview Casino via an enclosed glass walkway. Reasonable rates and many restaurants close by. If you are staying in Niagara Falls to see a show at the Casino the Four Points is a very popular choice.
Best views of the fireworks and the American Falls. Close to Clifton Hill and the Rainbow Bridge. There are even a few suites with outdoor balconies. Great reviews and we love the location. If you have an interest in walking to the USA to view the Falls or try the Cave of the Winds the Sheraton Fallsview has the best location. The entrance to the Rainbow Bridge is across the street!
The Crowne Plaza is located very close to the Rainbow Bridge and Clifton Hill. Rooms are beautifully appointed yet tend to be a bit on the small side. One of the only hotels in Niagara Falls that offers real balconies for select rooms. Be sure to read the room details closely when making a reservation.
View? It’s all about the view and the closer you are to the falls the better the view. But there is more than one falls! The closest hotels to the Canadian Falls are the Marriott Fallsview, Niagara Tower Hotel and the Embassy Suites Fallsview. Between the three the Embassy Fallsview slightly edges out the others because you see more actual falling water within the “horseshoe” shape of the falls. Higher floors are not necessarily better yet they do offer a more unique perspective of the park and surrounding area. Either way the view is absolutely stunning and you can really feel the power of the Falls.
The Sheraton Fallsview is the closest hotel to the American Falls. While the view of the American Falls is great it’s almost twice the distance as the Embassy Suites is from the Canadian Falls. One advantage the Sheraton has is for viewing the Falls at night when they are illuminated. It’s a postcard view to say the least and it’s also the best hotel for watching the fireworks.
The Hilton Fallsview is situated between the American & Canadian falls and offers a unique view of both falls. If you stay at the Hilton consider reserving a room on a high floor in the north tower for the best view.
Comfort? One criteria to consider is the size of the room. Before the Embassy Suites and the Hilton were built most fallsview hotels rooms are small when compared to todays standards. The Embassy Suites and Hilton’s standard rooms offer the most space making for a more comfortable stay.
Fallsview dining? The Marriott Fallsview has a great fine dining experience and a more adult atmosphere. The Embassy’s STK restaurant is excellent and has a lively and louder atmosphere. The Hilton’s Watermark restaurant has the best nighttime view of both falls for a very unique fine dining experience. It’s also a bit more subdued making for the perfect romantic dinner. You can’t go wrong at any of them but be prepared as they are not inexpensive. List of Fallsview restaurants.
Location? While the view plays an important part it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best location for getting around to see the sights. The main area for viewing Niagara Falls is Queen Victoria Park. It’s also where you board the Boat Ride and access Table Rock Visitor Centre at the brink of the Canadian Falls. The Sheraton Fallsview is almost at the foot of Clifton Hill and you can walk from there to everything. All of the other Fallsview hotels are about a ten minute walk to the park. Most hotels offer shuttle service to the park for a fee but they are not timely. If you don’t mind walking you can skip the shuttle and save a few bucks. There is a change in elevation between the hotels and the falls. You actually walk down to Queen Victoria Park. There is no easy access from the hotels nearest the Canadian Horseshoe Falls unless you take a shuttle or incline railway ($2.50 each way). The hours of operation vary but typically operates from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.
Parking? When staying at a Fallsview hotel remember parking is very limited and you will do most of your getting around on foot. The furthest distance from a Fallsview hotel to the park is .7 miles or 1.2 km which is about a fifteen minute walk. Bring some good walking shoes and dress appropriately.
Options? Yes it does rain in Niagara Falls and during bad weather it’s nice to have options. For this reason we give the Hilton Fallsview and Sheraton Fallsview high marks for their indoor swimming facilities.
The Fireworks displayed at Niagara Falls can be seen from every Fallsview hotels. View the distance from each Fallsview hotel to where the fireworks are displayed. While the fireworks over the falls are beautiful, the display is brief and six minutes in length. Fireworks schedule.
When booking a Fallsview room be aware that a “river view” or “partial view” is misleading and not what you want.*

A: When you reserve your room the fees are disclosed and you are agreeing to pay them. These fees are becoming commonplace everywhere.
Q: Do I have to pay for parking my automobile?

This can be fine during the summer months but a different story in the winter.
